+This module provides reusable Bazel macros for formatting **Starlark**, **Python**, **YAML**, and **Rust** files using [`aspect-build/rules_lint`](https://github.com/aspect-build/rules_lint) and `buildifier`. By default Rust formatting uses the `@rules_rust//tools/upstream_wrapper:rustfmt` binary.

 ## Features
 
-- ✅ Supports Python (`ruff`), YAML (`yamlfmt`) and Starlark (`buildifier`)
+- ✅ Supports Python (`ruff`), YAML (`yamlfmt`), Starlark (`buildifier`) and Rust (via `@rules_rust` upstream wrapper by default)
 - ✅ Provides `format.fix` and `format.check` targets
 - ✅ Simple macro-based usage for local formatting scope
 - ✅ Centralized logic without Bazel module extensions
