xmake-templates

xmake-templates is a skill for Claude Code from xmake-io/xmake-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,972 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A starter project directory containing an xmake.lua file and source files. Xmake, a Lua-based build tool, copies a selected template and replaces placeholders such as the project name.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list available templates, create C, C++, Rust or other supported projects, start console applications or create static, shared and module targets.
Why use it?
It avoids assembling the initial folders and build script by hand. You can also list templates from Xmake, user folders or third-party repositories before choosing one.

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

xmake-templates 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 12d 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.

Xmake Templates

A template is a directory tree with an xmake.lua and some starter source files. xmake create copies it into a new project directory, substituting a few placeholders. Templates come from three places, searched in this order:

  1. xmake-repo templates — third-party, under any registered global repo (xmake repo --list), e.g. packages/templates from xmake-repo.
  2. User-global templates~/.xmake/templates/.
  3. Built-in templates — shipped with xmake under $(programdir)/repository/templates/.

1. Listing templates

xmake create --list                # all languages, all sources
xmake create --list -l c++         # only C++ templates

Output groups templates by source (repo / global / builtin) and by language, so you can see which names are available for -t.

2. Creating a project from a template

xmake create hello                            # default: c++ console
xmake create -l c        hello                # C, default "console" template
xmake create -l c++ -t console    myapp
xmake create -l c++ -t static     mylib
xmake create -l c++ -t shared     mydyn
xmake create -l c   -t module     mymod
xmake create -l rust hello
xmake create -l go   -t console hello

Flags:

  • -l, --language — language (c, c++, rust, go, swift, objc, cuda, dlang, fortran, kotlin, nim, pascal, vala, zig, csharp).
  • -t, --template — template id inside that language.
  • -P <dir> — create into a specific directory instead of the current one.
  • The positional arg is the target name (defaults to the directory basename or demo).

Third-party templates from xmake-repo

Qt, SDL, Python bindings, Linux drivers, raylib, verilator, wxWidgets, etc. are shipped in xmake-repo/templates/. They live under nested template ids using . as separator:

xmake create -l c++ -t qt.widgetapp myqtapp
xmake create -l c++ -t qt.quickapp  myquick
xmake create -l c++ -t wxwidgets    mywx
xmake create -l c++ -t python.pybind11 mybind
xmake create -l c   -t sdl          mysdl
xmake create -l c   -t raylib       mygame
xmake create -l c   -t linux.driver mydriver

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.

xmake-templates is a skill published in the GitHub repository xmake-io/xmake-skills (24 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,972 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
