What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you avoid memory errors like use-after-free, double-free, leaks, buffer overflows, and data races by showing safe, repeatable ownership and resource-management patterns across C, C++, and Rust.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Cross-language safety patterns: Practical guidance for RAII and smart pointers in C++, ownership and borrowing in Rust, and cleanup patterns in C.
• Bug-category prevention: Maps common memory bug types to the prevention technique that should stop them.
• Debugging readiness: Includes tooling suggestions (sanitizers, Valgrind, Miri, and ThreadSanitizer) to validate that safety fixes work.

Quick Start

Ask an AI to review your proposed design for file/socket/resource lifetimes in C, C++, or Rust and rewrite it using RAII, ownership/borrowing, and bounds-checked access patterns.
