rust-best-practices

by BeautifulRust

Write idiomatic, robust, maintainable Rust. Use this skill whenever you write, review, refactor, debug, or explain Rust code: new crates, modules, functions, structs, traits, error types, async code, unsafe or FFI code, Cargo.toml, tests, or rustdoc. Trigger on any mention of Rust, cargo, crates, .rs files, the borrow checker, lifetimes, traits, clippy, or rustfmt, even when the user does not ask for "best practices" or "idiomatic" code. Synthesized from the Google Rust Style Guide, the Rust API Guidelines, Effective Rust, Rust Design Patterns, and Microsoft's Pragmatic Rust Guidelines.

rust-reviewReview existing Rust code for idiom, API design, error handling, safety, and maintainability, and produce a prioritized report where every finding cites the rule it breaks and gives a concrete fix. Use this whenever the user asks to review, audit, critique, grade, or "check" Rust code, a crate, a module, a .rs file, a diff, or a pull request, or asks what is wrong with their Rust or how to make it more idiomatic, even if they don't say "review". Pairs with the rust-best-practices skill, which covers writing new code.0 installsrust-portPort code from C, C++, Python, Go, JavaScript, or TypeScript into idiomatic Rust that keeps the original behavior: ownership instead of manual memory, Result instead of error codes and exceptions, enums instead of flag ints and magic strings, and tests that prove the port matches. Use this whenever the user asks to port, translate, convert, migrate, or rewrite code in Rust ("rewrite this in Rust", "what would this look like in Rust", "move this module to Rust"), even if they don't say "port". Pairs with the rust-best-practices skill, which covers the target code's style.0 installs

Synthesized from the Google Rust Style Guide, the Rust API Guidelines, Effective Rust, Rust Design Patterns, and Microsoft's Pragmatic Rust Guidelines. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the rust-best-practices skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install beautifulrust-rust-best-practices` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/beautifulrust-rust-best-practices/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does rust-best-practices work with?

rust-best-practices runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the rust-best-practices skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use rust-best-practices after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/beautifulrust-rust-best-practices` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the rust-best-practices skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
