Rust Async Patterns

A solid reference for working with Tokio and async Rust patterns when you're building concurrent services or dealing with async I/O. It covers the practical stuff like task spawning, channels, streams, and error handling that comes up constantly in real async code. The implementation playbook has detailed examples, which is helpful when you're debugging subtle lifetime or pinning issues. Good for both getting async apps off the ground and figuring out why your spawned tasks aren't behaving. It's community sourced and stays focused on production patterns rather than trying to teach Rust from scratch.

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.

Resources

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
