C++ coding standards based on the C++ Core Guidelines (isocpp.github.io). Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring C++ code to enforce modern, safe, and idiomatic practices.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# C++ Coding Standards (C++ Core Guidelines) Comprehensive coding standards for modern C++ (C++17/20/23) derived from the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines). Enforces type safety, resource safety, immutability, and clarity. ## When to Use - Writing new C++ code (classes, functions, templates) - Reviewing or refactoring existing C++ code - Making architectural decisions in C++ projects - Enforcing consistent style across a C++ codebase - Choosing between language features (e.g., `enum` vs `enum class`, raw pointer vs smart pointer) ### When NOT to Use - Non-C++ projects - Legacy C codebases that cannot adopt modern C++ features - Embedded/bare-metal contexts where specific guidelines conflict with hardware constraints (adapt selectively) ## Cross-Cutting Principles These themes recur across the entire guidelines and form the foundation: 1. **RAII everywhere** (P.8, R.1, E.6, CP.20): Bind resource lifetime to object lifetime 2. **Immutability by default** (P.10, Con.1-5, ES.25): Start with `const`/`constexpr`; mutability is the exception …

How to install
mdr add affaan-m/ecc/cpp-coding-standards@sha256:70919980c635f66dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260607.4ad5756, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
