+
+## 🔍 Rule Implementation Details
+
+### File: `missing_calldata_usage.rs`
+
+**Rule Name**: `missing-calldata-usage`
+
+**Description**: Detects external functions using memory for parameters when calldata would be more gas-efficient. Using memory unnecessarily copies data from calldata to memory, wasting gas.
+
+### Detection Capabilities:
+
+#### 1. **Medium Violations**: Memory in External Functions
+
+The rule detects memory parameters in external functions for types that should use calldata:
+
+**Pattern Detection**:
+
+- Dynamic arrays: `address[]`, `uint256[]`, `bytes32[]`, etc.
+- Strings: `string`
+- Byte arrays: `bytes` (dynamic, not fixed `bytes1-32`)
+- Structs: `StructName[]` and struct arrays
+- External functions only (ignores internal/private functions)
+
+**Example Violations Detected**:
+
+```solidity
+function transfer(address[] memory recipients) external { }     // ❌ Array should use calldata
+function hashData(string memory data) external { }              // ❌ String should use calldata
+function validate(bytes memory signature) external { }          // ❌ Bytes should use calldata
+function executeTxs(Transaction[] memory txs) external { }      // ❌ Struct array should use calldata
+```
+
+**Severity**: Medium (gas optimization, not critical)
+
+### Core Implementation Methods:
+
+```rust
+// Pattern Detection
+fn has_external_functions(code: &str) -> bool
+    // Scans for "external" keyword
+
+fn has_memory_parameters(code: &str) -> bool
+    // Checks for " memory " keyword
+
+// Type Evaluation
+fn should_use_calldata(type_name: &str) -> bool
+    // Returns true for dynamic types that benefit from calldata
+    // Arrays ([]); Strings; Bytes; Structs
+
+// Function Analysis
+fn find_memory_in_external_functions(code: &str) -> Vec<(String, Vec<String>)>
+    // Extracts external functions with memory parameters
+
+// Gas Estimation
+fn estimate_gas_savings(param_type: &str) -> usize
+    // Estimates gas savings:
+    // - Dynamic arrays: 1000 gas
+    // - Strings: 800 gas
+    // - Bytes: 600 gas
+    // - Structs: 500+ gas
+
+// Main Rule Implementation
+impl Rule for MissingCalldataUsageRule
+    fn name() -> "missing-calldata-usage"
+    fn description() -> "Detects external functions using memory..."
+    fn check(&self, ast: &[Item]) -> Vec<RuleViolation>
+```
+

+
+## 🧪 Test Coverage
+
+The implementation includes 6 comprehensive unit tests:
+
+### Test 1: `test_memory_in_external_function`
+
+**Purpose**: Verify detection of memory arrays in external functions
+**Code**: External function with memory arrays
+**Expected Result**: Violations detected for array parameters
+
+### Test 2: `test_calldata_in_external_function`
+
+**Purpose**: Verify recognition of correct calldata usage
+**Code**: External function with calldata arrays
+**Expected Result**: No violations for correct usage
+
+### Test 3: `test_string_parameter_memory`
+
+**Purpose**: Verify detection of memory strings
+**Code**: External function with memory string
+**Expected Result**: Violation detected
+
+### Test 4: `test_bytes_parameter_memory`
+
+**Purpose**: Verify detection of memory bytes
+**Code**: External function with memory bytes
+**Expected Result**: Violation detected
+
+### Test 5: `test_internal_function_not_flagged`
+
+**Purpose**: Verify internal functions are NOT flagged
+**Code**: Internal function with memory parameters
+**Expected Result**: No violations (memory is correct for internal)
+
+### Test 6: `test_gas_savings_estimation`
+
+**Purpose**: Validate gas savings calculations
+**Expected Results**:
+
+- `uint256[]`: 1000 gas
+- `string`: 800 gas
+- `bytes`: 600 gas

+## 💰 Gas Savings Breakdown
+
+| Parameter Type     | Gas Savings | Notes                   |
+| ------------------ | ----------- | ----------------------- |
+| `uint256[] memory` | ~1000 gas   | Dynamic array copy cost |
+| `string memory`    | ~800 gas    | String copy cost        |
+| `bytes memory`     | ~600 gas    | Dynamic bytes copy cost |
+| `struct[] memory`  | ~500+ gas   | Depends on struct size  |
+
+### Real-World Impact
+
+**Example: DeFi Protocol Batch Transfer**
+
+Before optimization:
+
+```solidity
+function transfer(address[] memory recipients) external { }  // 1000 gas overhead per call
+// 1000 calls/day × 1000 gas × $0.05/gwei = ~$50/day
+```
+
+After optimization:
+
+```solidity
+function transfer(address[] calldata recipients) external { }  // Savings: 1000 gas per call
+// Annual savings at scale: $18,250+
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔌 Integration Example
+
+```rust
+use gasguard_rules::{RuleEngine, MissingCalldataUsageRule};
+
+// Create engine with the new rule
+let engine = RuleEngine::new()
+    .add_rule(Box::new(MissingCalldataUsageRule));
+
+// Analyze code
+let violations = engine.analyze(solidity_code)?;
+
+// Example violation output:
+// RuleViolation {
+//     rule_name: "missing-calldata-usage",
+//     description: "External function parameter uses 'memory' for type 'address[]'...",
+//     severity: ViolationSeverity::Medium,
+//     suggestion: "Replace 'memory' with 'calldata'... Estimated gas savings: ~1000 gas"
+// }
+```
