rust-patterns
Idiomatic Rust patterns, ownership, error handling, traits, concurrency
by affaan-mFree
Description
rust-patterns is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It enforces idiomatic Rust conventions across six areas. Ownership and borrowing are used to prevent data races at compile time. Errors are propagated with Result and the ? operator, using thiserror for libraries and anyhow for applications. Enums and exhaustive pattern matching make illegal states unrepresentable. Traits and generics give zero-cost abstraction. Concurrency uses Arc with Mutex, channels, and async and await. Crate structure keeps public surfaces small and organised by domain. The skill applies when writing new Rust code, reviewing it, refactoring existing code, and designing crate structure and module layout. Because it is a SKILL.md file of instructions, an AI coding agent loads it for those tasks and applies the same conventions. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows all three security audits passing.…
