Does it support package managers like Homebrew?

It includes templates for Homebrew formulas, Debian packages using cargo-deb, and Docker multi-stage builds for containerized distribution.

How can I reduce my Rust binary size using this skill?

The skill outlines specific Cargo.toml optimization profiles and the use of UPX to compress binaries from several megabytes down to a few hundred kilobytes.

How does this skill help with shell completions?

It provides implementation patterns using the clap_complete crate to automatically generate and install completion scripts for all major shells.

Can I use this for cross-platform builds?

Yes, it includes detailed target triples and configurations for both the 'cross' tool and GitHub Actions to build for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Is auto-updating supported?

Yes, it provides code patterns for the self_update crate, allowing your CLI application to check for and install newer versions from GitHub releases.
