Is this based on official C++ standards?

Yes, all guidance is derived directly from the official isocpp.github.io C++ Core Guidelines maintained by Bjarne Stroustrup and Herb Sutter.

Does this skill support the latest C++ versions?

Yes, it specifically covers modern C++ standards including C++17, C++20, and C++23, focusing on features like constexpr, structured bindings, and concepts.

Can it help me convert raw pointers to smart pointers?

Absolutely. The skill applies resource management guidelines (R.11 and R.20) to identify non-owning raw pointers and transition owning pointers to std::unique_ptr or std::shared_ptr.

How does this improve code safety?

By enforcing RAII, type safety, and const-correctness, it eliminates common sources of memory leaks, buffer overflows, and undefined behavior at compile-time.

Security & Testing

Enforces modern C++ best practices and coding standards based on the C++ Core Guidelines for safe, idiomatic, and high-performance code.

This skill integrates the official C++ Core Guidelines into Claude's workflow, enabling the automated enforcement of modern C++ (C++17/20/23) practices. It provides comprehensive guidance on resource management (RAII), type safety, interface design, and error handling. It is essential for conducting code reviews, refactoring legacy codebases to use smart pointers, or ensuring that new features adhere to industry-standard safety and performance patterns, ultimately reducing memory leaks and undefined behavior.
