What it does

Cpp Header Template is an agent skill from ClickHouse/pg_stat_ch. Generate C++ header files following Google Style Guide. Use when creating new header files or asking for a header template.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content. It works with C++, ClickHouse and PostgreSQL. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10be897. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are cpp).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cpp Header Template loads about 772 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 98 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~772

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
