Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "rust-cargo-assistant" from https://skillstore.io/skills/curiouslearner-rust-cargo-assistant.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/curiouslearner-rust-cargo-assistant/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "rust-cargo-assistant". I need to add async support and JSON serialization to a Rust library.
Expected outcome:
- Recommended dependency roles for async runtime, serialization, and optional features.
- A feature flag plan that keeps default builds small.
- A checklist for testing default, async, and full feature combinations.
Using "rust-cargo-assistant". My Rust project builds slowly after adding many crates.
Expected outcome:
- A diagnosis path covering dependency tree review, cache use, profile settings, and linker options.
- Commands are separated into safe read-only checks and commands that change the system or project.
- Tradeoffs for faster development builds versus optimized release builds.
Using "rust-cargo-assistant". I want to publish a crate to crates.io.
Expected outcome:
- A release checklist for metadata, readme, license, version, package contents, and dry-run publishing.
- Warnings about token handling and irreversible publishing steps.
- Suggested follow-up checks after the crate is released.

What You Can Build
Set Up a New Rust Project
Create a clear Cargo layout for a new binary, library, or workspace project.
Maintain Dependencies and Features
Plan dependency additions, feature flags, version constraints, and workspace dependency sharing.
Prepare a Crate for Release
Review package metadata, publishing checks, semantic versioning, and release maintenance steps.
Try These Prompts
Start a Cargo Project
Help me choose the right Cargo project structure for a new Rust command line tool. Include the first commands and files to create.
Review Dependencies
Review my planned Rust dependencies and explain which should be regular, development, build, optional, or feature gated dependencies.
Troubleshoot a Build
Help me diagnose this Cargo build failure. Explain likely causes, safe checks to run first, and commands that need confirmation.
Plan a Release Workflow
Create a release checklist for publishing my Rust crate, including metadata review, packaging verification, versioning, and post-release maintenance.
Best Practices
- Ask for project context before suggesting dependency changes.
- Separate read-only Cargo checks from commands that modify files or publish packages.
- Confirm privileged commands, package installs, and release actions before running them.
Avoid
- Do not run publish, install, or cleanup commands without user approval.
- Do not add broad dependencies or full feature sets without explaining build impact.
- Do not treat example Cargo.toml snippets as final configuration for every project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this skill create a new Rust project?
Yes. It can guide binary, library, and workspace project setup with Cargo commands and file structure advice.
Can it edit Cargo.toml for me?
It can recommend edits and explain configuration choices. Actual file changes should follow the user request and project context.
Does it run Cargo commands automatically?
No. The skill provides command guidance. Execution depends on the host AI tool and user approval settings.
Can it help with dependency security?
Yes. It references Cargo audit workflows and dependency review practices, but it does not replace a full security audit.
Does it support Cargo workspaces?
Yes. It includes workspace layout, shared dependency, profile, and multi-crate project guidance.
Is it suitable for crate publishing?
Yes. It covers package metadata, dry-run checks, versioning, publishing, and yank workflows.
