SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires cargo-llvm-cov, cargo-tarpaulin, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the repetitive, error-prone manual work of scaffolding, configuring, and validating production-grade Rust CLI tools that meet cross-platform release, compliance, and CLI usability standards, ensuring adherence to framework requirements without custom setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end Rust CLI scaffolding: Automatically generates a complete Rust 2021 project with clap 4.x argument parsing, anyhow error handling, tokio async runtime, and tracing structured logging, pre-configured to meet cli-tooling role conventions.
  • Cross-platform release packaging: Wires in cargo-dist to build release artifacts for Linux x86_64/arm64, Windows MSVC, and macOS arm64/x86_64 targets, with size and performance optimizations like LTO and binary stripping.
  • Built-in compliance and validation: Enforces X4 compliance gates for SPDX license allowlisting, CVE scanning, and SBOM generation, plus X1 75% test coverage thresholds and X0 platform profile alignment.
  • Use Case: A DevOps engineer building a native CLI tool for managing edge AI cameras can use this Skill to generate a fully configured, compliant project in seconds, skipping weeks of boilerplate setup and validation work.

Quick Start

Use the skill-rust-cli skill to generate a fully configured, production-ready Rust CLI project for your new command-line tool, pre-wired for cross-platform release packaging, compliance checks, and CLI tooling role conformance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a production-ready Rust CLI binary with clap and tokio?▼

Scaffolding a production-ready Rust CLI binary with clap and tokio is automated by generating a complete Rust 2021 project pre-configured with clap 4.x argument parsing, anyhow error handling, tokio 1.x async runtime, and tracing structured logging.

What is the best way to configure cargo-dist for cross-platform Rust release packaging?▼

Configuring cargo-dist for cross-platform Rust release packaging is handled automatically by wiring builds for Linux x86_64/arm64, Windows MSVC, and macOS arm64/x86_64 targets, applying size and performance optimizations like LTO and binary stripping.

Does this Rust CLI scaffolding include CVE scanning and SPDX license compliance checks?▼

Yes, this Rust CLI scaffolding enforces X4 compliance gates that include SPDX license allowlisting, CVE scanning, and SBOM generation, alongside X1 75% test coverage thresholds and X0 platform profile alignment validation.

Can I generate shell completions for bash, zsh, fish, and pwsh when building a Rust CLI?▼

Generating shell completions for bash, zsh, fish, and pwsh when building a Rust CLI is supported natively by the generated clap 4.x project configuration, ensuring cross-platform CLI usability out of the box.

Do I need cargo-llvm-cov or cargo-tarpaulin to enforce the 75% test coverage threshold?▼

Yes, enforcing the X1 75% test coverage threshold requires running coverage validation using the dependencies cargo-llvm-cov or cargo-tarpaulin to ensure your Rust CLI binary meets compliance standards before release.
