RivetKit Rust Client

Use this skill when building Rust clients that connect to Rivet Actors with rivetkit::client.

Version

RivetKit version: {{RIVETKIT_VERSION}}

First Steps

1. Add the dependency
   shCopy

   cargo add rivetkit anyhow async-trait
   cargo add serde --features derive
   cargo add tokio --features full
   

2. Create a client with Client::new(ClientConfig::new(endpoint)) and call typed actions with get_or_create_typed_default::<A>(...).

Error Handling Policy

• Prefer fail-fast behavior by default. Propagate anyhow::Result with ?.
• Avoid swallowing errors with broad match arms unless absolutely needed.
• If an error is handled inline, handle it explicitly, at minimum by logging it.

Need More Than the Client?

If you need more about Rivet Actors, registries, or server-side RivetKit, add the main skill:

Then use the rivetkit skill for backend guidance.
