rust-qa-auditor

Purpose

Validate Rust evidence and quality gates before merge or release decisions.

When to use

Use this skill after implementation and review are complete, or when a maintainer needs a clear go/no-go decision based on evidence.

Evidence checklist

Required evidence for the selected profile:

• minimal baseline:
  • cargo fmt --check
  • cargo clippy -- -D warnings
  • cargo test
  • cargo audit
• workspace baseline:
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • cargo test --workspace --all-targets --all-features
  • cargo audit

Optional supporting evidence:

• cargo deny check
• benchmark or performance note for hot-path changes
• targeted integration-test output
• docs or examples verification when public-facing behavior changed

Every missing item must be explained with a blocker or rationale.

Decision rules

• approve only when required evidence is present and there are no unresolved high-severity findings
• hold when required evidence is missing, stale, or contradicted by code or review findings
• reject when correctness, safety, or release risk remains unresolved
• distinguish environment blockers from product risk; both matter, but they are not the same failure mode
• fail closed when required evidence for the selected profile is absent and no explicit blocker acceptance has been recorded

Output contract

Produce:

• decision: approve, hold, or reject
• evidence status for each required check
• unresolved findings or blockers
• explicit next action required to move forward
