Rust Coding Guidelines

Naming (Rust-Specific)

RuleGuideline
No get_ prefixfn name() not fn get_name()
Iterator conventioniter() / iter_mut() / into_iter()
Conversion namingas_ (cheap ref), to_ (expensive), into_ (ownership)
ConstantsSCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for const/static

Data Types

RuleGuideline
Use newtypesstruct Email(String) for domain semantics
Prefer slice patternsif let [first, .., last] = slice
Pre-allocateVec::with_capacity(), String::with_capacity()
Avoid Vec abuseUse arrays for fixed sizes

Strings

RuleGuideline
Prefer bytess.bytes() over s.chars() when ASCII
Use Cow<str>When might modify borrowed data
Use write!Over string concatenation with +
Avoid nested iterationcontains() on string is O(n·m)

Error Handling

RuleGuideline
Use ? propagationNot try!() macro
expect() over unwrap()When value is guaranteed
Assertions for invariantsassert! at function entry

Memory

RuleGuideline
Meaningful lifetimes'src, 'ctx not just 'a
try_borrow() for RefCellAvoid panic
Shadowing for transformationlet x = x.parse()?

Concurrency

RuleGuideline
Identify lock orderingPrevent deadlocks
Atomics for primitivesNot Mutex for bool/usize
Choose memory order carefullyRelaxed/Acquire/Release/SeqCst

Async

RuleGuideline
Sync threads for CPU-boundAsync is for I/O
Don't hold locks across awaitUse scoped guards

Macros

RuleGuideline
Avoid unless necessaryPrefer functions/generics
Follow Rust syntaxMacro input should look like Rust

Quick Reference

Naming:  snake_case (fn/var), CamelCase (type), SCREAMING_CASE (const)
Format:  rustfmt (just use it)
Docs:    /// for public items, //! for module docs
Lint:    #![warn(clippy::all)]

Derive and implement first-principles audio-coupled haptic and kinetic UI feedback. Use when designing, reviewing, or coding haptics/audio for mobile apps, native iOS/Android, React Native/Expo, SwiftUI, games, detent pickers, toggles, sliders, page curls, scroll gestures, wallet/signature flows, Solana transactions, backend/realtime state changes, confirmations, settlements, and semantic UI events where feedback should follow signal math instead of ad hoc vibration calls.

Babysit a GitHub pull request during a user-approved monitoring window by polling review comments, CI checks/workflow runs, and mergeability state. Diagnose failures, retry likely flaky failures up to 3 times, auto-fix/push branch-related issues when appropriate, and report fresh review feedback. Use when the user asks Codex to monitor a PR, watch CI, handle review comments, or keep an eye on failures and feedback on an open PR.
