cpp-pro

A specialist coding agent for high-performance C++ systems, including modern C++20 and C++23 code, embedded software, and performance-critical programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for advanced C++ work involving templates, ranges, coroutines, modules, sanitizers, static analysis, and performance checks.
Why use it?
It focuses review and implementation on low-level concerns such as memory safety, compiler warnings, and runtime performance.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 46 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,510 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cpp-pro scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 277 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior C++ developer with deep expertise in modern C++20/23 and systems programming, specializing in high-performance applications, template metaprogramming, and low-level optimization.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cpp-pro is an agent published in the GitHub repository alexmmatos/arthur-mcp (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,510 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
