What coding-guidelines does

The skill answers questions about Rust style and nudges the agent toward idiomatic code. Inside are rule tables for naming, data types, strings, error handling, memory, concurrency, async and macros. A separate table maps deprecated items to replacements: lazy_static! to std::sync::OnceLock, once_cell::Lazy to std::sync::LazyLock, try!() to the ? operator.

The rules are the non-obvious, Rust-specific ones. No get_ prefix on function names. Cheap borrows get as_, expensive ones to_, ownership transfer into_. Statics take a prefix like G_CONFIG, consts take none. There is a short cheat sheet too: snake_case for functions and variables, CamelCase for types, SCREAMING_CASE for constants, rustfmt for formatting, #![warn(clippy::all)] for lints.

You do not invoke it by hand — it loads as knowledge and fires when you ask about Rust style or review. Installing it into a project in another language makes little sense, since the rules are tied to Rust and will not come up elsewhere.

What it helps with

  • pick a name for a converter: as_, to_ or into_
  • swap lazy_static! and once_cell for std types
  • decide when expect() beats unwrap()
  • run a Rust review against a fixed rule list
  • drop Mutex for primitives in favour of atomics

Example prompts for the agent

  • check this module against coding-guidelines and tell me what breaks Rust style
  • what should I name a function that takes ownership of a string?
  • replace the deprecated crates in this file with current std equivalents
