llvm
LLVM IR and Tooling
Purpose
Guide agents through the LLVM IR pipeline: generating IR, running optimisation passes with opt, lowering to assembly with llc, and inspecting IR for debugging or performance work.
Triggers
- "Show me the LLVM IR for this function"
- "How do I run an LLVM optimisation pass?"
- "What does this LLVM IR instruction mean?"
- "How do I write a custom LLVM pass?"
- "Why isn't auto-vectorisation happening in LLVM?"
Workflow
1. Generate LLVM IR

cmake
CMake build system skill for C/C++ projects. Use when writing or refactoring CMakeLists.txt, configuring out-of-source builds, selecting generators (Ninja, Make, VS), managing targets and dependencies with target_link_libraries, integrating external packages via find_package or FetchContent, enabling sanitizers, setting up toolchain files for cross-compilation, or exporting CMake packages. Activates on queries about CMakeLists.txt, cmake configure errors, target properties, install rules, CPack, or CMake presets.
604static-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.
427gdb
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.
