Description
cpp-pro is an agent skill from the jeffallan claude-skills collection that helps a coding agent write, optimise and debug C++ applications using modern C++20 and C++23 features, template metaprogramming and high-performance systems techniques. Its workflow starts by reviewing the architecture, the build system, the compiler flags and the performance requirements. It then designs type-safe interfaces with C++20 concepts, and implements zero-overhead abstractions with RAII, constexpr and move semantics. The verification step runs sanitizers and static analysis, and requires memory and undefined-behaviour errors reported by AddressSanitizer or UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer to be fixed before continuing. The benchmark step profiles real workloads and, if the performance targets are not met, applies targeted optimisations such as SIMD, cache-friendly layout and move semantics, then measures again. The skill is aimed at systems programmers and teams doing high-performance computing who want the agent to follow modern idioms and measure its results. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the collection. Its Gen Agent Trust Hub audit is marked as failing and Snyk shows a warning, which the FAQ lists. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/jeffallan/claude-skills --skill cpp-pro.…

cpp-pro FAQ
What does this skill do?
It helps an agent write, optimise and debug C++ with modern C++20 and C++23 features and high-performance techniques.
What checks does it run?
Sanitizers and static analysis, and it requires AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer findings to be fixed before going on.
How does it optimise?
It profiles real workloads and applies targeted changes such as SIMD, cache layout and move semantics, then re-measures.
How do I install it?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/jeffallan/claude-skills --skill cpp-pro.
What are the security audit results?
skills.sh lists three audits: Gen Agent Trust Hub Fail, Socket Pass and Snyk Warn. A Warn or Fail is worth reading before you install.
How popular is it?
The page shows about 5.1K installs, and the claude-skills repository has 11.9K GitHub stars.
