ia-rust-systems SKILL.md skillA

ia-rust-systems from iliaal/whetstone is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add iliaal/whetstone/ia-rust-systems@git:20261011.2911a26

Pins git:20261011.2911a26 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Rust patterns for CLI tools, backend services, and general application code. Use when working with Rust, Cargo workspaces, axum/tokio services, clap CLIs, async concurrency, or configuring clippy, rustfmt, cargo-nextest, or Cargo.toml.

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

# Rust Systems & Services

Covers modern application-layer Rust (edition 2024): CLIs, web services, libraries. Not `no_std`/embedded.

## Working rules

- Preserve error variants in libraries and add operational context at application boundaries.
- Distinguish missing configuration from unreadable or invalid files before writing replacements.
- Keep blocking work off async workers, bound queues and spawned work, and define shutdown behavior.
- Trace exported interfaces before treating a change as internal; verify installed runtime capabilities.
- Do not mutate process-wide state in concurrent tests; exercise the real binary and relevant feature combinations.

## Unsafe Discipline

- Default: no `unsafe`. If clippy flags it, don't `#[allow]` it; refactor. The `#[expect]` escape hatch below does not apply here; unsafe findings get fixed, not annotated.
- Every `unsafe` block gets a `// SAFETY:` comment above it explaining why each invariant holds. No comment = reviewer rejects.
- Keep `unsafe` blocks minimal: wrap in a safe abstraction at module boundary, mark the module `pub(crate)`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iliaal/whetstone/ia-rust-systems@sha256:6272d83fbeba0dfd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.2911a26, 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.
