SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps ensure Rust CLI tools are healthy by validating that they compile, lint, and run correctly across common scenarios.

Core Features & Use Cases

End-to-end validation: verify cargo check, cargo clippy, and release build for a Rust binary.
Runtime verification: execute the built binary with sample arguments, checking --help, --version, and operational outputs.
Use Case: CI pipelines can automatically verify new PRs by running the full validation suite and surfacing any failures with clear evidence.

Quick Start

Run the validation workflow on your Rust project to verify cargo check, cargo clippy, cargo build, and tests.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate a Rust CLI app end-to-end with cargo?▼

Validate a Rust CLI app by automating cargo check, cargo clippy, and cargo build, then running runtime tests to verify compilation, linting, and expected behavior across common scenarios.

What does cargo clippy check for in a Rust CLI project?▼

Cargo clippy checks a Rust CLI project for linting errors by analyzing code patterns to catch common mistakes, ensuring the binary satisfies verification steps before operational output collection.

How do I test Rust CLI exit codes and help output?▼

Test Rust CLI exit codes and help output by executing the built binary with sample arguments, verifying --help, --version, and operational outputs against expected behavior in happy-path and error scenarios.

Can I automate Rust CLI validation in CI pipelines?▼

Yes, CI pipelines can automatically verify new PRs by running the full Rust CLI validation suite, executing cargo check, clippy, and build, and surfacing any failures with clear evidence.

Do I need a Cargo.toml to validate my Rust binary?▼

Yes, you need a Cargo.toml with bin targets and a distribution binary, as this validation applies to typical Rust CLI projects requiring compilation, linting, and runtime test verification.
