SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

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.

Quick Start

Use the RustDevelopment skill to set up a new Rust module following Forge conventions.

Frequently Asked Questions about RustDevelopment

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Rust crate to follow Forge ecosystem conventions?▼

Rust crate conventions for the Forge ecosystem require a standardized layout covering Cargo.toml, src/lib.rs, src/config.rs, and binary separation to ensure interoperability and maintainability across modules.

What's the best way to handle errors in Rust libraries and binaries?▼

Rust error handling best practices recommend using Result types with thiserror for library APIs and anyhow for binaries, ensuring robust error management across different module layers.

How do I load configuration from yaml files in a Rust project?▼

Loading configuration in Rust projects requires reading from config.yaml and defaults.yaml, applying default implementations, and managing these files through patterns defined in src/config.rs.

Does Forge support cross-platform Rust compilation for Windows, macOS, and Linux?▼

Cross-platform Rust compilation in Forge emphasizes proper path handling, file system operations, and build target considerations to ensure compatibility across macOS, Linux, and Windows environments.

How do I create a CLI tool in Rust using clap?▼

Creating a CLI tool in Rust involves integrating clap for complex arguments and following specific binary separation patterns to guide the development of command line interfaces.
