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-architect Generates 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.
