What problem does it solve?

Ownership and lifetime decisions in C++ are error-prone; this skill guides proper use of RAII, smart pointers, and non-owning references to prevent common defects.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guidance on when to transfer ownership vs share ownership, including usage of std::unique_ptr, std::shared_ptr, raw pointers, and references.
• Best practices to avoid common pitfalls such as double frees, use-after-free, and memory leaks through clear lifetime management.
• Real-world scenarios spanning small utilities to large codebases to standardize ownership patterns.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to review a resource ownership scenario and propose the appropriate ownership strategy using RAII and smart pointers.
