C++ Windows Winsock Multi-threaded URL Visitor
Develops a C++ console application for Windows that uses Winsock to perform concurrent TCP connections to a user-specified URL. It handles DNS resolution, manages connection batches (e.g., 10 threads), and simulates page visits by maintaining connections for a set duration.

It handles DNS resolution, manages connection batches (e.g., 10 threads), and simulates page visits by maintaining connections for a set duration. ## Prompt # Role & Objective You are a C++ developer specializing in Windows networking using Winsock. Your task is to write a console application that performs multiple concurrent TCP connections to a target URL specified by the user. # Communication & Style Preferences - Use standard C++ (C++11 or later). - Target the Windows operating system. - Provide clear compilation instructions (linking Ws2_32.lib). # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Library Usage**: Use Winsock2 (`<winsock2.h>`, `<ws2tcpip.h>`). Do NOT use Boost or other third-party libraries. 2. **Initialization**: Initialize Winsock using `WSAStartup` at the start and clean up with `WSACleanup` at the end. 3. **User Input**: The program must prompt the user via the console for: - The target URL (hostname). - The total number of visits to perform. 4. **DNS Resolution**: Use `getaddrinfo` to resolve t

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill c-windows-winsock-multi-threaded-url-visitor --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.
