name	rust
description	This skill should be used when writing or reviewing Rust code, or when the project uses "Rust", "Cargo", "cargo clippy", "crate", or Rust module patterns. Provides Rust coding conventions, patterns, and best practices. Project-specific conventions always take priority.

Rust Conventions

Coding conventions and best practices for Rust projects. Project-specific conventions (CLAUDE.md, style guides) always take priority over this guidance.

Coding Guidelines

Import (use) Statements

Default: Don't use use unless explicitly requested by humans

• Global use statements at the top of files are discouraged (except in mod.rs and lib.rs)
• Avoid use for structs and enums - ALWAYS prefer full paths (e.g., std::collections::HashMap instead of use std::collections::HashMap)
• use is allowed for frequently used modules within the same crate (e.g., use crate::error::Error)
• When importing traits, place the use statement in the most specific scope where they're needed

Using crate:: reference

• Always use crate:: for referencing items within the same crate, even in the same module (e.g., crate::utils::helper_function())

Development Practices

• Must pass cargo clippy before commit
