Rust + Tauri Standards

Strict, reusable standards for Rust/Tauri desktop applications.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Writing Rust code in Tauri projects
• Creating new Tauri commands
• Separating SQL queries and prompts from Rust code
• Enforcing one-thing-per-file discipline in Rust modules

Non-Negotiables (MUST)

• One public symbol per file (function / type / trait).
• No inline SQL strings in .rs files; use dedicated SQL files with include_str!() (e.g. src-tauri/sql/<area>/Xxx.sql).
• No inline LLM/AI prompts in .rs files; use dedicated prompt files with include_str!() (e.g. src-tauri/prompts/<area>/Xxx.prompt).
• When creating a Tauri command: (1) create command file, (2) register in invoke handler, (3) add to permissions allowlist.

Module Layout

• src-tauri/src/services/: external boundaries (IO, DB, network).
• src-tauri/src/utils/: pure logic (no IO).
• src-tauri/src/models/: domain types (one type per file).
• No "misc" modules like helpers.rs or common.rs.

Rules

Language & Style

• rust-language-style - Language & style (English-only, struct/enum, error types)

One Thing Per File

• rust-one-thing-per-file - One thing per file (STRICT)
• rust-module-manifests - Module manifests exception (mod.rs)

Module Layout

• rust-module-layout - Module layout (STRICT) - services, utils, models

SQL Separation

• rust-sql-separation - SQL separation (STRICT) - no inline SQL

Prompt Separation

• rust-prompt-separation - Prompt separation (STRICT) - no inline prompts

Boundaries

• rust-boundaries - Boundaries (thin handlers, validate, call service, return)

Tauri Commands

• rust-tauri-commands-checklist - Tauri commands checklist (MANDATORY)

Validation

• rust-validation - Validation (run checks after changes)

How to Use

Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and code examples:

rules/rust-one-thing-per-file.md
rules/rust-sql-separation.md
rules/rust-tauri-commands-checklist.md

Each rule file contains:

• Brief explanation of why it matters
• Code examples (correct and incorrect patterns)
• Additional context and best practices
