Rust : Claude Skill Package

44 deterministic Claude skills for Rust 1.85+, edition 2024 : ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, traits, generics, async, macros, unsafe, cargo, error handling, and more. Companion to the Tauri-2 skill package.

Built on the Agent Skills open standard. Discoverable via npm-agentskills manifest and OpenAI Codex skill discovery.

Why This Exists

Without skills, Claude reaches for .clone() to silence the borrow checker instead of restructuring:

// Wrong : clone to dodge a move error, paying an allocation on every call
fn process(data: Vec<String>) -> usize {
    let copy = data.clone();
    analyze(data);
    copy.len()
}

With this skill package, Claude reads the length before the move and keeps zero-cost ownership:

// Correct : take what you need before transferring ownership
fn process(data: Vec<String>) -> usize {
    let len = data.len();
    analyze(data);
    len
}

What's Inside

Category	Count	Purpose
core/	6	Architecture, runtime model, cross-cutting concerns

Installation

Claude Code (recommended)

# Clone the full package
git clone https://github.com/OpenAEC-Foundation/Rust-Claude-Skill-Package.git
cp -r Rust-Claude-Skill-Package/skills/source/ ~/.claude/skills/rust/

Skill Structure

Every skill follows 3-level progressive disclosure:

rust-{category}-{topic}/
├── SKILL.md              # Main guidance (< 500 lines)
└── references/
    ├── methods.md        # Complete API signatures
    ├── examples.md       # Working code examples
    └── anti-patterns.md  # What NOT to do (with explanations)

YAML frontmatter uses folded scalar >, "Use when..." opener, and a Keywords: line with technical + symptom-based + plain-language terms for maximum discoverability.

Quality Guarantees

• Deterministic language : ALWAYS / NEVER, no "you might consider"
• Version-explicit code : every example annotated with applicable versions
• WebFetch-verified : all code-snippets validated against official docs
• CI/CD validated : frontmatter, line count, structure, language, em-dash checks on every push
• Compliance audit : score >= 90% required for releases
