skill 0.8.2

Blazing-fast Vercel Skills CLI, reborn in Rust — full command parity, native performance.
Documentation
//! Terminal control sequence sanitization (CWE-150).
//!
//! Strips ANSI escape sequences and control characters from untrusted strings
//! (skill `name` / `description`, remote index entries, repository metadata)
//! before they are rendered to the terminal. Without this mitigation a
//! malicious skill author can forge CLI output, clear the screen, or trick
//! users into approving installations they did not intend.
//!
//! Coverage follows the TypeScript reference at
//! `3rdparty/skills/src/sanitize.ts`:
//!
//! - CSI (`ESC [ ... <final-byte>`)
//! - OSC (`ESC ] ... (BEL | ESC \)`)
//! - DCS / APC / PM / SOS (`ESC {P,X,_,^} ... ESC \`)
//! - Bare `ESC <intermediate>? <final>` two-byte forms
//! - C0 controls (`0x00..0x1f`, except `\t`, `\n`, `\r`)
//! - DEL (`0x7f`) and C1 controls (`0x80..0x9f`)

/// ESC byte (`0x1b`) — the start of every ANSI escape sequence.
const ESC: u8 = 0x1b;
/// BEL byte (`0x07`) — one of the two legal OSC terminators.
const BEL: u8 = 0x07;
/// Literal `\` following ESC; the other half of the ST terminator.
const ST_SUFFIX: u8 = b'\\';

/// Strip terminal control sequences from `input`.
///
/// Preserves printable characters, tabs, newlines, and carriage returns.
/// The returned `String` never contains any of the escape forms enumerated
/// in the module docs.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use skill::sanitize::sanitize_metadata;
///
/// // Printable Unicode is preserved:
/// assert_eq!(sanitize_metadata("你好 🌟 café"), "你好 🌟 café");
///
/// // ANSI escape sequences are stripped:
/// assert_eq!(sanitize_metadata("\x1b[2Jpwned"), "pwned");
///
/// // Legacy 8-bit C1 controls are stripped too:
/// assert_eq!(sanitize_metadata("a\u{0080}b"), "ab");
/// ```
