name: rust-call-graph description: "Visualize Rust function call graphs using LSP. Triggers on: /call-graph, call hierarchy, who calls, what calls, 调用图, 调用关系, 谁调用了, 调用了谁" argument-hint: "<function_name> [--depth N] [--direction in|out|both]" allowed-tools: ["LSP", "Read", "Glob"]

Rust Call Graph

Visualize function call relationships using LSP call hierarchy.

Usage

/rust-call-graph <function_name> [--depth N] [--direction in|out|both]

Options:

• --depth N: How many levels to traverse (default: 3)
• --direction: in (callers), out (callees), both

Examples:

• /rust-call-graph process_request - Show both callers and callees
• /rust-call-graph handle_error --direction in - Show only callers
• /rust-call-graph main --direction out --depth 5 - Deep callee analysis

LSP Operations

1. Prepare Call Hierarchy

Get the call hierarchy item for a function.

LSP(
  operation: "prepareCallHierarchy",
  filePath: "src/handler.rs",
  line: 45,
  character: 8
)

2. Incoming Calls (Who calls this?)

LSP(
  operation: "incomingCalls",
  filePath: "src/handler.rs",
  line: 45,
  character: 8
)

3. Outgoing Calls (What does this call?)

LSP(
  operation: "outgoingCalls",
  filePath: "src/handler.rs",
  line: 45,
  character: 8
)

Analysis Insights

After generating the call graph, provide insights:

## Analysis

**Entry Points:** main, test_process_request
**Leaf Functions:** validate_header, serialize_body
**Hot Path:** main → run_server → handle_connection → process_request
**Complexity:** 12 functions, 3 levels deep

**Potential Issues:**
- `authenticate` has high fan-out (4 callees)
- `process_request` is called from 3 places (consider if this is intentional)

Common Patterns

User Says	Direction	Use Case
"Who calls X?"	incoming	Impact analysis
"What does X call?"	outgoing	Understanding implementation
"Show call graph"	both	Full picture
"Trace from main to X"	outgoing	Execution path

Visualization Options

Style	Best For
Tree (default)	Simple hierarchies
Box diagram	Complex relationships
Flat list	Many connections
Mermaid	Export to docs
