SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill establishes and manages a dependable C++ build, Git, and Continuous Integration (CI) workflow, ensuring predictable project delivery and release processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local Workflow: Defines canonical build targets (release, debug, test, etc.) and ensures reproducible environments.
  • Git Workflow: Enforces branching strategies, atomic commits, CI checks before merging, semantic version tagging, and changelog synchronization.
  • CI Pipeline Design: Creates build matrices for multi-platform support, separates job types, caches dependencies, and uses least-privilege tokens.
  • Release & Compatibility: Automates release pipelines from tags, verifies artifacts, and tracks compatibility with upstream versions.

Quick Start

Use the cpp-ci-workflow skill to set up a new C++ project's build and CI pipeline.

FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to set up a C++ CI pipeline with GitHub Actions and CMake?

A C++ CI pipeline setup defines canonical build targets and creates a multi-platform build matrix in GitHub Actions. It separates job types, caches dependencies, and enforces CI checks before merging to ensure reproducible builds.

How do I automate semantic version tagging and changelog synchronization for C++ release workflows?

Automating semantic version tagging for C++ releases enforces branching strategies and atomic commits. It synchronizes changelog updates and automates release pipelines directly from Git tags to verify generated artifacts.

Can I use this workflow to enforce Git branching strategies and PR policies for C++ projects?

Yes, this workflow enforces Git branching strategies and PR policies for C++ projects. It requires CI checks to pass before merging, ensuring atomic commits and predictable project delivery through structured branch management.

Does the C++ build workflow support multi-platform CI pipelines and dependency caching?

The C++ build workflow supports multi-platform CI pipelines by creating build matrices across operating systems. It separates job types and caches dependencies using least-privilege tokens to optimize pipeline execution and security.

How do I configure canonical CMake build targets for debug, release, and testing environments?

Configuring canonical CMake build targets defines reproducible environments for debug, release, and testing. It establishes standard build configurations within the local developer workflow to ensure consistent project compilation and execution.
