name: rust-async-patterns description: Master Rust async programming with Tokio, async traits, error handling, and concurrent patterns. Use when building async Rust applications, implementing concurrent systems, or debugging async code.

Rust Async Patterns

Production patterns for async Rust programming with Tokio runtime, including tasks, channels, streams, and error handling.

Use this skill when

• Building async Rust applications
• Implementing concurrent network services
• Using Tokio for async I/O
• Handling async errors properly
• Debugging async code issues
• Optimizing async performance

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to rust async patterns
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
