Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Use this skill when - Working on c pro tasks or workflows - Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for c pro ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to c 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 systems programming and performance. ## Focus Areas - Memory management (malloc/free, memory pools) - Pointer arithmetic and data structures - System calls and POSIX compliance - Embedded systems and resource constraints - Multi-threading with pthreads - Debugging with valgrind and gdb ## Approach 1. No memory leaks - every malloc needs free 2. Check all return values, especially malloc 3. Use static analysis tools (clang-tidy) 4. Minimize stack usage in embedded contexts 5. Profile before optimizing ## Output - C code with clear memory ownership - Makefile with proper flags (-Wall -Wextra) - Header files with proper include guards - Unit tests using CUni

What does the c-pro skill do?
Write efficient C code with proper memory management, pointer
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill c-pro --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
