cpp-lsp CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for a Claude Code plugin that adds C and C++ development support through clangd, a language server that provides code understanding tools. They document setup, important files, automated hooks, and coding conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide setup with LLVM and cppcheck, clangd configuration, hook maintenance, compile database requirements, minimal changes, and safer C++ memory management.
Why use it?
They help keep the plugin's editor integration, compilation checks, formatting, and memory checks configured consistently.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-lsp CLAUDE.md 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

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

A Claude Code plugin providing C/C++ development support through clangd LSP integration and 14 automated hooks for compilation, linting, formatting, and memory analysis.

Setup

Run /setup to install all required tools, or manually:

brew install llvm cppcheck

Key Files

File Purpose
.lsp.json clangd LSP configuration
hooks/hooks.json Automated development hooks
hooks/scripts/cpp-hooks.sh Hook dispatcher script
commands/setup.md /setup command definition
.claude-plugin/plugin.json Plugin metadata

Conventions

  • Prefer minimal diffs
  • Keep hooks fast
  • Use smart pointers over raw new/delete
  • Ensure compile_commands.json exists for proper LSP support
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.
