What it does
When installed, the agent follows a set of Rust best-practice guidelines while writing or reviewing Rust code. It favors borrowing over cloning, uses Result and the ? operator instead of unwrap() for errors, applies thiserror for library errors and anyhow for applications, models states as enums with exhaustive matching, and organizes concurrency with Arc<Mutex<T>>, channels and async/await. It contains only written guidance and code examples; it runs no scripts and contacts no external services.
Great for
- Developers learning idiomatic Rust conventions
- Teams wanting a consistent style when reviewing or refactoring Rust code
- Anyone designing crate structure and module layout in Rust
Skip it if
- Non-Rust projects, since the guidance only covers Rust (wrong language, little value)
- Experts who already know these patterns and need novel, project-specific architecture advice (the content is general and brief)
- Cases where the guidance is followed blindly: some rules such as 'never unwrap()' or 'no catch-all match' are opinions that may not fit every codebase
Try asking
- “Review this Rust module and point out places where I should use Result and ? instead of unwrap()”
- “Refactor this struct-heavy code to use the builder pattern and newtypes for IDs”
- “Help me model these connection states as a Rust enum with exhaustive matching”
- “Suggest whether my error types should use thiserror or anyhow”

Add it to your agent
Claude Code (all projects)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && unzip rust-patterns.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/Claude Code / Agent SDK (this project only)
mkdir -p .claude/skills && unzip rust-patterns.zip -d .claude/skills/Claude apps (web/desktop): Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload skill, and choose the ZIP.

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Name the crate type (library or application) so the agent picks thiserror or anyhow correctly
- Check the agent's suggestions against your project's own lint and clippy settings, since the skill's rules are general
- Paste the specific code you want reviewed rather than asking for a general Rust overview
