Rust Best Practices Guide

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive, opinionated guide to modern Rust best practices, helping teams write idiomatic, safe, and maintainable Rust code across style, error handling, performance, concurrency, project organization, documentation, testing, security, and CI.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Style & Naming: Enforce Rust idioms for identifiers, modules, and documentation.
• Formatting & CI: Use rustfmt and cargo fmt -- --check to maintain consistent formatting in CI.
• Error Handling & Concurrency: Promote Result-based error handling, proper error context, and safe concurrency patterns.
• Project Structure & DX: Recommend Cargo workspace usage, module layout, and documentation/testing conventions.

Quick Start

Initialize a Rust project with a typical layout and apply the guide by running cargo fmt -- --check, cargo test, and cargo clippy in CI to catch issues early.
