What problem does it solve?

This Skill standardizes and streamlines C++ development by providing a guided set of practices for building, testing, and analyzing C++ projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Build & Compile Standards: Guidance for Make, CMake, and direct compilation with modern compilers.
• Quality & Analysis: Recommendations for static analysis and code hygiene (cppcheck, clang-tidy, and CTest).
• Use Case: When starting a new C++ project, apply these standards to configure a maintainable project skeleton with reproducible build configurations.

Quick Start

Initialize a new C++ project skeleton and verify it builds with CMake:

• mkdir -p myapp/src
• cat > myapp/src/main.cpp <<'CPP' #include <iostream> int main(){ std::cout << "Hello, world!"; return 0; } CPP
• cd myapp
• mkdir build && cd build
• cmake ..
• cmake --build .
