SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

C++ developers often struggle with inconsistent, unsafe, or outdated coding practices that lead to memory leaks, type errors, hard-to-maintain code, and subtle runtime bugs, especially when working in teams or on legacy codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Standard Coverage: Enforces the full C++ Core Guidelines for C++17/20/23, covering RAII, immutability, type safety, error handling, concurrency, templates, and standard library usage.
  • Actionable Guidance: Includes clear do/don't examples, anti-pattern warnings, and a quick reference checklist for common C++ development tasks.
  • Use Case: A senior engineer reviewing a junior developer's pull request can use this skill to identify violations of smart pointer ownership rules, missing const-correctness, or unsafe concurrency patterns, and provide specific, standardized feedback.

Quick Start

Use the cpp-coding-standards skill to review your recent C++ class implementation for compliance with RAII and const-correctness rules.

Frequently Asked Questions about cpp-coding-standards

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce modern C++ coding standards during a code review?▼

Enforce modern C++ coding standards by checking pull requests against the C++ Core Guidelines, identifying violations in smart pointer ownership, const-correctness, and RAII to provide standardized, actionable feedback.

What is RAII and how does it prevent memory leaks in C++17/20/23?▼

RAII, or Resource Acquisition Is Initialization, prevents memory leaks by binding resource lifetimes to object lifetimes, ensuring deterministic cleanup. The skill enforces RAII compliance across C++17, C++20, and C++23 projects.

How do I refactor legacy C++ code to improve type safety and immutability?▼

Refactor legacy C++ code by applying enforced rules for type safety and immutability, replacing unsafe patterns with standard library usage and const-correctness to eliminate maintenance debt and subtle runtime bugs.

Does this approach work for checking concurrency safety in modern C++ templates?▼

Yes, this approach works for concurrency safety by enforcing the C++ Core Guidelines covering concurrent template usage, identifying unsafe patterns, and providing do/don't examples to ensure robust multithreaded C++ software.

What's the best way to eliminate type errors and maintenance debt in C++ development?▼

Eliminate type errors and maintenance debt by enforcing comprehensive C++ Core Guidelines compliance, applying anti-pattern warnings and a quick reference checklist for error handling, type safety, and standard library usage.

When do I need to apply C++ Core Guidelines for error handling and template usage?▼

Apply C++ Core Guidelines for error handling and template usage whenever authoring new code, reviewing pull requests, or making architectural decisions to ensure robust, maintainable C++ software across your team.
