What it does

Ss Cpp Modern is an agent skill from Serial-Studio/Serial-Studio. Modern C++20 authoring guidance for Serial Studio (Qt 6.11, C++20): concepts, ranges, move/RAII, std smart pointers, constexpr, lock-free SPSC atomics. Use when writing or refactoring non-trivial C++ here and you want the idiomatic modern-C++ shape — picking a smart pointer, designing an RAII wrapper, a concept-constrained template, or a hotpath data structure. Defers all style/build/sanitize/test rules to CLAUDE.md, scripts/, and the ss-hotpath / ss-verify / qt-cpp-review skills — it does NOT build, sanitize, or…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cpp20-idioms.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Refactoring and Agent instruction files. It works with C++ and Lua. The repository describes itself as: Open-source telemetry dashboard. Supports UART, BLE, MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus and more.

When your agent uses it

  • Refactoring non-trivial C++ here and you want the idiomatic modern-C++ shape — picking a smart pointer
  • Designing an RAII wrapper
  • A concept-constrained template
  • A hotpath data structure

Example prompts

  • “/ss-cpp-modern”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 34c87a4. 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

Ss Cpp Modern loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 752 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~137
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.8k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 752 words (~1,625 tokens).

“Adapted from jeffallan's cpp-pro skill, trimmed to what this repo actually uses and realigned to its rules. This is authoring guidance — the idiomatic C++20 shape of a thing. It does not own style, build, or verification:”
