2 sections, as written by the author

To add a new source file (C/C++, header, or assembly) to BoringSSL, you must update the build configuration and regenerate the build files.

Update build.json:
Add the new file to the correct section (e.g., srcs, hdrs, internal_hdrs) under the appropriate target in build.json.
For the schema of build.json, refer to the Go structs in util/pregenerate/build.go.

Update Pregenerated Files:
After modifying build.json, you must regenerate the build files.
Refer to gen/README.md or use the update_pregenerated_files skill to update the pre-generated files.

Copy the folder

Take google/add-source-file from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash
