Summary

  • strengthen the usage-rs landing-page pitch around its own capabilities
  • keep clap-specific compatibility details in the migration guide
  • remove redundant parser, dispatch, and compatibility-policy prose

Testing

  • npm run docs:build

This pull request was generated by Codex.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only edits to the Rust framework pages; no runtime, API, or security behavior changes.

Overview
Marks the Rust framework docs as reviewed by dropping Draft banners across those pages, and rewrites the landing page around usage-rs itself: typed CLIs, env/config, completions, and mise-scale speed/size versus clap.

Moves clap-specific attribute mapping into the migration guide (including a Familiar field attributes table) and describes native #[usage(...)] behavior on the args page without clap framing. Trims overlapping parser-overhead, dispatch-spec, and experimental compatibility-policy prose.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Rust documentation now presents native usage attributes, documents clap migration mappings, updates the usage-rs overview, and removes an obsolete dispatch specification section.

Changes

Rust documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native argument and flag documentation
docs/rust/args-and-flags.md
The guide now uses native usage terminology and documents cardinality, defaults, token handling, relations, and global flags.
Clap migration guidance
docs/rust/migrating-from-clap.md
The guide adds supported clap attribute mappings and removes the compatibility policy section.
Framework overview and dispatch documentation
docs/rust/index.md, docs/rust/dispatch.md
The overview now describes usage-rs, performance, binary size, and generated artifacts. The dispatch page removes its final specification note.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 10dd3

The documentation changes are mergeable with owner follow-up: the overview should state that config-file resolution and runtime completions are opt-in, and the migration table should qualify partial or unsupported clap compatibility so readers do not assume lossless behavior.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with docs in my paws,
Native flags now follow clear laws.
Clap paths map with care,
usage-rs shines there,
And old dispatch notes hop out of the drawers.

`usage-rs` is a fast, typed framework for building complete command-line applications in Rust.
Declare commands, flags, arguments, and settings with familiar structs and enums, and get
first-class environment and config-file resolution, advanced shell completions, portable
validation, negation flags, typed argument groups, categorized subcommands, and more.

Identify the opt-in features in the overview.

The default installation in Lines 58-63 does not enable config or completions. The feature table also marks both features as non-default. State that config-file resolution and runtime shell completions require their respective features.

Only instruction counts gate. Wall clock is shown for context — on identical hardware it moves 4-20% run to run.

Shadow comparison

Parsing mise use -g node@20 against a shadow of mise's committed spec.
Reported, not gated: the shadow grows as the derive learns to express more, so
what to watch is the ratio rather than either column.
