Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned mindrally/skills at 7682ca7771.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables an AI agent to generate C++ code snippets based on natural language descriptions, adhering to modern C++ development guidelines and best practices. It leverages expertise in C++17/20 standards, memory management techniques (smart pointers, RAII), and performance optimization principles. The generated code will follow specific naming conventions and prioritize safety and security.

When to use it

  • Generating boilerplate code for new C++ projects or modules.
  • Prototyping algorithms or data structures in C++.
  • Creating small utility functions based on a textual description of their purpose.
  • Illustrating the usage of specific C++17/20 features like std::optional or ranges.
  • Generating code snippets that demonstrate best practices for memory management and error handling.

Key capabilities

  • Generates C++ code adhering to C++17/20 standards.
  • Implements modern coding style guidelines (PascalCase, camelCase, SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE).
  • Utilizes smart pointers (unique_ptr, shared_ptr, weak_ptr) for memory management.
  • Employs RAII principles for resource acquisition and initialization.
  • Demonstrates the use of C++17 features (structured bindings, std::optional, std::variant).
  • Showcases C++20 features (concepts, ranges, std::span, coroutines).
  • Implements error handling using exceptions and custom exception types.

Example prompts

  • "Write a function that calculates the factorial of a number using recursion."
  • "Create a class representing a simple linked list in C++ with methods for insertion and deletion."
  • "Generate code to demonstrate the use of std::variant for a type-safe union."
  • “Show me how to implement a thread pool using std::jthread.”

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill is designed for generating snippets, not complete, complex applications.
  • While it follows best practices, always review and test the generated code thoroughly.
  • Specify which C++ standard (e.g., C++17 or C++20) if you have a preference.
