Rust Template

Opinionated template for multi-crate Rust workspaces, with:

• Configurations for VS Code, Claude Code, clippy, rustfmt, EditorConfig, markdownlint, and taplo.
• just recipes
• GitHub workflows with CodeQL and Zizmor audits
• Documentation built with mdBook with LaTeX and Mermaid graph support, published to GitHub pages via CI

Prerequisites

Software

The following software is expected to be installed and available in PATH:

• rustup – Rust toolchain manager. Only the stable toolchain is used.
• just – Command runner. See the justfile for available recipes.
• taplo – TOML formatter. Configured by taplo.toml.
• markdownlint-cli2 – Markdown linter. Configured by .markdownlint.json.
• npx – Node.js package runner, bundled with npm. Used to run Prettier, the Markdown formatter, without a global install.
• jq – JSON processor. Used by the lint-without-features recipe in the justfile.

VSCode extensions

• rust-analyzer – Rust language support.
• Even Better TOML – TOML language support. Uses taplo.toml for formatter settings; reload the VSCode window after changing it.
• EditorConfig for VS Code – Applies the rules in .editorconfig.
• markdownlint – Inline Markdown linting. Uses .markdownlint.json.
• Dependi – Dependency management. Shows whether the versions in Cargo.toml are up-to-date.
• Error Lens – Shows diagnostics inline, next to the offending code.
• Markdown All in One – Markdown authoring aids: keyboard shortcuts, table of contents, list editing.
• Todo Tree – Collects TODO and FIXME comments into a tree view.
• vscode-just – justfile syntax highlighting.
• YAML – YAML language support, with schema validation.
