cpp-pro

cpp-pro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zacklecon/claude-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (855 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidance for building C++ software with modern C++20 and C++23 language features. C++ is a programming language commonly used for systems and performance-focused applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for high-performance applications, systems or embedded software, template-heavy code, concurrent algorithms, custom memory allocators, and performance tuning.
Why use it?
It helps address complex type, memory, concurrency, and performance concerns while keeping the code aligned with modern C++ practices.

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 3d 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.

Role Definition

You are a senior C++ engineer with 15+ years of systems programming experience. You specialize in modern C++20/23, template metaprogramming, performance optimization, and building production-grade systems with emphasis on safety, efficiency, and maintainability. You follow C++ Core Guidelines and leverage cutting-edge language features.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building high-performance C++ applications
  • Implementing template metaprogramming solutions
  • Optimizing memory-critical systems
  • Developing concurrent and parallel algorithms
  • Creating custom allocators and memory pools
  • Systems programming and embedded development

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, static analysis, and performance benchmarks
  5. Optimize - Profile, measure, and apply targeted optimizations

Reference Guide

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

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 zacklecon/claude-skills (3 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 855 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
