# Rust Best Practices

Comprehensive guide for writing high-quality, idiomatic, and highly optimized Rust code. Contains 265 rules across 26 categories, prioritized by impact to guide LLMs in code generation and refactoring. Current for Rust 1.96 (2024 edition).

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:
- Writing new Rust functions, structs, or modules
- Implementing error handling or async code
- Writing concurrent, parallel, or `unsafe` code
- Designing public APIs for libraries
- Reviewing code for ownership/borrowing issues
- Optimizing memory usage or reducing allocations
- Tuning performance for hot paths
- Refactoring existing Rust code

|----------|----------|--------|--------|-------|
| 1 | Ownership & Borrowing | CRITICAL | `own-` | 12 |
| 2 | Error Handling | CRITICAL | `err-` | 12 |
| 3 | Memory Optimization | CRITICAL | `mem-` | 17 |

| 6 | Async/Await | HIGH | `async-` | 18 |
| 7 | Concurrency | HIGH | `conc-` | 4 |
| 8 | Compiler Optimization | HIGH | `opt-` | 12 |
| 9 | Numeric & Arithmetic Safety | HIGH | `num-` | 5 |
| 10 | Type Safety | MEDIUM | `type-` | 13 |
| 11 | Trait & Generics Design | MEDIUM | `trait-` | 6 |
| 12 | Conversions | MEDIUM | `conv-` | 3 |
| 13 | Const & Compile-Time | MEDIUM | `const-` | 4 |
| 14 | Serde | MEDIUM | `serde-` | 8 |
