rust-borrow-checker-error-explainer
Explain and fix Rust borrow-checker, ownership, move and lifetime compiler errors: E0382 use of moved value, E0499 cannot borrow as mutable more than once, E0502 also borrowed as immutable, E0505, E0506, E0503, E0507 cannot move out of index/Rc/reference, E0515 return reference to local, E0597 does not live long enough, E0716 temporary value dropped while borrowed, E0373 closure may outlive (spawn needs move), E0521 borrowed data escapes, E0384, E0596, E0594, E0381, E0713, 'lifetime may not live long enough', RefCell 'already borrowed: BorrowMutError' panics. Ranks fixes from restructuring (split borrows, entry API, split_at_mut, get_disjoint_mut, mem::take, Option::take, indices, thread::scope) down to clone and Rc<RefCell>/Arc<Mutex>; never unsafe. Covers NLL limits (get-or-insert), iterator invalidation, closure captures, self-referential structs. Ships std-only Rust triage tools.
rust-cargo-workspace-designer
Design, review and fix Cargo workspaces: when to split a crate (compile time, boundaries, publishing, proc-macros), crates/* vs apps/ + crates/ layouts, virtual manifest vs root package, members/exclude/default-members, resolver 2 vs 3 (MSRV-aware, edition 2024), [workspace.package] and [workspace.dependencies] inheritance, [workspace.lints], root-only profiles (lto, codegen-units), additive features with dep: and weak ?/ syntax, feature unification pitfalls, internal path + version deps, publish = false, Cargo.lock and MSRV policy, xtask, CI with --locked, nextest, rust-cache, sccache, cargo-hack/deny/machete/udeps/semver-checks, and cargo build --timings. Ships a workspace auditor and crate-graph tool.
rust-error-handling-thiserror-anyhow-designer
Design and review Rust error handling with thiserror 2 and anyhow 1: library vs application split, typed error enums with #[from], #[source], #[error(transparent)] and #[non_exhaustive], ErrorKind patterns, context via .context()/.with_context(), bail!/ensure!, source() chains, {:#} and {:?} reports, RUST_BACKTRACE/RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE, Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>, main -> anyhow::Result or ExitCode, unwrap/expect/panic policy, Option to Result, collecting iterators of Results, axum IntoResponse mapping, retryable errors, tracing, async Send bounds, testing with matches! and downcast_ref, no_std core::error::Error, and snafu, eyre/color-eyre, miette, error-stack.
rust-lifetime-annotation-advisor
Decide when Rust lifetime annotations are needed and which ones: the three elision rules, structs holding references (struct Parser<'a>), owned vs borrowed (String, &str, Cow<'a, str>, Arc<str>), one vs several lifetimes, 'a: 'b bounds, T: 'static misconceptions, Box<dyn Trait + 'a> default object lifetimes, impl Trait + '_ and edition 2024 capture rules with use<..>, variance and PhantomData, HRTB for<'a> Fn(&'a T), GATs and lending iterators, async fn and tokio::spawn 'static, self-referential structs (ouroboros, self_cell, indices, arenas), Rc/Arc to escape lifetime soup. Ships std-only Rust checkers for redundant, missing, unused and over-restrictive lifetimes.
rust-trait-design-reviewer
Review and design Rust traits and generic APIs: generics vs impl Trait vs dyn Trait (static vs dynamic dispatch), dyn compatibility / object safety (generic methods, Self returns, where Self: Sized, error[E0038] not dyn compatible / cannot be made into an object), associated types vs generic parameters, blanket impls, coherence and orphan rule (E0117, E0119, E0210), newtype, extension, sealed and marker traits, supertraits and trait upcasting (1.86), async fn in traits (1.75) and the Send bound problem (trait_variant, async-trait), RPITIT, GATs, From/Into/TryFrom/AsRef/Borrow, std trait checklist (Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Hash, Default, Display, Error, Send/Sync, serde feature), #[must_use], #[non_exhaustive], semver hazards, Deref abuse, builders, typestate, PhantomData, Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>, Fn traits, mockall.
rust-unsafe-block-auditor
Audit unsafe Rust for soundness: inventory every unsafe block, unsafe fn, unsafe impl/trait, extern block and unsafe attribute, check // SAFETY: comments and # Safety docs, and classify each as sound, needs-justification or likely UB, proposing safe alternatives first. Covers the five unsafe superpowers, aliasing (Stacked/Tree Borrows), invalid values, MaybeUninit vs mem::zeroed/uninitialized, transmute, slice::from_raw_parts, Vec::set_len/from_raw_parts, get_unchecked, CString::as_ptr dangling, unsafe impl Send/Sync, Pin projection, FFI (extern "C", repr(C), C-unwind, Box::into_raw/from_raw), strict provenance, static mut and &raw, edition 2024 (unsafe extern, #[unsafe(no_mangle)], unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn, env::set_var), Miri, sanitizers, cargo-fuzz, loom, cargo-geiger and clippy safety lints.
