Set up, assess, or improve stable Rust projects for idiomatic safe code, maintainability, strict but usable rustc/Clippy/rustfmt policy, Cargo workspace and feature design, MSRV/edition/toolchain management, testing and CI, unsafe/FFI boundaries, documentation, crates.io packaging, and release hygiene. Use when asked to create or review a Rust project or Cargo.toml, make a Rust codebase easier to maintain, configure strict lints, reduce or govern unsafe code, add Miri/fuzz/sanitizer checks…

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 Project Setup

Set up, assess, and improve Rust projects using current official Rust, Cargo, Clippy,
rustfmt, rustdoc, crates.io, and RustSec guidance. Optimize for code that is easy to
understand, difficult to misuse, explicit about unsafe proof obligations, and practical
to test and publish.

See [ATTRIBUTION.md](./ATTRIBUTION.md). Keep detailed recipes in the references and load
only the domains that apply.

## Choose the operating mode

State the mode before acting:

| User intent | Mode | Default behavior |
| --- | --- | --- |
| “Create/set up/configure this Rust project” | **Implement** | Edit the requested project, then run proportionate checks |
| “Assess/review our Rust setup or maintainability” | **Assess** | Report evidence-backed baseline states; do not edit |
| “Advise/design/give me a checklist” | **Advice** | Explain an adapted setup or workflow; do not edit or perform external mutations |
| “Make this code more idiomatic/maintainable” | **Refactor** | Preserve behavior, public API, MSRV, features, and target support unless the user authorizes a change |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add photostructure/coding-skills/project-setup@sha256:83849db839c92e0f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260820.d8935aa, 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.
