Rust Development

This skill coordinates Rust development workflows and enforces Rust coding standards and best practices when creating or modifying Rust code.

Capabilities

• Rust architecture planning
• Rust code exploration and feature tracing
• Rust code review with high-confidence findings
• Rust implementation and refactoring

Instructions

When asked about generating new code or making code changes to existing code, make sure that edits are conformant to the Rust guidelines at .claude/skills/rust-development/guidelines.txt if the language to generate is Rust.

Key areas to enforce:

• Idiomatic Rust patterns and conventions
• Proper error handling (Result types, custom errors)
• Memory safety and lifetime management
• Async/await patterns when applicable
• FFI best practices for interop scenarios
• Documentation standards (rustdoc conventions)
• Testing patterns and practices

Only add a compliance comment when the user explicitly asks for a compliance annotation or a compliance-focused review. If requested, add:

// Rust guideline compliant {date}

where {date} is the guideline date/version.

Agent Delegation

Use these agents for Rust workflows. Always set run_in_background to true in the invocation payloads.

• rust-architect: Architecture and implementation blueprints
• rust-code-reviewer: High-confidence Rust code reviews
• rust-code-explorer: Feature tracing and architecture mapping
• rust-developer: Rust implementation and refactoring

Invocation template (always keep run_in_background: true):

{
  "description": "Short description of what the agent will do",
  "prompt": "Detailed task description",
  "subagent_type": "rust-architect | rust-code-reviewer | rust-code-explorer | rust-developer",
  "run_in_background": true
}

When to Activate

This skill activates automatically when:

• Creating new Rust source files (.rs)
• Modifying existing Rust code
• Reviewing Rust code for compliance
• Answering questions about Rust best practices
• Working with Cargo projects
