How do I fail a CI build if Clippy finds issues?

You can run the command 'cargo clippy -- -D warnings' in your CI environment, which treats all Clippy warnings as hard errors that will exit with a non-zero status code.

What is Clippy in Rust?

Clippy is a comprehensive collection of lints (over 500) designed to catch common mistakes, improve performance, and ensure your Rust code follows idiomatic patterns.

How do I configure Clippy at the workspace level?

You can configure workspace-wide lints by adding a [workspace.lints.clippy] section to your root Cargo.toml file or by placing a clippy.toml file in the workspace root.

Can I suppress specific Clippy lints for a single function?

Yes, you can use the #[allow(clippy::lint_name)] attribute directly above the function, module, or statement where you want to ignore the specific lint.

Security & Testing

Configures and optimizes Rust's Clippy linter using TOML files, lint groups, and custom attributes.

About

This skill empowers Claude to master Rust's official linter, Clippy, by providing comprehensive guidance on configuration strategies and implementation patterns. It covers everything from setting up root-level clippy.toml files and managing workspace-wide lint levels to implementing granular attributes and integrating static analysis into CI/CD pipelines. It is essential for teams looking to enforce idiomatic Rust standards, prevent common pitfalls, and maintain high code quality across professional software projects.

Key Features

Attribute-based lint suppression and idiomatic overrides
Advanced TOML configuration management for project-wide linting
CI/CD integration patterns for automated code quality gates
Standardized workspace setup for multi-crate Rust monorepos
Granular control over lint groups including Allow, Warn, Deny, and Forbid
72 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Automating Clippy checks within GitHub Actions or GitLab CI pipelines
Standardizing code quality and style across a complex Rust workspace
Hardening production codebases by upgrading lints from warnings to errors
