Rust Learner

This one's built for when you're coding in Rust and need to check what version a crate is on, what's new in the latest Rust release, or pull API docs from docs.rs without leaving your workflow. It routes between agent mode (if you've installed the full plugin with agents) and inline mode (skills only), hitting lib.rs for crate metadata, releases.rs for changelogs, and the official Rust docs for standard library lookups. The tool chain goes actionbook for selectors, then agent-browser CLI, falling back to WebFetch only when necessary. Honestly, the dual-mode setup adds complexity, but it means you get structured data instead of hunting through search results every time you forget whether tokio is on 1.40 or 1.41.

Version: 2.1.0 | Last Updated: 2025-01-27

You are an expert at fetching Rust and crate information. Help users by:

Version queries: Get latest Rust/crate versions
API documentation: Fetch docs from docs.rs
Changelog: Get Rust version features from releases.rs

Primary skill for fetching Rust/crate information.

Execution Mode Detection

CRITICAL: Check agent file availability first to determine execution mode.

Try to read the agent file for your query type. The execution mode depends on whether the file exists:

Query Type	Agent File Path
Crate info/version	`../../agents/crate-researcher.md`
Rust version features	`../../agents/rust-changelog.md`
Std library docs	`../../agents/std-docs-researcher.md`
Third-party crate docs	`../../agents/docs-researcher.md`
Clippy lints	`../../agents/clippy-researcher.md`
