How does this improve Claude's standard C++ output?

It steers the AI away from 'C with classes' and legacy pointer arithmetic toward modern, idiomatic C++ that is safer, more expressive, and more efficient.

Is it suitable for game development?

Yes, it is specifically optimized for performance-sensitive domains including game engines, graphics, and real-time systems programming.

Can it help with memory leak prevention?

Absolutely. The skill prioritizes the RAII pattern and the correct use of unique_ptr, shared_ptr, and weak_ptr to ensure safe and automatic resource management.

Does this skill support the latest C++ standards?

Yes, it covers Modern C++ patterns and idioms ranging from C++11 up to C++23, including advanced features like Concepts and Fold Expressions.

Developer Tools

Implements high-performance C++ solutions using modern idioms, memory-safe patterns, and advanced template metaprogramming.

About

The C++ skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge of Modern C++ standards (C++11 through C++23), focusing on performance-critical systems, resource management, and robust implementation patterns. It enables the AI to generate production-ready code utilizing RAII for resource safety, move semantics for efficiency, and the Standard Template Library (STL) for optimal data handling. This skill is essential for developers working on systems programming, game engines, embedded devices, and performance-sensitive applications where memory safety and execution speed are paramount.
