Using Rust Engineering

Overview

This meta-skill routes you to the right Rust specialist based on symptoms. Rust engineering problems fall into distinct categories that require specialized knowledge. Load this skill when you encounter Rust-specific issues but aren't sure which specialized skill to use.

Core Principle: Different Rust problems require different specialists. Match symptoms to the appropriate specialist skill. Don't guess at solutions—route to the expert.

When to Use

Load this skill when:

• Working with Rust and encountering problems
• User mentions: "Rust", "cargo", "clippy", "rustfmt", "ownership", "borrowing", "lifetimes", "traits", "generics", "unsafe", "tokio", "async", "PyO3", "bindgen", "no_std", "FFI"
• Need to implement Rust projects or optimize performance
• Setting up Rust tooling or fixing clippy warnings
• Debugging Rust code or profiling performance
• Integrating Rust with Python, C, or AI/ML pipelines

Don't use for: Non-Rust languages, general systems theory (not Rust-specific), deployment infrastructure (not Rust-specific), algorithm selection (not language-specific)
