RustDevelopment

What problem does it solve?

This Skill establishes and enforces consistent Rust development practices within the Forge ecosystem, ensuring code quality, maintainability, and interoperability across different modules.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standardized Crate Structure: Provides a clear, opinionated layout for Rust projects.
• Configuration Management: Details patterns for loading configuration from config.yaml, defaults.yaml, and default implementations.
• Error Handling: Outlines best practices for library and binary error management using Result, thiserror, and anyhow.
• CLI Patterns: Guides on creating simple CLI tools and integrating with clap for complex arguments.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Emphasizes path handling, file system operations, and build target considerations for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
• Use Case: When starting a new Rust module for the Forge ecosystem, use this Skill to set up the project structure, define the configuration loading mechanism, and implement robust error handling from the outset.
