What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps C/C++ developers drastically reduce compilation times by identifying and removing unnecessary header includes, thereby optimizing build performance and code maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze Header Dependencies: Identifies which headers are actually needed and which are not.
  • Automate Fixes: Provides tools to automatically remove unused includes and suggest optimal ones.
  • Integrate with Build Systems: Offers guidance on integrating with CMake for continuous analysis.
  • Use Case: A large C++ project takes hours to compile. This Skill can be used to analyze the include structure, identify redundant includes, and apply fixes, potentially reducing compile times by a significant margin.

Quick Start

Use the include-what-you-use skill to analyze the header includes in main.cpp and suggest optimizations.
