rust-ecosystem-crates

rust-ecosystem-crates is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fusengine/agents. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,366 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to choosing Rust libraries, called crates, for common jobs such as data formats, command-line tools, web services, databases, HTTP, errors, and logging. It also explains how to check that a crate fits the project's existing choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a Rust project or choosing a crate for serialization, command-line parsing, asynchronous work, web development, database access, HTTP clients, error handling, or observability.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when selecting dependencies and helps avoid adding overlapping libraries or relying on outdated version information.

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-ecosystem-crates 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

It also covers matching an existing project's Cargo.toml conventions before introducing a competing crate, and the version-verification discipline (never trust a remembered patch number; confirm current versions on crates.io/Context7/Exa).

Out of scope: once a crate is chosen, its detailed API usage belongs to the matching domain skill (rust-web-backend, rust-async-concurrency, rust-error-handling) or direct docs verification (docs.rs/crates.io → Context7 → Exa).

Rust Ecosystem & Crates

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY crate selection, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one Agent call each with a name:

  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Read existing Cargo.toml to match established choices
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Confirm the CURRENT version + maintenance status on crates.io via Context7/Exa
  3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Pull the chosen crate's current API before writing code

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.


Overview — the decision map

Domain De-facto standard (2026) Reach for it when
Serialization serde (+ serde_json) Any (de)serialization; derive Serialize/Deserialize
CLI parsing clap (derive API) Argument parsing, subcommands, help generation
Async runtime tokio Almost all async I/O; the ecosystem default
Web framework axum HTTP servers on tokio + tower middleware
HTTP client reqwest Outbound HTTP, JSON, TLS
Database sqlx / sea-orm / diesel See db-and-async.md for the choice
Error (libraries) thiserror Typed error enums in a library's public API
Error (apps) anyhow Ergonomic Result with context in binaries
Observability tracing (+ tracing-subscriber) Structured, async-aware logs and spans

What ships with it

4 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.

rust-ecosystem-crates is a skill published in the GitHub repository fusengine/agents (25 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,366 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-09-03.
