rust-ecosystem-crates SKILL.md skillA

rust-ecosystem-crates from fusengine/agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add fusengine/agents/rust-ecosystem-crates@git:20260904.5f1d30f

Pins git:20260904.5f1d30f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when choosing crates for a Rust project — serialization, CLI, async runtime, web, database, HTTP client, error handling, observability. Not for API usage details of an already-chosen crate.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<objective>
This skill provides a domain-to-crate decision map of the de-facto 2026 Rust ecosystem
standards — serde for serialization, clap for CLI parsing, tokio for async, axum for web,
sqlx/sea-orm/diesel for database access, thiserror/anyhow for error handling split by
library vs application, and tracing for observability — plus the selection criteria behind
each choice.

It also covers matching an existing project's Cargo.toml conventions before introducing a
competing crate, and the version-verification discipline (never trust a remembered patch
number; confirm current versions on crates.io/Context7/Exa).

Out of scope: once a crate is chosen, its detailed API usage belongs to the matching domain
skill (rust-web-backend, rust-async-concurrency, rust-error-handling) or direct docs
verification (docs.rs/crates.io → Context7 → Exa).
</objective>

# Rust Ecosystem & Crates

## Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY crate selection, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one `Agent` call each with a `name`:

1. **fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase** - Read existing `Cargo.toml` to match established choices
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fusengine/agents/rust-ecosystem-crates@sha256:8b033e5ff983c2a2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.5f1d30f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
