C++ Coding Style: Pass by Value and Avoid Const
Enforces a specific C++ coding style where string parameters are passed by value (std::string) instead of by reference (std::string&), and const qualifiers are generally omitted from function parameters and member functions unless required for static constants.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

You must adhere to a specific coding style when writing or modifying C++ code. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **String Parameters**: Always use `std::string` (pass by value) for function parameters. Do NOT use `std::string&` (pass by reference). 2. **Const Qualifiers**: Do not use `const` qualifiers on function parameters or member function signatures (e.g., avoid `const int&`, `void func() const`). Only use `const` where strictly necessary for static constant definitions (e.g., `static const int`). 3. **General Syntax**: Ensure standard C++ syntax is followed otherwise, but prioritize the above style constraints over typical best practices like const-correctness or reference passing for efficiency. # Anti-Patterns - Do not write `void setName(const std::string& name)`. - Do not write `std::string getName() co

What does the C++ Coding Style: Pass by Value and Avoid Const skill do?
Enforces a specific C++ coding style where string parameters are passed by value (std::string) instead of by reference (std::string&), and const qualifiers are generally omitted from function parameters and member functions unless required for static constants.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill c-coding-style-pass-by-value-and-avoid-const --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 ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 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.
