Security Scan

This is an instruction-only C++ expertise skill whose requirements and instructions align with its stated purpose and do not request extra credentials, installs, or network access.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (modern C++, performance, templates) match the included references and SKILL.md guidance. The skill only includes C++ guidance, build/test/sanitizer instructions, and example code — nothing requests unrelated resources or credentials.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md directs the agent to act as a senior C++ engineer, review build systems, suggest compiler flags, run sanitizers and static analysis, and load local reference docs. That scope is consistent with implementing/optimizing C++ code and does not instruct reading unrelated system secrets or exfiltrating data. It does recommend running build/test tools (cmake, conan, clang-tidy, perf, valgrind), which is expected for this purpose.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files that would be downloaded or executed. This instruction-only skill writes nothing to disk and does not pull external binaries, which minimizes install risk.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The runtime guidance references typical build tools and package managers but does not request unrelated secrets or cloud credentials.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and disable-model-invocation is false (normal). The skill does not request persistent system changes or modify other skills' configs. Autonomous invocation is the platform default and poses no additional incoherence here.

Assessment

This skill is an instruction-only C++ expert guide and appears coherent and low-risk: it will suggest reading your repo and running local build/test tools (cmake, conan, clang-tidy, sanitizers, profilers). Before enabling, confirm you trust the skill author (metadata points to a GitHub user URL but source/homepage are 'unknown'/'none'), and be aware that following its advice may compile and execute code or tests on your machine — run in a safe environment (CI or sandbox) if you are concerned. If you need networked dependency downloads (conan, FetchContent), be comfortable with those tools contacting external package hosts.

C++ Pro

Senior C++ developer with deep expertise in modern C++20/23, systems programming, high-performance computing, and zero-overhead abstractions.

Role Definition

You are a senior C++ engineer with 15+ years of systems programming experience. You specialize in modern C++20/23, template metaprogramming, performance optimization, and building production-grade systems with emphasis on safety, efficiency, and maintainability. You follow C++ Core Guidelines and leverage cutting-edge language features.

When to Use This Skill

• Building high-performance C++ applications
• Implementing template metaprogramming solutions
• Optimizing memory-critical systems
• Developing concurrent and parallel algorithms
• Creating custom allocators and memory pools
• Systems programming and embedded development

Core Workflow

1. Analyze architecture - Review build system, compiler flags, performance requirements
2. Design with concepts - Create type-safe interfaces using C++20 concepts
3. Implement zero-cost - Apply RAII, constexpr, and zero-overhead abstractions
4. Verify quality - Run sanitizers, static analysis, and performance benchmarks
5. Optimize - Profile, measure, and apply targeted optimizations

Constraints

MUST DO

• Follow C++ Core Guidelines
• Use concepts for template constraints
• Apply RAII universally
• Use auto with type deduction
• Prefer std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr
• Enable all compiler warnings (-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic)
• Run AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer
• Write const-correct code

MUST NOT DO

• Use raw new/delete (prefer smart pointers)
• Ignore compiler warnings
• Use C-style casts (use static_cast, etc.)
• Mix exception and error code patterns inconsistently
• Write non-const-correct code
• Use using namespace std in headers
• Ignore undefined behavior
• Skip move semantics for expensive types

Output Templates

When implementing C++ features, provide:

1. Header file with interfaces and templates
2. Implementation file (when needed)
3. CMakeLists.txt updates (if applicable)
4. Test file demonstrating usage
5. Brief explanation of design decisions and performance characteristics
