cargo-wizard is a Cargo subcommand that applies predefined profile and config templates to Rust projects to optimize for fast compilation, maximum runtime performance, or minimal binary size. It offers both an interactive wizard and a non-interactive mode for applying templates like fast-compile, fast-runtime, and min-size.

Use cases

• configure cargo project for fastest compile times
• minimize rust binary size
• maximize rust runtime performance with LTO
• apply cargo profile templates automatically
• set up faster linker and cranelift backend
• optimize cargo.toml build settings without reading perf book

When to choose

• you want to quickly tune Cargo build profiles for compile speed, runtime, or size
• you're tired of hunting through blog posts and perf books for build config advice
• you want an interactive or scriptable way to modify Cargo.toml and .cargo/config.toml

When to avoid

• you need fine-grained custom build configuration beyond the provided templates
• your project doesn't use Cargo (non-Rust projects)
• you need CI-level build pipeline configuration rather than Cargo profile settings
