neo-rust SKILL.md skillA
neo-rust from benknightdark/neo-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add benknightdark/neo-skills/neo-rust@git:20260531.de0cb05Pins git:20260531.de0cb05 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when writing, refactoring, debugging, or auditing Rust code. Trigger for .rs files, Cargo projects, ownership/borrowing/lifetime issues, Result/Option error handling, unnecessary clone/performance work, unsafe code review, or modern Rust architecture.
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
# Neo Rust Expert
Write safe, maintainable, and idiomatic Rust code by strictly following the official design patterns, leveraging Rust's powerful type system, and avoiding anti-patterns.
## Gotchas
* **Gotcha 1 (Async Mutex Deadlock / Send Error)**:
In an `async` function, using the standard library's `std::sync::Mutex` and holding its `MutexGuard` across an `.await` boundary will cause a compiler error because `MutexGuard` does not implement `Send` and cannot be transferred across threads.
* *Solution*: Use a local block `{}` to limit the MutexGuard lifetime before the `.await`, or use `tokio::sync::Mutex` instead.
* **Gotcha 2 (Excessive Cloning)**:
To satisfy the Borrow Checker, beginners often call `.clone()` excessively, which introduces significant memory allocation and copy overhead.
* *Solution*: Prioritize passing borrowed references (e.g., `&str` instead of `String`, `&[T]` instead of `Vec<T>`), or refactor ownership structures and lifetimes.
* **Gotcha 3 (Unsafe Unwrapping)**:
Using `.unwrap()` or `panic!()` directly in library or production-grade code will cause the application to crash, violating Rust's safety-first principle.

How to install
mdr add benknightdark/neo-skills/neo-rust@sha256:d3ab72f9839336ceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260531.de0cb05, 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.
