cmake
CMake
Purpose
Guide agents through modern (target-first) CMake for C/C++ projects: out-of-source builds, dependency management, generator selection, and integration with CI and IDEs.
Triggers
- "How do I write a CMakeLists.txt for my project?"
- "How do I add an external library with CMake?"
- "CMake can't find my package / library"
- "How do I enable sanitizers in CMake?"
- "How do I cross-compile with CMake?"
- "How do I use CMake Presets?"
Workflow
1. Modern CMake principles

static-analysis
Static analysis skill for C/C++ codebases. Use when hardening code quality, triaging noisy builds, running clang-tidy, cppcheck, or scan-build, interpreting check categories, suppressing false positives, or integrating static analysis into CI. Activates on queries about clang-tidy checks, cppcheck, scan-build, compile_commands.json, code hardening, or static analysis warnings.
427llvm
LLVM IR and pass pipeline skill. Use when working directly with LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR), running opt passes, generating IR with llc, inspecting or writing LLVM IR for custom passes, or understanding how the LLVM backend lowers IR to assembly. Activates on queries about LLVM IR, opt, llc, llvm-dis, LLVM passes, IR transformations, or building LLVM-based tools.
373gdb
GDB debugger skill for C/C++ programs. Use when starting a GDB session, setting breakpoints, stepping through code, inspecting variables, debugging crashes, using reverse debugging (record/replay), remote debugging with gdbserver, or loading core dumps. Activates on queries about GDB commands, segfaults, hangs, watchpoints, conditional breakpoints, pretty-printers, Python GDB scripting, or multi-threaded debugging.
177linux-perf
Linux perf profiler skill for CPU performance analysis. Use when collecting sampling profiles with perf record, generating perf report, measuring hardware counters (cache misses, branch mispredicts, IPC), identifying hot functions, or feeding perf data into flamegraph tools. Activates on queries about perf, Linux performance counters, PMU events, off-CPU profiling, perf stat, perf annotate, or sampling-based profiling on Linux.
158core-dumps
Core dump analysis skill for production crash triage. Use when loading core files in GDB or LLDB, enabling core dump generation on Linux/macOS, mapping symbols with debuginfo or debuginfod, or extracting backtraces from crashes without re-running the program. Activates on queries about core files, ulimit, coredumpctl, debuginfod, crash triage, or analyzing segfaults from production binaries.
147clang
Clang/LLVM compiler skill for C/C++ projects. Use when working with clang or clang++ for diagnostics, sanitizer instrumentation, optimization remarks, static analysis with clang-tidy, LTO via lld, or when migrating from GCC to Clang. Activates on queries about clang flags, clang-tidy, clang-format, better error messages, Apple/FreeBSD toolchains, or LLVM-specific optimizations. Covers flag selection, diagnostic tuning, and integration with LLVM tooling.
