When should I use the build-rust skill?

Use this skill whenever you are architecting a new Rust project or refactoring existing code to improve performance, safety, and maintainability in production environments.

How does this skill handle async-related bugs?

The skill identifies common pitfalls like blocking the async runtime or holding Mutex guards across await points and suggests cancellation-safe, non-blocking alternatives.

Which Rust crates does this skill support?

It provides patterns for popular ecosystem crates including Axum, Tonic, SQLx, Leptos, Dioxus, Tauri, Clap, and Tokio, ensuring you use the most current versions.

Does it help with Rust error handling?

Yes, it provides a clear decision framework for choosing between thiserror for libraries and anyhow or color-eyre for applications, following industry best practices.

Can this skill help with advanced Rust topics like FFI or macros?

Yes, it includes specialized routing for advanced domains like Foreign Function Interface (FFI), procedural macros, and embedded development via specialized reference documents.

API Development

Implements production-grade Rust patterns for backend, CLI, and native applications while ensuring memory safety and optimal performance.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for building high-quality Rust applications across various domains including web backends (Axum, Tonic), desktop apps (Tauri), and CLI tools (Clap). It codifies expert-level practices like the typestate pattern, cancellation-safe async code, and zero-cost abstractions to help developers avoid common production pitfalls such as deadlocks, runtime starvation, and inefficient memory management. By following these established heuristics and decision frameworks, developers can leverage Claude to write safer, more idiomatic Rust code that adheres to modern ecosystem standards and avoids obsolete patterns.

Key Features

01Standardized error handling selection between library-focused (thiserror) and application-focused (anyhow) crates.

023 GitHub stars

03Type-safe domain modeling using the 'make illegal states unrepresentable' philosophy.

04Decision frameworks for string ownership, trait objects versus generics, and lifetime simplification.

05Optimization of async runtimes through proper task scheduling and blocking-prevention patterns.

06Direct routing to specialized domains including embedded systems, FFI, and procedural macros.

Use Cases

01Developing complex CLI applications with robust argument parsing and diagnostic reporting via color-eyre.

02Architecting a high-performance web backend using Axum and SQLx with proper connection pooling.

03Refactoring existing Rust code to resolve borrow checker conflicts or async-related deadlocks.
