M05 Type Driven

What it does

The rustfs-m05-type-driven skill enables AI agents to generate Rust code based on provided type definitions. It leverages the power of Rust's strong typing system to produce more reliable and predictable code, reducing potential errors. This skill is particularly useful for automating repetitive coding tasks or generating boilerplate code.

When to use it

• Generating data structures: Provide a struct definition, and have the agent generate associated functions like new, getters, and setters.
• Creating API endpoints: Define the input and output types for an API endpoint, and let the skill create the basic handler function.
• Automating serialization/deserialization: Given a data type, automatically produce code to serialize and deserialize it using formats like JSON or TOML.
• Generating unit tests: Provide a struct definition and have the agent generate basic unit tests for its methods.

Key capabilities

• Rust code generation from type definitions
• Support for structs, enums, and traits
• Automatic generation of common functions (new, getters, setters)
• Serialization/Deserialization support (implied by Rust's type system)

Example prompts

• "Generate a Rust struct named User with fields id: u32, name: String, and email: String. Include a new() function."
• "Create an API endpoint handler for a Product struct, which has price: f64 and quantity: i32."
• “Generate a TOML serialization implementation for the Configuration struct.”

Tips & gotchas

• The more precise your type definitions are, the better the generated code will be. Ambiguous or incomplete types can lead to unexpected results.
• This skill is best suited for generating basic code structures; complex logic may still require manual refinement.
