How does this skill handle naming conventions?

It enforces Rust-specific rules such as avoiding 'get_' prefixes, using snake_case for functions, and specific prefixes for static versus constant variables.

Can this skill help with Rust performance?

Absolutely. It suggests optimizations like using Vec::with_capacity, preferring slices over nested iterations, and using atomics instead of Mutexes for primitives.

What is the Rust Coding Guidelines skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that provides domain-specific guidance, best practices, and implementation patterns for writing idiomatic Rust code.

Does this skill help with modernizing old Rust code?

Yes, it includes specific recommendations for replacing deprecated crates like lazy_static and failure with modern alternatives like OnceLock and anyhow.

Learning & Documentation

Enforces idiomatic Rust styles, naming conventions, and performance-oriented best practices for modern systems programming.

About

This skill equips Claude with a comprehensive set of 50 core rules for Rust development, focusing on writing idiomatic, safe, and performant code. It covers essential topics including specialized naming conventions, memory management, error handling via the Result pattern, and concurrency safety. By integrating these guidelines, the skill helps developers avoid common pitfalls, navigate crate migrations (such as moving from lazy_static to OnceLock), and adhere to the latest industry standards for Rust software engineering.

Key Features

Modern error handling strategies using the latest operator patterns
Memory safety and performance optimizations for data types and strings
Strict Rust-specific naming conventions and conversion patterns
Concurrency and async best practices to prevent deadlocks and overhead
Migration paths from deprecated crates to modern standard library features
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Refactoring legacy Rust codebases to use modern idiomatic patterns and standard library features
Onboarding developers to the nuances of Rust performance optimization and safety invariants
Conducting automated code reviews to ensure consistency in naming and memory management
