sota-rust SKILL.md skillA
sota-rust from martinholovsky/sota-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add martinholovsky/sota-skills/sota-rust@git:20261027.03dd711Pins git:20261027.03dd711 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

State-of-the-art Rust engineering (2026) for writing and auditing Rust code. Covers idiomatic ownership and API design, error handling and panic policy, unsafe discipline with Miri, formal verification (Kani proof harnesses, Flux refinement types), async/tokio (cancellation safety, structured concurrency, graceful shutdown), security and supply chain (cargo audit/deny/vet, integer overflow, serde hardening, zeroize), performance (profiling, allocation reduction, release profiles), and…
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
# SOTA Rust (2026) ## Purpose This skill encodes the 2026 state of the art for production Rust: the idioms, security posture, performance discipline, and CI baseline expected of an expert Rust codebase. It assumes a recent stable Rust toolchain, edition 2024 (Rust ≥1.85; next edition expected ~2027), and the tokio 1.x API. Verify the latest toolchain release at blog.rust-lang.org. It serves two modes — **BUILD** (write new code to this standard) and **AUDIT** (find where existing code falls short, with severity and evidence). The detailed rules live in `rules/*.md`; load only the files relevant to the task (see index below). Every rules file ends with an "Audit checklist" of grep/clippy patterns — use those verbatim in AUDIT mode. ## BUILD mode When writing or modifying Rust code: 1. **Scope the work, load the rules.** Pick the relevant `rules/` files from the index. Touching async code? Load 04. Adding a dependency, parsing network input? Load 05. Spawning an external program? Load 08. Writing any `unsafe`? Load 03 — no exceptions. Proving a parser, decoder or arithmetic function panic- and overflow-free, or touching any `#[kani::*]` or Flux `#[spec]`? Load 09. …

How to install
mdr add martinholovsky/sota-skills/sota-rust@sha256:fbd8e59bedeb4a8aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.03dd711, 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.
