C++ implementation and review guidance for modern ownership, type safety, API design, and tests; use `coding-guidance-qt` when QObject lifetime, signals and slots, QWidget/model-view behavior, Qt threading, or Qt build tooling is the main concern. Portable across C++17/20/23 repositories and build systems.

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 Guidance

This skill adds portable C++ implementation, refactoring, and review guidance.

## Adjacent Skills

This skill provides portable C++ engineering principles. Compose with:

- **Workflow:** **thinking** (ambiguous decision framing),
  **recursive-thinking** (stress-testing),
  **security** (threat modeling)
- **Domain overlays:** **backend-guidance** (server-side code),
  **backend-systems-guidance** (stronger backend architecture, reliability, and
  trust-boundary work),
  **ui-guidance** (graphical UI/web frontend),
  **project-core-dev** (repo-specific completion discovery and reporting when
  needed)
- **Qt specialization:** **coding-guidance-qt** when Qt object lifetime,
  eventing, widgets, models, thread affinity, or generated build steps dominate

## When Not to Lean on This Skill

- non-C++ work
- legacy or bare-metal environments where modern C++ guidance must be adapted
  selectively
- pure architecture or process work with no C++ design or code judgment needed
- repo-specific style packs or platform policies that should be enforced by
  local `clang-tidy`, compiler, or overlay rules rather than a portable
  principle skill

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add n-n-code/n-n-code-skills/coding-guidance-cpp@sha256:6ab33fa72c563041

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.6c1f699, 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.
