Install Cpp

skills CLI
$ npx skills add margelo/react-native-skills --skill cpp -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install margelo/react-native-skills cpp --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/margelo/react-native-skills.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/skills/cpp .claude/skills/cpp && rm -rf skills-src

What it does

Cpp is an agent skill from margelo/react-native-skills. Design, implement, and review modern C++ APIs and native implementation code. Use when working on .cpp, .hpp, CMake, RAII ownership, std::variant, callbacks, async work, platform bridges, or C++-backed React Native Nitro Module implementations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with C++ and React Native. The repository describes itself as: The best react-native Agent Skills. Forget 10x, this is 100x.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on .cpp
  • Platform bridges
  • C++-backed React Native Nitro Module implementations

Example prompts

  • “/cpp”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the generated headers, public API shape, and local ownership patterns before editing.
  2. Model valid states with types before implementing behavior.
  3. Keep headers small and stable; push implementation details into .cpp files.
  4. Split helpers by responsibility instead of growing a primary implementation file.
  5. Make ownership, lifetime, threading, and async boundaries explicit.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e9e17b. 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.

    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 loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 803 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 803 words (~1,523 tokens).

“Use this skill for C++ code that needs clear ownership, strong type modeling, maintainable file boundaries, and predictable native integration. When the code is part of a Nitro Module, pair this with build-nitro-modules for generated specs, Promise mapping, CMake, and…”
