What problem does it solve?

Clones Rust crate repositories from crates.io to explore their source code. It fetches the repository URL from the crates.io API, clones to /tmp/rust-crates/, and checks out the appropriate version tag.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fetch crate info: query crates.io to retrieve the repository URL and latest version.
  • Clone and prepare: clone the repository to /tmp/rust-crates if not cached, then prepare for exploration.
  • Checkout versions: attempt to checkout the correct version tag using common naming patterns, with a fallback to HEAD when no tag matches.
  • Explore source: use Read, Glob, and Grep tools to inspect the crate's source code, typically under src/.
  • Use Case: when you want to understand how a crate is implemented or verify internals, including monorepos with multiple crates.

Quick Start

Fetch the crate info from crates.io, clone the repository to /tmp/rust-crates, and check out the latest version tag to start exploring its source.
