cargo-path is a command-line utility that prints the path to a local Rust
dependency.
It is invoked as cargo path <DEPENDENCY>. For example:
$ cargo path clap
/Users/home/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f/clap-4.6.1
When combined with the appropriate exhortation it is extremely helpful for
Rust development with coding agents.
With cargo-path, agents will immediately consult local sources for
dependencies, which are guaranteed to be up-to-date for the correct version.
Without cargo-path, agents tend to search the web for dependency
documentation, which is slow and often turns up out-of-date information.
AGENTS.md Snippet
Always consult the local source code for information about Rust dependencies,
which is guaranteed to be up-to-date for the correct version.
Run cargo path NAME to find the source directory for a dependency:
$ cargo path clap
/Users/home/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f/clap-4.6.1
