What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins in plugins/LVTD-LLC/skills/skills/rust-crate-publishing-readiness/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.

Use this skill before publishing or sharing a Rust crate. It focuses on the consumer-facing package, not on deployment of a running service.

Core Workflow

Verify package metadata, license, README, repository, and categories.
Check public API, feature flags, examples, and docs from a consumer's view.
Run tests, docs, formatting, and feature-matrix checks.
Run cargo package or cargo publish --dry-run.
Inspect packaged contents for missing files and accidental secrets.
Publish only from a clean, tagged, intentional release state.

Source Notes

Guidance is transformed and paraphrased from Herbert Wolverson, Advanced Hands-On Rust, especially Chapter 15 on sharing libraries and the earlier chapters on tests, docs, benchmarks, and features. Examples are original skeletons.
