From the SKILL.md

# Unreal Engine C++ Pro This skill provides expert-level guidelines for developing with Unreal Engine 5 using C++. It focuses on writing robust, performant, and standard-compliant code. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - Developing C++ code for Unreal Engine 5.x projects - Writing Actors, Components, or UObject-derived classes - Optimizing performance-critical code in Unreal Engine - Debugging memory leaks or garbage collection issues - Implementing Blueprint-exposed functionality - Following Epic Games' coding standards and conventions - Working with Unreal's reflection system (UCLASS, USTRUCT, UFUNCTION) - Managing asset loading and soft references Do not use this skill when: - Working with Blueprint-only projects (no C++ code) - Developing for Unreal Engine versions prior to 5.x - Working on non-Unreal game engines - The task is unrelated to Unreal Engine development ## Core Principles 1. **UObject & Garbage Collection**: * Always use `UPROPERTY()` for `UObject*` member variables to ensure they are tracked by the Garbage Collector (GC). * Use `TStrongObjectPtr<>` if you need to keep a root reference outside of a UObject graph, but prefer `addToRoot()` generally. * Understand

About this skill
What does the unreal-engine-cpp-pro skill do?

Expert guide for Unreal Engine 5.x C++ development, covering UObject hygiene, performance patterns, and best practices.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill unreal-engine-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.
