Install target

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 nmboyd/claude_setup at 71caabe640.

    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 provides access to C++ development guidelines. It can be used to generate code snippets adhering to best practices, review existing C++ code for compliance with established standards, and explain specific coding conventions within the C++ language. The tool aims to improve code quality and maintainability by enforcing consistent style and structure.

When to use it

  • Code Generation: Generate new C++ code that adheres to industry-standard guidelines.
  • Code Review: Analyze existing C++ codebases for adherence to coding standards.
  • Learning & Explanation: Understand specific C++ development conventions or best practices.
  • Refactoring Assistance: Identify areas in a codebase where refactoring is needed to align with established style guides.

Key capabilities

  • C++ Coding Standards Enforcement
  • Code Generation based on Guidelines
  • Code Review and Analysis
  • Explanation of C++ Conventions

Example prompts

  • "Generate a function that calculates the factorial of a number, following modern C++ guidelines."
  • "Review this C++ code snippet for potential style violations: [code snippet]."
  • "Explain the purpose of RAII in C++ development."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear and specific prompts. While it covers general C++ guidelines, it may not be familiar with project-specific or company-internal coding standards.
