Cpp Pro

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Refactoring C++ code requiring concepts
• SIMD optimization
• Careful memory management —
• Addressing performance bottlenecks

Example prompts

• “/cpp-pro”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Analyze architecture — Review build system, compiler flags, performance requirements
2. 2Design with concepts — Create type-safe interfaces using C++20 concepts
3. 3Implement zero-cost — Apply RAII, constexpr, and zero-overhead abstractions
4. 4Verify quality — Run sanitizers and static analysis; if AddressSanitizer or UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer report issues, fix all memory and…
5. 5Benchmark — Profile with real workloads; if performance targets are not met, apply targeted optimizations (SIMD, cache layout, move…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3cdd0ee. 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 Pro loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 278 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~98

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.1k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~12k

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

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.

name

cpp-pro

description

Writes, optimizes, and debugs C++ applications using modern C++20/23 features, template metaprogramming, and high-performance systems techniques. Use when building or refactoring C++ code requiring concepts, ranges, coroutines, SIMD optimization, or careful memory management — or when addressing performance bottlenecks, concurrency issues, and build system configuration with CMake.
