SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps developers quickly obtain up-to-date Rust version information, crate metadata, and API documentation references by querying authoritative sources and aggregating results for rapid decision-making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version queries: Retrieve the latest stable, beta, or nightly Rust versions, as well as specific crate version updates.
  • API documentation: Fetch and summarize docs from docs.rs for crates of interest.
  • Changelog & features: Surface release notes and feature changes from Rust and crates.
  • Execution modes: Leverage agent-based workflows when agent files exist, or inline mode for direct web-based access, with robust fallback handling.

Quick Start

Ask for the latest crate version or documentation, and the skill will fetch and present the results.

Frequently Asked Questions about rust-learner

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check the latest Rust crate version and release notes?

To check the latest Rust crate version, the skill queries crates.io and docs.rs to retrieve current version numbers, release notes, and feature changes. It aggregates this metadata for quick reference during development.

What is the best way to fetch Rust API documentation for a specific crate?

Fetching Rust API documentation is done by querying docs.rs for the target crate. The skill summarizes the API docs, using local agent files when available or falling back to inline web access with robust error handling.

Can I get Rust stable, beta, and nightly version information without browsing manually?

You can retrieve Rust stable, beta, and nightly version information without manual browsing. The skill fetches the latest version data directly from authoritative sources, presenting the results aggregated for quick review.

Does this Rust crate lookup approach work offline with local agent files?

This Rust crate lookup works offline if agent files exist under the agents directory. If absent, it falls back to inline web access via browser-based fetch to retrieve crate metadata and documentation with robust error handling.

Why does my Rust crate metadata query fail to return results?

A Rust crate metadata query fails if local agent files are missing and inline web-based fetch encounters connectivity issues. The skill applies robust error handling to manage these fallback scenarios and report retrieval problems.
