c-interop

c-interop is a skill for Claude Code from vinnie357/claude-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (245 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to connecting Zig programs with C code and libraries. It explains importing C headers, exporting Zig functions, matching C and Zig types, translating C code, and linking libraries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work with @cImport, translate-c, C-compatible types, exported functions, and linked C libraries.
Why use it?
It helps when a Zig project must use existing C code or expose functions to software written in C.

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

c-interop 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 2mo 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

Zig C Interop

Importing C libraries, exporting Zig to C, type mappings, and translate-c.

For type mappings, linking patterns, and string interop examples, see references/c-interop.md.

Anti-fabrication

This skill follows core:anti-fabrication. Verified against zig 0.16.0 (locally installed, claude-skills-204): references/c-interop.md's type mappings and linking snippets compile as documented — no corrections needed here. A related claim, that @cImport emits a deprecation warning, was found wrong and corrected, but that claim lived in the troubleshooting skill's compiler-error catalog, not in this file. Re-verify against a locally installed zig build-exe with a real C header before asserting a type mapping this skill doesn't cover — Zig is pre-1.0 and translate-c behavior has changed across minor releases.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
