Taming slow Rust builds in coding agents with three Agents.md rules
lxfater · x · 2026-08-29
lxfater shares a fellow user's tips for coding agents working with slow Rust (sol) builds, via three Agents.md rules: instruct the agent not to compile unless explicitly asked; have it carefully log build pitfalls into Agents.md after the first slow compile so later ones are faster; and skip expensive checks like cargo test after code edits.
