rust-async-patterns
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.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Rust Async Patterns Production patterns for async Rust programming with Tokio runtime, including tasks, channels, streams, and error handling. ## When to Use This Skill - 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 ## Core Concepts ### 1. Async Execution Model ``` Future (lazy) → poll() → Ready(value) | Pending ↑ ↓ Waker ← Runtime schedules ``` ### 2. Key Abstractions | Concept | Purpose | | ---------- | ---------------------------------------- | | `Future` | Lazy computation that may complete later | | `async fn` | Function returning impl Future | | `await` | Suspend until future completes | | `Task` | Spawned future running concurrently | | `Runtime` | Executor that polls futures | ## Quick Start ```toml # Cargo.toml [dependencies] tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] } futures = "0.3" async-trait = "0.1" anyhow = "1.0" tracing = "0.1" tracing-subscriber = "0.3" ``` ```rust use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration}; use anyhow::Result; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<()> { // Initialize tracing tracing_subscriber::fm

What does the rust-async-patterns skill do?
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.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill rust-async-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
