Asked it to architect a small Rust CLI task manager with SQLite: it produced a full 13-file doc package (ADRs, guardrails, domain model with concrete structs/enums, Director/Implementor role contracts) instead of the couple paragraphs a baseline answer gives — genuinely more specific and idiomatic (rust_decimal-for-money, thiserror/anyhow split, ownership guidance), but wildly disproportionate for a task this small.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Rust Architect does
Produces a complete Rust project documentation set (README, CLAUDE.md, 8 architecture docs, ADRs, NEVER_DO/ALWAYS_DO guardrails, and Director/Implementor role contracts) from a short requirements interview. Triggers on requests to architect, design, or document a new Rust system, plan async/tokio patterns, structure a multi-crate workspace, or prepare handoff docs for AI-pair (Director/Implementor) coding workflows.
How to install Rust Architect
git clone https://github.com/nanlong/rust-architect
cd rust-architect
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/rust-architect ~/.claude/skills/rust-architect
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Rust Architect
-
/rust-architectGenerates a full Rust architecture doc package: ADRs, guardrails, domain model, Director/Implementor handoff.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Architect a Rust CLI task manager with SQLite storage and write the ADRs -
Help me design a multi-crate Rust workspace with Director/Implementor docs -
Write the guardrails and domain model docs for this new Rust service
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Rust Architect skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from nanlong/rust-architect. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Rust Architect work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Asked it to architect a small Rust CLI task manager with SQLite: it produced a full 13-file doc package (ADRs, guardrails, domain model with concrete structs/enums, Director/Implementor role contracts) instead of the couple paragraphs a baseline answer gives — genuinely more specific and idiomatic (rust_decimal-for-money, thiserror/anyhow split, ownership guidance), but wildly disproportionate for a task this small.
- What is the Rust Architect SkillProof Score?
- 8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Rust Architect?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Rust Architect with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
