How does Rust Learner prevent AI hallucinations?

It uses background agents to fetch live data from docs.rs and crates.io instead of relying on potentially outdated model training data.

Does it support the latest Rust editions?

Yes, the skill is designed to fetch info for the latest releases, including Edition 2024 and the most recent stable and nightly versions.

Is the information retrieval blocking?

No, all research agents run as background tasks with 'run_in_background: true', allowing you to continue your work while data is gathered.

Can it distinguish between standard library and third-party crates?

Yes, it features a specialized routing table that directs queries to either the std-docs-researcher or docs-researcher depending on the module path.

What happens if a website is slow or down?

The skill includes a robust fallback principle, moving from actionbook MCP and agent-browser to WebFetch if primary methods fail.

Learning & Documentation

Facilitates real-time retrieval of Rust versions, crate information, and official documentation using specialized background agents.

About

The Rust Learner skill transforms Claude into a high-fidelity Rust consultant by providing a programmatic bridge to live ecosystem data. It bypasses potential model knowledge cutoffs by deploying background agents to query crates.io, docs.rs, and the official Rust standard library documentation. This skill is essential for developers who need accurate API signatures, up-to-date crate versioning, and detailed changelog analysis without leaving their coding environment. By leveraging the actionbook MCP and browser automation, it ensures that every recommendation is backed by the latest stable or nightly information.
