cpp-build

cpp-build is a command for coding agents from Fmarzochi/EGC. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,057 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cpp-build, Apache-2.0.

A C++ build troubleshooting command for CMake configuration errors, compiler failures, linker errors, and dependency or include problems. It diagnoses issues incrementally and checks the build again after each small fix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a CMake project will not compile, linking fails, templates produce errors, includes are missing, or a pulled change breaks the build.
Why use it?
It turns a large or confusing build failure into a sequence of smaller problems that can be verified as they are addressed. It also reports what remains unresolved.

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-build 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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to cpp-build — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

C++ Build and Fix

This command invokes the cpp-build-resolver agent to incrementally fix C++ build errors with minimal changes.

What This Command Does

  1. Run Diagnostics: Execute cmake --build, clang-tidy, cppcheck
  2. Parse Errors: Group by file and sort by severity
  3. Fix Incrementally: One error at a time
  4. Verify Each Fix: Re-run build after each change
  5. Report Summary: Show what was fixed and what remains

When to Use

Use /cpp-build when:

  • cmake --build build fails with errors
  • Linker errors (undefined references, multiple definitions)
  • Template instantiation failures
  • Include/dependency issues
  • After pulling changes that break the build

Diagnostic Commands Run

# CMake configure
cmake -B build -S .

# Build
cmake --build build 2>&1 | head -100

# Static analysis (if available)
clang-tidy src/*.cpp -- -std=c++17
cppcheck --enable=all src/

Example Session

User: /cpp-build

Agent:
# C++ Build Resolution

## Initial Diagnostics

```bash
$ cmake --build build
src/service/user.cpp:25:15: error: use of undeclared identifier 'UserRepository'
src/handler/api.cpp:42:9: error: no matching function for call to 'process'
src/handler/api.cpp:58:1: error: non-void function does not return a value

Errors found: 3

Fix 1: Undeclared Identifier

File: src/service/user.cpp:25 Error: use of undeclared identifier 'UserRepository' Cause: Missing include

// Added include
#include "repository/user_repository.hpp"
$ cmake --build build
# 2 errors remaining

Fix 2: No Matching Function

File: src/handler/api.cpp:42 Error: no matching function for call to 'process'

// Changed
process(params.get("count"));
// To
process(std::stoi(params.get("count")));
$ cmake --build build
# 1 error remaining

Fix 3: Missing Return

File: src/handler/api.cpp:58 Error: non-void function does not return a value

std::optional<User> getUser(const std::string& id) {
    if (id.empty()) {
        return std::nullopt;
    }
    auto user = findUser(id);
    // Added missing return
    return user;
}
$ cmake --build build

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.
