Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill reviews C++ code against the C++ Core Guidelines, a set of rules designed to improve code safety and correctness. It identifies potential violations of these guidelines, helping developers write more robust and maintainable C++ applications. The review focuses on common pitfalls and best practices for modern C++.
When to use it
- Reviewing new C++ code to ensure adherence to the Core Guidelines from the start.
- Analyzing existing C++ codebases to identify areas for improvement in safety and correctness.
- Educating developers about the principles of the C++ Core Guidelines through practical examples.
- Automating parts of a C++ code review process, freeing up human reviewers for more complex issues.
Key capabilities
- C++ Core Guideline violation detection
- Code analysis based on modern C++ practices
- Identification of potential safety and correctness issues
- Reviewing existing C++ codebases
Example prompts
- "Review this C++ code snippet against the Core Guidelines: [paste code]"
- "Can you identify any violations of the C++ Core Guidelines in this file? [file path]"
- "Explain how this code could be improved to better align with the C++ Core Guidelines."
Tips & gotchas
The skill's effectiveness depends on the quality and complexity of the C++ code being reviewed. While it can identify many common issues, a thorough manual review is still recommended for critical projects.
