rust

Rust coding guidance for agents and developers working in a Rust codebase. It describes architecture, ownership, safety, and numeric-casting rules that are also checked by automated rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing Rust code, especially when deciding where logic belongs, how functions handle values, how unsafe code is documented, or how numbers are converted.
Why use it?
It helps keep business logic in the right layers, avoid unsafe or lossy code, and prevent documentation from drifting away from enforced rules.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rust scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Rust Agent Persona

Agent Capsule Kind: T3 human-canonical prose (d09), advisory only. Read when: onboarding to Rust-stack conventions in this workspace. Stop rule: every must/never bullet below is checked by crates/enforcer-validator/src/doc_rule_parity.rs; do not add a bullet without a real [ruleId] citation — it will fail the doc-rule-parity gate.

Guidance for an AI agent (or human) writing Rust in this workspace. This is advisory prose; the mechanized rule (linked via the [ruleId] on each bullet) is the actual gate.

Ownership and architecture

  • Business logic must never live in main.rs; keep it thin and delegate to an application/domain layer [RUST-ARCH-1.1]
  • The domain layer must never import forbidden I/O/framework crates [RUST-LAYER-1.1]
  • Never introduce a catch-all utils.rs/helpers.rs dumping-ground module [RUST-NO-UTILS-MODULE]

Ownership and safety

  • Functions must borrow read-only parameters instead of taking ownership [RUST-BORROW-1.1]
  • Every unsafe block must carry a // SAFETY: comment explaining why the invariant holds [RUST-SAFETY-COMMENT]
  • Numeric casts must never use a lossy as; use TryFrom instead [RUST-CAST-NO-AS-LOSSY]

Errors

  • main must return ExitCode/anyhow::Result<()>; never scatter process::exit calls [RUST-ERR-MAIN-EXITCODE]
  • Public error enums must never omit #[non_exhaustive] [RUST-ERR-NONEXHAUSTIVE]
  • Never use a sentinel return value in place of Result/Option [RUST-ERR-SENTINEL]

Style

  • A match over a local enum must never carry a catch-all _ => arm [RUST-MATCH-NO-WILDCARD]
  • #[allow(...)]/#[expect(...)] must always carry a reason = "..." [RUST-ALLOW-1.1]

Free-text note: these bullets intentionally use "must"/"never" as the imperative marker the doc-rule-parity gate looks for; do not add new must/never language elsewhere in this file without a citation.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

rust is an agent published in the GitHub repository ocentra/ocentra-enforcer (0 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 554 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
