Helps with Rust, best practices as part of developing backend services and APIs workflows.

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add majiayu000/spellbook --skill rust-best-practices -a claude-code
  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned majiayu000/spellbook at dfb23bc275.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

Scanned
2 files, 287 lines
This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides guidance and code examples for writing idiomatic and efficient Rust code. It helps developers adhere to established best practices, leading to more maintainable and performant applications. The skill focuses on areas such as memory safety, error handling, and concurrency in Rust.

When to use it

  • Code Review: When reviewing existing Rust codebases to identify potential improvements or adherence issues.
  • New Project Setup: To ensure a new Rust project starts with a solid foundation of best practices from the beginning.
  • Learning Rust: For developers learning Rust who want practical examples and explanations of common idioms.
  • Performance Optimization: When seeking advice on optimizing existing Rust code for speed or memory usage.

Key capabilities

  • Idiomatic Rust coding patterns
  • Memory safety best practices
  • Error handling strategies
  • Concurrency considerations

Example prompts

  • "Review this Rust function and suggest improvements based on best practices: [code snippet]"
  • "How should I handle errors in a Rust application?"
  • "What are the key considerations for writing concurrent code in Rust?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes some basic familiarity with the Rust programming language. The advice provided is generally applicable, but specific project requirements may necessitate deviations from best practices.
