rust-dev SKILL.md skillB

rust-dev from tenequm/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add tenequm/skills/rust-dev@v0.8.0

Pins v0.8.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Day-1 guide to building well in Rust - ownership, errors as values, String vs &str, Box/Rc/Arc, anyhow vs thiserror, and a crate shortlist (tokio, serde, axum, sqlx). Use when starting a Rust project, fighting the borrow checker, or picking crates.

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 Development - Day 1

A practical foundation for writing Rust apps well from the first commit. Not a textbook. Focuses on the differences from other languages, the day-1 decisions that shape everything else, and the small set of crates that cover most real apps.

## When to Use

- Starting a new Rust project (CLI, service, library)
- Coming to Rust from Python, JavaScript, Go, Java/C#, or C++
- Choosing between owned/borrowed types, smart pointers, trait objects vs generics
- Picking error handling strategy (`anyhow` vs `thiserror`)
- Deciding which crates to reach for
- Configuring a minimal but opinionated `Cargo.toml`, clippy, and rustfmt

## Day-1 Setup

```bash
# 1. Install the toolchain (rustup is the toolchain manager)
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

# 2. Confirm components (rustfmt and clippy ship with stable, rust-src enables IDE features)
rustup component add rustfmt clippy rust-src

# 3. Create a project
cargo new my-app          # binary (src/main.rs)
cargo new --lib my-lib    # library (src/lib.rs)

# 4. The dev loop (memorize these four)
cargo check     # fast type-check, no codegen
cargo run       # build and run (binary)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tenequm/skills/rust-dev@sha256:bd0a1262a19b22e4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.8.0, 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.

Audit of the latest version

B  16 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.

  • pass: Frontmatter block present
  • pass: Frontmatter declares a name
  • pass: Frontmatter declares a description
  • pass: Size between 200 bytes and 200 KB (27126 bytes)
  • pass: No zero-width or bidi control characters
  • pass: No instruction hidden inside an HTML comment
  • pass: No link to an exfiltration or paste host
  • pass: No credential-shaped string
  • pass: No instruction to send local credentials anywhere
  • pass: No text hidden with inline styles
  • pass: No prompt-injection phrasing

  • pass: No base64 blob over 200 characters
  • pass: No link to a raw IP address
  • pass: No script tag

Starting a new one? Use a template for SKILL.md on mdpantry, which passes every one of these checks and says what to change in it.
