What is rust-2026-template AGENTS.md?

The main coding contract for a 2026 Rust project template. Rust is a programming language, and this file points agents to the project commands, structure, skills, scripts, and quality checks they must follow.

Use it when developing, testing, bootstrapping, or checking a Rust workspace. It also guides work on the project's agent skills, automation scripts, architecture records, and pre-commit checks.

It gives agents one shared source of project rules instead of separate, conflicting instructions for different tools. It also documents how to build, test, diagnose, and regenerate the skills index.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02159	$0.02159
Opus 5.5	$0.00864	$0.00864
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00432	$0.00432
Haiku 4.5	$0.00216	$0.00216

Security

Grade A, and why

rust-2026-template AGENTS.md 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 today.

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.

Agent Coding Contract

2026 Best Practice Rust Template - This is the single canonical instruction file for all AI agents. Tool-specific files (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, etc.) are thin adapters that point here.

Quick Reference

Task	Command
Build	`cargo build --workspace`
Quality	`./scripts/quality-gates.sh`
Tests	`cargo nextest run --workspace`
Setup	`./scripts/bootstrap.sh`
Diagnostics	`./scripts/doctor.sh`

Project Structure

.agents/skills/: Executable task knowledge and canonical workflows.
.agents/skills/harness/: Harness engineering — sensor response protocol and self-correction.
crates/: Workspace members (libraries and applications).
scripts/: Development, quality, and release automation.
plans/adr/: Architecture Decision Records.
.githooks/: Pre-commit quality enforcement.
AGENTS.md: THIS FILE (Canonical Project Contract).

Agent Skills (.agents/skills/)

The skills index is auto-generated from skill frontmatter. Do not edit the table below manually.

Regenerate after adding/modifying skills:

bash scripts/generate-skills-md.sh

Consult .agents/SKILLS.md for the complete skills index, or read individual skill docs at .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.

Multi-Agent Support

Skill symlinks are managed automatically. After cloning, run:

./scripts/bootstrap.sh    # One-command setup
./scripts/doctor.sh        # Environment diagnostics

CLI-specific directories read from .agents/skills/ via symlinks:

.claude/skills/ → Claude Code
.qwen/skills/ → Qwen Code
.gemini/, .opencode/, .windsurf/ → Read directly

Session Bootstrap

The repository includes a SessionStart hook to auto-inject project context at the start of an agent session. This helps agents orient themselves quickly without manual discovery.

Hook: hooks/session-start.sh
Config: docflow.json
Integration: Registered in .claude/settings.json for Claude.

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.
