Update the pinned stable and nightly Rust toolchain versions used by the repository

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Run eng/scripts/Update-Rust.ps1 to update the pinned Rust toolchain versions.

    line 6
  2. Distinctive:

    Update both channels automatically:

    line 21
  3. Distinctive:

    Update to a specific stable version with auto-detected nightly:

    line 27
  4. Distinctive:

    Update both channels explicitly:

    line 33

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

SKILL.md

Run eng/scripts/Update-Rust.ps1 to update the pinned Rust toolchain versions.

What the script does

  • Fetches the latest stable Rust version from GitHub (if -Version not specified)
  • Detects a working nightly toolchain date from rustc --version (if -NightlyVersion not specified), advancing day-by-day until rustup can install it
  • Updates rust-toolchain.toml, eng/scripts/Language-Settings.ps1, and eng/scripts/*.rs shebang lines

Parameters

  • -Version — stable channel version (e.g., "1.96.0"); omit to auto-detect from GitHub
  • -NightlyVersion — nightly date (e.g., "2026-05-01" or "nightly-2026-05-01"); omit to auto-detect from rustc --version

Examples

Update both channels automatically:

eng/scripts/Update-Rust.ps1

Update to a specific stable version with auto-detected nightly:

eng/scripts/Update-Rust.ps1 -Version 1.96.0

Update both channels explicitly:

eng/scripts/Update-Rust.ps1 -Version 1.96.0 -NightlyVersion 2026-05-01

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
