How does this help with CLI validation?

It provides standardized patterns for custom value parsers and argument groups to ensure inputs are validated and constrained at the CLI entry point.

Can it help with help documentation and shell completion?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for customizing help templates, adding usage examples, and providing value hints for better shell completion support.

Can I use this for both the Derive and Builder APIs?

Yes, it includes detailed guidance for both declarative Derive patterns and dynamic Builder API implementations for runtime flexibility.

Does this skill support Clap v3?

This skill specifically focuses on the patterns and idioms introduced in Clap v4 and later versions to ensure modern best practices.

开发者工具

Implements idiomatic patterns and best practices for building robust command-line interfaces using the Rust Clap v4+ crate.

关于

This skill provides a comprehensive library of patterns and idioms for the Clap v4+ argument parsing crate, enabling Claude to architect sophisticated Rust CLI applications. It covers essential techniques including both Derive and Builder APIs, complex argument grouping for mutual exclusivity, custom value parsers for advanced validation, and environment variable integration. By leveraging these patterns, developers can rapidly scaffold type-safe, user-friendly command-line tools that adhere to modern Rust development standards and provide a polished end-user experience.
