Install Rust Patterns

skills CLI
$ npx skills add kurealnum/dotfiles --skill rust-patterns -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install kurealnum/dotfiles rust-patterns --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kurealnum/dotfiles.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.agents/skills/rust-patterns .claude/skills/rust-patterns && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

What it does

Rust Patterns is an agent skill from kurealnum/dotfiles. Idiomatic Rust patterns, ownership, error handling, traits, concurrency, and best practices for building safe, performant applications.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Error handling. It works with Rust.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Error handling

Example prompts

  • “/rust-patterns”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bcd8741. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • cargo

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rust Patterns loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 374 words (~3,307 tokens).

“Idiomatic Rust patterns and best practices for building safe, performant, and maintainable applications.”

How do I install Rust Patterns in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add kurealnum/dotfiles --skill rust-patterns -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/rust-patterns in kurealnum/dotfiles) into .claude/skills/rust-patterns in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Rust Patterns in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add kurealnum/dotfiles --skill rust-patterns -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/rust-patterns, .gemini/skills/rust-patterns, .github/skills/rust-patterns and .opencode/skills/rust-patterns in your project.

What does Rust Patterns need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Rust Patterns needs the command-line tools its instructions call (cargo).

Does Rust Patterns access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Rust Patterns safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
