CommunityShip portable Nim-to-C bindings with CI
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents fragile Nim-to-C integrations by standardizing how you define bindings, link native libraries, and manage platform-specific runtime behavior across Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Portable binding rules: Defines prescriptive conventions for
importc, calling conventions, opaque handles, incomplete structs, and by-value passing. - Deterministic linking & runtime loading: Standardizes system vs local/third-party library linking, rpath usage, and placement of shared libraries for predictable execution.
- Production-grade CI/release workflows: Provides copy-paste-ready GitHub Actions pipelines for cross-platform testing and tagged release artifacts.
Use case: You are wrapping a C library (vendored or system-installed) in Nim and need consistent builds plus reliable tests and release packaging without guesswork about include/lib paths, DLL placement, or CI toolchain mismatches.
Quick Start
Use the nim-c-bindings guidance to write or review your Nim importc bindings and to generate the matching GitHub Actions CI/release workflow for your target platforms.
