cpp-build

cpp-build is a command for coding agents from loulanyue/awesome-claude-notes. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,107 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cpp-build, MIT.

A C++ build-fixing command that diagnoses compiler, CMake, dependency, template, and linker errors and addresses them one at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a CMake project will not configure, compile, or link, including after pulled changes introduce errors.
Why use it?
It turns a large or confusing build failure into smaller fixes, checking the build again after each change.

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 — 11 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.
