rust-skill-creator is an agent skill that generates reusable agent skills from docs.rs or Rust std documentation for developers who need coding agents to stop hallucinating crate APIs.
About
rust-skill-creator version 2.1.0 creates dynamic agent skills for Rust third-party crates and standard library modules sourced from docs.rs documentation. Developers pass a crate name or std module path as an argument hint, and the skill forks a general-purpose agent to extract accurate API references for tokio, serde, axum, and other dependencies. The skill activates on requests to create Rust skills, crate skills, or std skills in English or Chinese keywords. Teams reach for rust-skill-creator when agents repeatedly invent incorrect method signatures and need a documentation-grounded skill artifact instead of manual prompt engineering.
- Creates dynamic skills from third-party crates (tokio, serde, axum) or std modules
- Maps user phrases and crate names to docs.rs and doc.rust-lang.org URL patterns
- Agent mode runs /create-llms-for-skills and /create-skills-via-llms when the plugin is installed
- Standalone fallback path when related commands are unavailable
- Bilingual trigger keywords (English and Chinese) for discovery

How do you create agent skills from Rust crate docs?
Generate a reusable agent skill from docs.rs or Rust std documentation so coding agents stop hallucinating crate APIs.
Who is it for?
Rust developers who want coding agents to reference accurate crate APIs from docs.rs instead of hallucinating signatures.
Skip if: Non-Rust projects or teams that do not use agent skills for dependency documentation.
When should I use this skill?
A user asks to create a Rust skill, crate skill, or std skill from docs.rs documentation.
What you get
Reusable agent skill file grounded in docs.rs or std library API references.
- Rust crate agent skill file

Rust Skill Creator
Version: 2.1.0 | Last Updated: 2025-01-27
>
Create dynamic skills for Rust crates and std library documentation.
When to Use
This skill handles requests to create skills for:
- Third-party crates (tokio, serde, axum, etc.)
- Rust standard library (std::sync, std::marker, etc.)
- Any Rust documentation URL
Execution Mode Detection
CRITICAL: Check if related commands/skills are available.
This skill relies on:
/create-llms-for-skillscommand/create-skills-via-llmscommand
---
Agent Mode (Plugin Install)
When the commands above are available (full plugin installation):
Workflow
1. Identify the Target
| User Request | Target Type | URL Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| "create tokio skill" | Third-party crate | docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/ |
| "create Send trait skill" | Std library | doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Send.html |
| "create skill from URL" + URL | Custom URL | User-provided URL |
2. Execute the Command
Use the /create-llms-for-skills command:
/create-llms-for-skills <url> [requirements]Examples:
# For third-party crate
/create-llms-for-skills https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/
# For std library
/create-llms-for-skills https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Send.html
# With specific requirements
/create-llms-for-skills https://docs.rs/axum/latest/axum/ "Focus on routing and extractors"3. Follow-up with Skill Creation
After llms.txt is generated, use:
/create-skills-via-llms <crate_name> <llms_path> [version]---
Inline Mode (Skills-only Install)
When the commands above are NOT available, create skills manually:
Step 1: Identify Target and Construct URL
| Target | URL Template |
|---|---|
| Crate overview | https://docs.rs/{crate}/latest/{crate}/ |
| Crate module | https://docs.rs/{crate}/latest/{crate}/{module}/ |
| Std trait | https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/{module}/trait.{Name}.html |
| Std struct | https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/{module}/struct.{Name}.html |
| Std module | https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/{module}/index.html |
Step 2: Fetch Documentation
# Using agent-browser CLI
agent-browser open "<documentation_url>"
agent-browser get text ".docblock"
agent-browser closeOr with WebFetch fallback:
WebFetch("<documentation_url>", "Extract API documentation including types, functions, and examples")Step 3: Create Skill Directory
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/{crate_name}
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/{crate_name}/referencesStep 4: Generate SKILL.md
Create ~/.claude/skills/{crate_name}/SKILL.md with this template:
---
name: {crate_name}
description: "Documentation for {crate_name} crate. Keywords: {keywords}"
---
# {Crate Name}
> **Version:** {version} | **Source:** docs.rs
## Overview
{Brief description from documentation}
## Key Types
### {Type1}
{Description and usage}
### {Type2}
{Description and usage}
## Common Patterns
{Usage patterns extracted from documentation}
## Examples
{Example code from documentation}
## Documentation
- `./references/overview.md` - Main overview
- `./references/{module}.md` - Module documentation
## Links
- [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/{crate})
- [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/{crate})Step 5: Generate Reference Files
For each major module or type, create a reference file:
# Fetch and save module documentation
agent-browser open "https://docs.rs/{crate}/latest/{crate}/{module}/"
agent-browser get text ".docblock" > ~/.claude/skills/{crate_name}/references/{module}.md
agent-browser closeStep 6: Verify Skill
# Check skill structure
ls -la ~/.claude/skills/{crate_name}/
cat ~/.claude/skills/{crate_name}/SKILL.md---

Example Interactions
Example 1: Create Crate Skill (Agent Mode)
User: "Create a dynamic skill for tokio"
Claude:
1. Identify: Third-party crate "tokio"
2. Execute: /create-llms-for-skills https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/
3. Wait for llms.txt generation
4. Execute: /create-skills-via-llms tokio ~/tmp/{timestamp}-tokio-llms.txtExample 2: Create Crate Skill (Inline Mode)
User: "Create a dynamic skill for tokio"
Claude:
1. Identify: Third-party crate "tokio"
2. Fetch: agent-browser open "https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/"
3. Extract documentation
4. Create: ~/.claude/skills/tokio/SKILL.md
5. Create: ~/.claude/skills/tokio/references/
6. Save reference files for key modules (sync, task, runtime, etc.)Example 3: Create Std Library Skill
User: "Create a skill for Send and Sync traits"
Claude:
1. Identify: Std library traits
2. (Agent Mode) Execute: /create-llms-for-skills https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Send.html https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Sync.html
(Inline Mode) Fetch each URL, create skill manually
3. Complete skill creation---
DO NOT
- Use
best-skill-creatorfor Rust-related skill creation - Guess documentation URLs without verification
- Skip documentation fetching step
Output Location
All generated skills are saved to: ~/.claude/skills/
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Commands not found | Skills-only install | Use inline mode |
| URL not found | Invalid crate/module | Verify crate exists on crates.io |
| Empty documentation | API changed | Use alternative selectors |
| Permission denied | Directory issue | Check ~/.claude/skills/ permissions |
