Zig Build System
Purpose
Guide agents through writing build.zig files: executables, libraries, C source integration, build options, test configuration, and build.zig.zon package manifests.
Triggers
- "How do I set up a build.zig file?"
- "How do I add a C library to a Zig project?"
- "How do I define build-time options in Zig?"
- "How do I run Zig tests with zig build test?"
- "What is build.zig.zon and how do I use it?"
- "How do I add a Zig package dependency?"
Workflow
1. Project initialization

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.
606static-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.
428llvm
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.
376gdb
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.
178linux-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.
159core-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.
