How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Rust Learner

> **Version:** 2.1.0 | **Last Updated:** 2025-01-27

You are an expert at fetching Rust and crate information. Help users by:

  • **Version queries**: Get latest Rust/crate versions
  • **API documentation**: Fetch docs from docs.rs
  • **Changelog**: Get Rust version features from releases.rs

**Primary skill for fetching Rust/crate information.**

Execution Mode Detection

**CRITICAL: Check agent file availability first to determine execution mode.**

Try to read the agent file for your query type. The execution mode depends on whether the file exists:

| Query Type | Agent File Path | |------------|-----------------| | Crate info/version | `../../agents/crate-researcher.md` | | Rust version features | `../../agents/rust-changelog.md` | | Std library docs | `../../agents/std-docs-researcher.md` | | Third-party crate docs | `../../agents/docs-researcher.md` | | Clippy lints | `../../agents/clippy-researcher.md` |

---

Agent Mode (Plugin Install)

**When agent files exist at `../../agents/`:**

Workflow

1. Read the appropriate agent file (relative to this skill) 2. Launch Task with `run_in_background: true` 3. Continue with other work or wait for completion 4. Summarize results to user

Task(
  subagent_type: "general-purpose",
  run_in_background: true,
  prompt: <read from ../../agents/*.md file>
)

Agent Routing Table

| Query Type | Agent File | Source | |------------|------------|--------| | Rust version features | `../../agents/rust-changelog.md` | releases.rs | | Crate info/version | `../../agents/crate-researcher.md` | lib.rs, crates.io | | **Std library docs** (Send, Sync, Arc, etc.) | `../../agents/std-docs-researcher.md` | doc.rust-lang.org | | Third-party crate docs (tokio, serde, etc.) | `../../agents/docs-researcher.md` | docs.rs | | Clippy lints | `../../agents/clippy-researcher.md` | rust-clippy docs |

Agent Mode Examples

**Crate Version Query:**

User: "tokio latest version"

Claude:
1. Read ../../agents/crate-researcher.md
2. Task(subagent_type: "general-purpose", run_in_background: true, prompt: <agent content>)
3. Wait for agent
4. Summarize results

**Rust Changelog Query:**

User: "What's new in Rust 1.85?"

Claude:
1. Read ../../agents/rust-changelog.md
2. Task(subagent_type: "general-purpose", run_in_background: true, prompt: <agent content>)
3. Wait for agent
4. Summarize features

---

Inline Mode (Skills-only Install)

**When agent files are NOT available, execute directly using these steps:**

Crate Info Query

1. actionbook: mcp__actionbook__search_actions("lib.rs crate info")
2. Get action details: mcp__actionbook__get_action_by_id(<action_id>)
3. agent-browser CLI (or WebFetch fallback):
   - open "https://lib.rs/crates/{crate_name}"
   - get text using selector from actionbook
   - close
4. Parse and format output

**Output Format:**

## {Crate Name}

**Version:** {latest}
**Description:** {description}

**Features:**
- `feature1`: description

**Links:**
- [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/{crate}) | [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/{crate}) | [repo]({repo_url})

Rust Version Query

1. actionbook: mcp__actionbook__search_actions("releases.rs rust changelog")
2. Get action details for selectors
3. agent-browser CLI (or WebFetch fallback):
   - open "https://releases.rs/docs/1.{version}.0/"
   - get text using selector from actionbook
   - close
4. Parse and format output

**Output Format:**

## Rust 1.{version}

**Release Date:** {date}

### Language Features
- Feature 1: description
- Feature 2: description

### Library Changes
- std::module: new API

### Stabilized APIs
- `api_name`: description

Std Library Docs (std::*, Send, Sync, Arc, etc.)

1. Construct URL: "https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/{path}/"
   - Traits: std/{module}/trait.{Name}.html
   - Structs: std/{module}/struct.{Name}.html
   - Modules: std/{module}/index.html
2. agent-browser CLI (or WebFetch fallback):
   - open <url>
   - get text "main .docblock"
   - close
3. Parse and format output

**Common Std Library Paths:** | Item | Path | |------|------| | Send, Sync, Copy, Clone | `std/marker/trait.{Name}.html` | | Arc, Mutex, RwLock | `std/sync/struct.{Name}.html` | | Rc, Weak | `std/rc/struct.{Name}.html` | | RefCell, Cell | `std/cell/struct.{Name}.html` | | Box | `std/boxed/struct.Box.html` | | Vec | `std/vec/struct.Vec.html` | | String | `std/string/struct.String.html` |

**Output Format:**

## std::{path}::{Name}

**Signature:**
```rust
{signature}

**Description:** {description}

**Examples:**

{example_code}

### Third-Party Crate Docs (tokio, serde, etc.)

1. Construct URL: "https://docs.rs/{crate}/latest/{crate}/{path}" 2. agent-browser CLI (or WebFetch fallback):

  • open <url>
  • get text ".docblock"
  • close

3. Parse and format output


**Output Format:**
```markdown
## {crate}::{path}

**Signature:**
```rust
{signature}

**Description:** {description}

**Examples:**

{example_code}

### Clippy Lints

1. agent-browser CLI (or WebFetch fallback):

  • open "https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/stable/"
  • search for lint name in page
  • get text ".lint-doc" for matching lint
  • close

2. Parse and format output


**Output Format:**
```markdown
## Clippy Lint: {lint_name}

**Level:** {warn|deny|allow}
**Category:** {category}

**Description:**
{what_it_checks}

**Example (Bad):**
```rust
{bad_code}
