Beautiful Rust: idiomatic Rust skills for coding agents

Three skills that make your agent write, review and port Rust the way experienced Rust developers do: one steers every Rust edit, one reviews code and cites the rule each problem breaks, and one ports C, C++, Python, Go or JavaScript to Rust, moving the old tests over first so you can prove nothing changed. A ready clippy config enforces the checkable rules in CI.

In short: Three skills that make your agent write, review and port Rust the way experienced Rust developers do: one steers every Rust edit, one reviews code and cites the rule each problem breaks, and one ports C, C++, Python, Go or JavaScript to Rust, moving the old tests over first so you can prove nothing changed. A ready clippy config enforces the checkable rules in CI. It is a free skill for people who use Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and want help with coding agent skills.

What it does

Three skills that make your agent write, review and port Rust the way experienced Rust developers do: one steers every Rust edit, one reviews code and cites the rule each problem breaks, and one ports C, C++, Python, Go or JavaScript to Rust, moving the old tests over first so you can prove nothing changed. A ready clippy config enforces the checkable rules in CI.

rust-best-practices switches on whenever the agent touches Rust; rust-review writes a prioritised report where each finding names the rule and shows the fix; rust-port moves C, C++, Python, Go or JavaScript code to Rust…

A prompt to try

Use rust-review on src/parser.rs and give me a prioritised list of problems, each with the rule it breaks and the fix.

Written by us so you can reuse it. Replace each [bracket] with your details.

Step by step

  1. Open the GitHub repo and read the before/after example.
  2. Run npx skills add morganlinton/BeautifulRust (or in Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add morganlinton/BeautifulRust, then /plugin install beautiful-rust@beautiful-rust).
  3. Install all three skills: the review and port skills lean on the best-practices one.
  4. Ask for a review of one crate or a small port first, and copy lints/ into your project if you want CI to enforce the rules.

Watch out for

The style rules are opinionated (where its five sources disagree it picks a side), so check they match your team. Porting is safest on small modules with good tests. The repo is only a few days old.
