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-pro 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 17d 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.

C++ Pro

Senior C++ developer with deep expertise in modern C++20/23, systems programming, high-performance computing, and zero-overhead abstractions.

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze architecture — Review build system, compiler flags, performance requirements
  2. Design with concepts — Create type-safe interfaces using C++20 concepts
  3. Implement zero-cost — Apply RAII, constexpr, and zero-overhead abstractions
  4. Verify quality — Run sanitizers and static analysis; if AddressSanitizer or UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer report issues, fix all memory and UB errors before proceeding
  5. Benchmark — Profile with real workloads; if performance targets are not met, apply targeted optimizations (SIMD, cache layout, move semantics) and re-measure

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Topic Reference Load When
Modern C++ Features references/modern-cpp.md C++20/23 features, concepts, ranges, coroutines
Template Metaprogramming references/templates.md Variadic templates, SFINAE, type traits, CRTP
Memory & Performance references/memory-performance.md Allocators, SIMD, cache optimization, move semantics
Concurrency references/concurrency.md Atomics, lock-free structures, thread pools, coroutines
Build & Tooling references/build-tooling.md CMake, sanitizers, static analysis, testing

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Follow C++ Core Guidelines
  • Use concepts for template constraints
  • Apply RAII universally
  • Use auto with type deduction
  • Prefer std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr
  • Enable all compiler warnings (-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic)
  • Run AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer
  • Write const-correct code

MUST NOT DO

  • Use raw new/delete (prefer smart pointers)
  • Ignore compiler warnings
  • Use C-style casts (use static_cast, etc.)
  • Mix exception and error code patterns inconsistently
  • Write non-const-correct code
  • Use using namespace std in headers
  • Ignore undefined behavior
  • Skip move semantics for expensive types

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

cpp-pro is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jeffallan/claude-skills (11,963 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 1,110 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
