M05 Type Driven

What it does

The m05-type-driven skill enables AI agents to perform type-driven development, focusing on leveraging Rust's strong type system to ensure correctness and safety in code. It supports advanced type inference, pattern matching, and compile-time checks that help developers write robust and maintainable software.

When to use it

• When writing complex logic that requires strict type constraints and compile-time validation.
• For projects where runtime errors are unacceptable due to high reliability requirements.
• When working with data structures that need precise handling based on their types.
• During refactoring or extending existing codebases to ensure type consistency across modules.

Key capabilities

• Advanced type inference for improved code clarity and safety.
• Compile-time error detection through strict type checking.
• Support for pattern matching and exhaustive type handling.
• Integration with Rust's ecosystem for seamless development workflows.

Example prompts

• "Implement a function that safely handles different types of user input using pattern matching."
• "Refactor this module to ensure all functions are type-safe and use compile-time checks."
• "Write a data structure that enforces strict type constraints at runtime."

Tips & gotchas

• Ensure your Rust environment is up-to-date, as some features may require newer compiler versions.
• While the skill enhances safety, it does not eliminate the need for thorough testing and code reviews.
