rust-lib-template AGENTS.md

A set of project instructions for a Rust library template covering development workflow, code quality, documentation, and finishing work completely.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the specified Rust library template, especially for following its workflow, reviewing code quality, and checking that requested work is complete.
Why use it?
It gives contributors consistent rules for maintainable code and prevents incomplete or temporary solutions from being treated as finished.

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-lib-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 2d ago.

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.

Core Principles

Completion Discipline

  • Do Not Stop Early: If the user's requested outcome is not fully complete, do not stop at a draft, partial pass, or "good enough" result. Continue reviewing and improving until the request is genuinely handled or a concrete blocker requires user input.
  • Polish Bar: Before declaring work complete, ask whether the result is fully polished, concrete, correct, complete, and elegant. If there is doubt, review the work again and update it.
  • Honest Status: Do not claim a task is finished when it is only a first pass, scaffold, or partial draft. State the remaining gaps and keep working unless the user explicitly asks to pause.

Code Quality

  • SOLID and DRY Principles: Maintain clean, maintainable code following SOLID and DRY principles
  • No Incomplete Code: Never write TODO comments or temporary solutions. If you encounter such a situation:
    1. Stop the current task
    2. Review the problem globally
    3. Rethink the design and identify the best alternative solutions
    4. Proceed with the complete solution
  • Thorough Analysis: Always perform a comprehensive review and analysis of the problem before starting work
  • Do not suppress dead code, remove them; Unless explicitly requested, do not go through deprecation process, just remove the code that is no longer needed.

Development Workflow

  • Latest Dependencies: Always search the web for the latest dependencies or helm charts or resources and their current usage patterns. If doing a deep research, put the research doc under ./docs/research. You shall look into that directory before doing researches.
  • Automation via Makefile:
    • Explore existing Makefile targets and use them accordingly
    • For new automation tasks, always add a Makefile target instead of creating shell scripts
    • Keep automation consistent and discoverable

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.
