What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps Rust developers prevent runtime errors by encoding domain-specific rules and invariants directly into their types, making invalid states unrepresentable and ensuring compile-time safety.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Newtype Pattern: Create distinct types for values with the same representation but different semantics (e.g., UserId vs. OrderId).
  • Type State Pattern: Encode state machines where transitions are enforced by the type system, preventing invalid operations.
  • Builder Pattern with Type State: Construct complex objects with compile-time guarantees for required fields.
  • PhantomData: Mark ownership and variance for zero-cost abstractions.
  • Zero-Sized Types (ZST): Use types with no runtime cost for compile-time markers and abstractions.
  • Use Case: Prevent accidental mixing of UserId and OrderId by using distinct UserId and OrderId newtypes, ensuring type safety at compile time.

Quick Start

Use the rust-type-driven skill to demonstrate the newtype pattern for user and order IDs in Rust.
