## How to Use This Skill When helping with `-fbounds-safety` adoption or code changes, ask clarifying questions about the user's codebase and goals before suggesting changes. For complex tasks involving multiple files or non-trivial annotation decisions, use plan mode to propose an approach before implementing. # `-fbounds-safety` Language Extension `-fbounds-safety` is a C language extension that prevents out-of-bounds memory access by enforcing bounds safety at the language level. It inserts automatic bounds checks at runtime, rejects unsafe pointer operations at compile time, and requires programmers to provide bounds annotations so the compiler can guarantee safety. Out-of-bounds accesses become deterministic traps instead of exploitable vulnerabilities. ## Detailed Documentation ### Required reading before adoption work You MUST have fully read the following three documents (via the Read tool) at the start of an adoption task, and re-read them via the Read tool before any source-modifying step in the adoption workflow unless their content is verifiably fresh in your active context: - [adoption-strategies.md](references/adoption-strategies.md) — the workflow for adopting `-fbou

About this skill
What does the c-bounds-safety skill do?

Guide for the C -fbounds-safety language extension. Covers the language model, pointer annotations, adopting bounds-safety in existing C code, compiler build settings and modes, and runtime debugging of bounds violations.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add superagents-lab/xcode27-skills --skill c-bounds-safety --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From superagents-lab/xcode27-skills, a repository with 261 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
