rust-hexagonal

A set of Rust coding rules for hexagonal architecture, an approach that keeps business logic separate from external systems, using gRPC, a way for services to communicate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize Rust projects into domain, application, and infrastructure parts; define service interfaces; connect gRPC services and database storage; and enforce Clippy checks.
Why use it?
It keeps core code independent from databases and network services, making the structure easier to test and change. It also sets checks for error handling and code quality.

Cursor rule for Cursor

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 369 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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-hexagonal 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.

What it actually says

Rust Architecture Hexagonale

Structure

backend/src/
├── domain/          # Ports (traits) + entités + erreurs
├── application/     # Use cases (orchestration)
└── infrastructure/  # Adaptateurs gRPC + persistence

Domain (le cœur, zéro dépendance externe)

  • Entités : structs simples, dérivant Clone, Debug, PartialEq
  • Ports : traits async définissant les contrats
  • Erreurs : enum DomainError avec thiserror
#[async_trait]
pub trait AnomalyRepository: Send + Sync {
    async fn save(&self, report: AnomalyReport) -> Result<ReportId, DomainError>;
    async fn find_by_id(&self, id: &ReportId) -> Result<Option<AnomalyReport>, DomainError>;
}

Application (use cases)

  • Un struct par use case, injecte les ports via constructeur
  • Retourne Result<T, DomainError>
  • Pas de dépendance vers infrastructure

Infrastructure (adaptateurs)

  • gRPC : implémentation des services tonic, conversion proto ↔ domain via From/Into
  • Persistence : implémentation des traits Repository avec sea-orm
  • Chaque adaptateur dans son propre module

Conventions

  • Pas d'unwrap() en dehors des tests
  • cargo clippy -- -D warnings doit passer sans erreur
  • Tests unitaires dans le même fichier (#[cfg(test)] mod tests)
  • Tests d'intégration dans tests/
  • Mocking avec mockall : #[automock] sur les traits du domain

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-hexagonal is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository b-fontaine/devoxx-2026 (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 369 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.
