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 cpp pro tasks or workflows - Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for cpp pro ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to cpp 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 modern C++ and high-performance software. ## Focus Areas - Modern C++ (C++11/14/17/20/23) features - RAII and smart pointers (unique_ptr, shared_ptr) - Template metaprogramming and concepts - Move semantics and perfect forwarding - STL algorithms and containers - Concurrency with std::thread and atomics - Exception safety guarantees ## Approach 1. Prefer stack allocation and RAII over manual memory management 2. Use smart pointers when heap allocation is necessary 3. Follow the Rule of Zero/Three/Five 4. Use const correctness and constexpr where applicable 5. Leverage STL algorithms over raw loops 6. Profile with tools like perf and VTune ## Outpu

What does the cpp-pro skill do?
Write idiomatic C++ code with modern features, RAII, smart pointers, and STL algorithms. Handles templates, move semantics, and performance optimization.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill cpp-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.
