cpp-testing

cpp-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AeonDave/malskill. It costs 51 tokens per session (698 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A workflow for testing C++ code, including unit tests for individual parts and integration tests for parts working together. It covers GoogleTest and GoogleMock, CMake and CTest, sanitizers, flaky-test diagnosis, and coverage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or fix C++ tests and test infrastructure, connect tests to the build, investigate flaky failures, and measure correctness with sanitizers and coverage.
Why use it?
It helps you run C++ tests consistently and find memory errors, unreliable tests, and gaps in what is being checked. Sanitizers add runtime checks for common correctness problems.

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-testing 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 1mo 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 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.
