How do I install the Build Rust skill?

Run npx get-skill add tomevault-io/build-rust in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Build Rust safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Independent scanners report: SkillSpector: PASS, Skill Scanner: PASS. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Build Rust?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Build Rust free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Rust Build Operations

Efficiently build Rust workspaces with the build-rust CLI.

Usage

# Development (fast, debug symbols)
./scripts/build-rust.sh dev

# Release (optimized, stripped)
./scripts/build-rust.sh release

# Profile with timing information
./scripts/build-rust.sh profile

# Fast type-check only
./scripts/build-rust.sh check

# Clean build artifacts
./scripts/build-rust.sh clean

# Build specific crate
./scripts/build-rust.sh release do-memory-core

Modes

Mode	Purpose	Flags
`dev`	Development build	`--workspace`
`release`	Production optimized	`--release --workspace`
`profile`	Performance timing	`--release --timings`
`check`	Fast type-check	`--workspace`
`clean`	Clean artifacts	`--clean`

Disk Space Optimization (ADR-032)

The dev profile is optimized to reduce target/ size (~5.2 GB → ~2 GB):

# .cargo/config.toml
[profile.dev]
debug = "line-tables-only"    # ~60% smaller debug artifacts

[profile.dev.package."*"]
debug = false                 # No debug info for dependencies

[profile.dev.build-override]
opt-level = 3                 # Faster proc-macro execution

[profile.debugging]
inherits = "dev"
debug = true                  # Full debug when needed: --profile debugging

mold is not part of the default project guidance anymore. Current .cargo/config.toml keeps CI-compatible linker flags.

Cleanup (preferred):

./scripts/clean-artifacts.sh quick
./scripts/clean-artifacts.sh standard
./scripts/clean-artifacts.sh full
./scripts/clean-artifacts.sh standard --node-modules

Artifact offloading with CARGO_TARGET_DIR:

CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/mnt/fastssd/rslm-target ./scripts/build-rust.sh dev
CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/mnt/fastssd/rslm-target ./scripts/clean-artifacts.sh standard

Common Issues

Timeouts

Use dev mode for faster iteration
Reduce parallel jobs: CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=4 ./scripts/build-rust.sh release

Memory errors

Build with fewer jobs: cargo build -j 4
Use check instead of full build

Dependency conflicts

Update: cargo update
Check tree: cargo tree -e features
Check duplicates: cargo tree -d | grep -cE "^[a-z]"

Platform-specific

Install targets: rustup target add <triple>
Conditional compilation: #[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
