How does this skill help prevent Rust panics?

The skill scans your code for unwrap() and expect() calls, suggesting safer alternatives that use Result propagation or proper error context to ensure your application fails gracefully rather than crashing.

Does it support both libraries and applications?

Yes. It follows Rust best practices by suggesting the 'thiserror' crate for library-level typed errors and the 'anyhow' crate for flexible application-level error handling.

Can this skill help me learn idiomatic Rust?

Absolutely. It doesn't just provide code; it explains the benefits of patterns like the ? operator, automatic error conversion with #[from], and why specific error types are preferred in different contexts.

What error propagation patterns does it suggest?

It focuses on the '?' operator, the use of .context() for adding metadata to errors, and mapping errors using .map_err() when converting between different error domains.

安全与测试

Analyzes Rust code to implement idiomatic error handling using Result types, context propagation, and custom error enums.

关于

The Rust Error Handling Advisor is a specialized skill designed to improve the reliability and maintainability of Rust applications. It proactively monitors for anti-patterns like unwrap(), expect(), or manual error matching, providing immediate suggestions for more robust alternatives. By guiding developers through the nuances of the thiserror crate for libraries and anyhow for applications, it ensures that errors are properly typed, contextualized, and propagated, reducing runtime panics and making debugging significantly easier.
