rust-expert-best-practices-code-review
Rust best practices and code quality guidelines for writing idiomatic, safe, and performant Rust code. This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Rust code. Triggers on tasks involving Rust programming, code review, error handling, type safety, or performance optimization.
What this skill does
# Rust Expert Best Practices Simple, pragmatic, opinionated. Only what matters for writing production-grade Rust code. ## When to Apply Reference these guidelines when: - Writing Rust code (structs, functions, enums, traits) - Implementing error handling and Result types - Reviewing Rust code for safety or performance issues - Refactoring existing Rust codebases - Designing APIs and public interfaces - Optimizing Rust code for performance or clarity ## Rule Categories by Priority | Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix | |----------|----------|--------|--------| | 1 | Type Safety | CRITICAL | `use-typesafe-`, `use-enum-` | | 2 | Error Handling | CRITICAL-HIGH | `result-`, `avoid-panic` | | 3 | API Design | HIGH | `use-borrowed-`, `prefer-builder-` | | 4 | Code Quality | MEDIUM-HIGH | `use-iterator-`, `prefer-format` | | 5 | Readability | MEDIUM | `use-named-`, `avoid-boolean-` | | 6 | Performance | MEDIUM | `avoid-rc`, `avoid-box` | ## Quick Reference - `use-borrowed-argument-types` - Use &str, &[T], &Path instead of &String, &Vec<T>, &PathBuf - `use-enum-deserialization` - Use exhaustive enum matching for safe deserialization - `use-typesafe-index-wrappers` - Wrap index types to prevent mixing different indices - `result-error-returns` - Use ? operator instead of unwrap/expect in Result functions - `avoid-panic` - Use assert!, Result, or expect based on context instead of panic! - `use-iterator-transforms` - Use iterator methods instead of explicit push loops - `use-copied` - Use .copied() to avoid complex dereferencing patterns - `prefer-format` - Use format! over manual string concatenation - `prefer-builder-pattern-for-complex` - Use builder pattern for functions with 4+ parameters - `use-named-placeholders` - Use named placeholders instead of bare _ in destructuring - `decimal-comparison` - Use .is_sign_negative() instead of comparing to Decimal::ZERO - `calculated-field-as-method` - Implement calculated fields as methods not struct fields - `avoid-rc` - Avoid unnecessary Rc<T> when simpler ownership patterns work - `avoid-box` - Don't use Box<T> for concrete types without legitimate reason - `avoid-boolean-params` - Replace boolean parameters with enums or structs - `match-statements-handle-all-cases` - Explicitly handle all enum variants without catch-all patterns ## How to Use Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and code examples: ``` rules/use-borrowed-argument-types.md rules/use-enum-deserialization.md rules/use-typesafe-index-wrappers.md rules/result-error-returns.md rules/avoid-panic.md rules/use-iterator-transforms.md rules/use-copied.md rules/prefer-format.md rules/prefer-builder-pattern-for-complex.md rules/use-named-placeholders.md rules/decimal-comparison.md rules/calculated-field-as-method.md rules/avoid-rc.md rules/avoid-box.md rules/avoid-boolean-params.md rules/match-statements-handle-all-cases.md ``` Each rule file contains: - Brief explanation of why it matters - When to use and when not to use the pattern - Implementation requirements - BAD code examples with explanation - GOOD code examples with explanation - Additional context and best practices

jfrog
IncludedInteract with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.
cupynumeric-migration-readiness
IncludedPre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.
alibabacloud-data-agent-skill
IncludedInvoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".
token-optimizer
IncludedReduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
resend-cli
IncludedUse this skill when the task is specifically about operating Resend from an AI agent, terminal session, or CI job via the official resend CLI: installing/authenticating the CLI, sending/listing/updating/cancelling emails, batch sends, domains and DNS, webhooks and local listeners, inbound receiving, contacts, topics, segments, broadcasts, templates, API keys, profiles, or debugging Resend CLI/API failures. Trigger on mentions of Resend CLI, `resend`, `resend doctor`, `resend emails send`, `resend domains`, `resend webhooks listen`, `resend emails receiving`, or agent-friendly terminal automation.
alibabacloud-odps-maxframe-coding
IncludedUse this skill for MaxFrame SDK development and documentation navigation on Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute (ODPS). Helps answer MaxFrame API, concept, official example, and supported pandas API questions; create data processing programs; read/write MaxCompute tables; debug jobs (remote or local); and build custom DPE runtime images. Trigger when users mention MaxFrame, MaxCompute with MaxFrame, ODPS table processing, DPE runtime, MaxFrame docs/examples, DataFrame/Tensor operations, or GPU runtime setup. Works for both English and Chinese queries about Alibaba Cloud data processing with MaxFrame.
