Coding Guidelines

What it does

This skill provides structured coding guidelines specifically tailored for Rust development. It helps AI agents maintain consistent code quality, adhere to language best practices, and follow project-specific standards during generation.

When to use it

• Enforcing strict formatting and style rules in Rust projects before merging pull requests.
• Guiding AI agents to write idiomatic Rust code that leverages ownership and borrowing correctly.
• Ensuring new team members or automated tools align with established architectural patterns.
• Reducing technical debt by standardizing error handling and module organization across the codebase.

Key capabilities

• Enforces Rust-specific coding standards and conventions.
• Promotes idiomatic usage of language features like lifetimes and traits.
• Maintains consistency in project structure and file organization.
• Supports integration into CI/CD pipelines for automated code review.

Example prompts

• "Generate a new Rust module for user authentication following the project's coding guidelines."
• "Refactor this existing function to align with our established error handling patterns."
• "Review the provided code snippet and suggest changes to meet the team's style guide requirements."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your project has a well-defined set of Rust conventions before enabling this skill, as it relies on clear standards to be effective. Limit its scope to Rust-specific tasks to avoid confusion when working with other languages in mixed-stack projects.
