What problem does it solve?
This Skill gives C and C++ work a consistent set of style, safety, and tooling rules so code reviews, refactors, and new implementations stay aligned across a project.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Style Guidance: Follows the Google C++ Style Guide for naming, layout, and code structure.
- Modern C++ Practices: Encourages C++20 or newer patterns, explicit const usage, smart pointers, and RAII-based design.
- Tooling Expectations: Reinforces use of clang-format, clang-tidy, CMake, GoogleTest, and Catch2 for maintainable development workflows.
- Use Case: Use it when drafting a new library, reviewing a pull request, or cleaning up legacy code that needs safer memory handling and stricter compiler settings.
Quick Start
Apply the lang-cpp skill to review or write C++ code so it follows the configured style, memory-safety, and build-tooling standards.
