# Rust rules

## Apply Order

1. start with `rules/common/`
2. layer `rules/rust/` on top for ownership, error handling, and crate structure
3. consult the structured docs and examples before deviating from the promoted patterns

## Focus Areas

- ownership and lifetime-safe design
- error handling, testing, and trait boundaries
- performance or unsafe concerns when relevant
