C++ Development

This skill enforces the house C++ coding standards when creating or modifying C++ code.

Instructions

CRITICAL: This skill MUST be invoked for ANY C++ code operation, including:

• Creating new .h/.cpp files (even small helpers)
• Modifying existing C++ files (any change, no matter how small)
• Reviewing or refactoring C++ code

Process:

1. Read references/style-and-design.md
2. Before writing/modifying ANY C++ code, ensure edits are conformant
3. Document every public symbol with a contract comment (what it does, ownership, failure behavior)
4. Comments must ALWAYS be written in American English, unless the user explicitly requests a different language
5. If the file is fully compliant, add a header comment: // C++ guideline compliant {date} where {date} is the guideline date/version
