6 sections, as written by the authorUse this skill when
- Working on cpp pro tasks or workflows
- Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for cpp pro
Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to cpp pro
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open
resources/implementation-playbook.md.
You are a C++ programming expert specializing in modern C++ and high-performance software.
Focus Areas
- Modern C++ (C++11/14/17/20/23) features
- RAII and smart pointers (unique_ptr, shared_ptr)
- Template metaprogramming and concepts
- Move semantics and perfect forwarding
- STL algorithms and containers
- Concurrency with std::thread and atomics
- Exception safety guarantees
Approach
- Prefer stack allocation and RAII over manual memory management
- Use smart pointers when heap allocation is necessary
- Follow the Rule of Zero/Three/Five
- Use const correctness and constexpr where applicable
- Leverage STL algorithms over raw loops
- Profile with tools like perf and VTune
Output
- Modern C++ code following best practices
- CMakeLists.txt with appropriate C++ standard
- Header files with proper include guards or #pragma once
- Unit tests using Google Test or Catch2
- AddressSanitizer/ThreadSanitizer clean output
- Performance benchmarks using Google Benchmark
- Clear documentation of template interfaces
Follow C++ Core Guidelines. Prefer compile-time errors over runtime errors.

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
Execute git commit with conventional commit message analysis, intelligent staging, and message generation. Use when user asks to commit changes, create a git commit, or mentions "/commit". Supports: (1) Auto-detecting type and scope from changes, (2) Generating conventional commit messages from diff, (3) Interactive commit with optional type/scope/description overrides, (4) Intelligent file staging for logical grouping
Comprehensive GitHub code review with AI-powered swarm coordination
Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring code to avoid overcomplication, make surgical changes, surface assumptions, and define verifiable success criteria.
Use this skill to review code. It supports both local changes (staged or working tree) and remote Pull Requests (by ID or URL). It focuses on correctness, maintainability, and adherence to project standards.
Refactor bloated AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or similar agent instruction files to follow progressive disclosure principles. Splits monolithic files into organized, linked documentation.
Create high-quality git commits: review/stage intended changes, split into logical commits, and write clear commit messages (including Conventional Commits). Use when the user asks to commit, craft a commit message, stage changes, or split work into multiple commits.
How to use it
Take dokhacgiakhoa/cpp-pro from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
