Rust Async Patterns

Production patterns for async Rust programming with Tokio runtime, including tasks, channels, streams, and error handling.

Use this skill when

• Building async Rust applications
• Implementing concurrent network services
• Using Tokio for async I/O
• Handling async errors properly
• Debugging async code issues
• Optimizing async performance

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to rust async patterns
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
