writing-rust

writing-rust is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alexei-led/cc-thingz. It costs 73 tokens per session (792 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Development guidance for Rust programs and Cargo projects. Cargo is Rust’s tool for building packages, running tests, and managing dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing Rust crates, Cargo workspaces, command-line tools, tests, and workflows using rustfmt, Clippy, and cargo commands.
Why use it?
It helps keep Rust code idiomatic and the feedback loop focused, with attention to ownership, error handling, dependencies, and tests.

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

writing-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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rust Development

Use only for Rust crates and Cargo workspaces. Follow the crate's edition, MSRV, toolchain file, CI, and local style. Rust CLI development (clap, argument parsing, subcommands) is in scope; apply patterns.md and testing.md — there is no dedicated CLI reference.

Read First

Read principles.md before writing, changing, or reviewing Rust code. Read conditional references only when the change touches that area.

Conditional References

  • patterns.md — crate layout, modules, ownership, traits, errors, async, unsafe, and public APIs.
  • testing.md — adding or reshaping Rust tests; keep the local test loop fast.
  • linting.md — changing rustfmt, Clippy, cargo check, CI gates, or slow lint workflows.

Comments and Rustdoc

  • Use /// or //! rustdoc for public APIs when users need contracts, edge cases, examples, or safety notes.
  • Add implementation comments only for non-obvious constraints, invariants, side effects, tradeoffs, or unsafe assumptions.
  • Keep comments short. Move longer rationale to docs, issue links, or design notes.
  • Do not comment obvious code or restate names and types.
  • Keep tests readable without comments; add one only for unobvious fixtures, timing, concurrency, unsafe invariants, or regression context.
  • Document safety invariants next to unsafe blocks.

Edition and MSRV

  • Inspect Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, rust-toolchain.toml, CI, and nearby code before using edition- or version-specific APIs.
  • Do not use APIs newer than package.rust-version or the pinned toolchain unless the task is an upgrade.
  • Use Edition 2024 syntax only when the crate already opts into edition = "2024".
  • Respect feature flags. Do not enable --all-features assumptions in code unless incompatible feature combinations are ruled out.

Verification

Run focused Cargo checks while editing, then the project-configured build, tests, format, and lint before final output. Prefer:

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
