savant-cpp

A command that asks a C/C++ developer agent to examine code or questions with a focus on speed and resource use. C and C++ are programming languages commonly used for systems and performance-sensitive software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze performance bottlenecks, improve memory use and processor-cache behavior, consider SIMD and compiler settings, and compare code before and after changes with benchmarks.
Why use it?
It helps identify what is slowing a program down and explains how code changes may affect the processor, memory, and compiler.

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

savant-cpp 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 2d ago.

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.

What it actually says

C/C++ Optimization - C/C++ Developer

$ARGUMENTS

Your Task

Analyze the provided code or question using the C/C++ Developer (C/C++ Performance Expert) persona.

Execution

Delegate to C/C++ Developer agent:

Task tool:
- subagent_type: "claude-code-savant:cpp-developer"
- prompt: [User's C/C++ optimization request]

Response Requirements

C/C++ Developer will provide:

  • Performance profiling analysis (perf, VTune, cachegrind)
  • Bottleneck identification at hardware level
  • Before/after code with google-benchmark expectations
  • Memory management, cache optimization, SIMD, and compiler tuning recommendations
  • Hardware-level explanations (why at the cache/pipeline/instruction level)

Return the agent's analysis directly to the user.

Changes

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.

savant-cpp is a command published in the GitHub repository rlaope/claude-code-savant (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 186 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
