Enforces consistent C++ coding conventions and architectural patterns for high-quality, maintainable codebases.
The C++ Coding Standards skill provides Claude with comprehensive guidance for writing and refactoring C++ code according to modern best practices. It covers a wide range of domain-specific requirements including clang-format and clang-tidy integration, the 'almost-always-auto' pattern, and 'West const' style. Beyond simple formatting, the skill ensures rigorous class organization using the Rule of Zero/Five, standardized template metaprogramming naming, and specific Doxygen documentation patterns. It is an essential tool for developers looking to maintain consistency across .cpp and .hpp files while ensuring modern performance standards like noexcept move operations and explicit constructor declarations.
