ia-cpp-systems SKILL.md skillA
ia-cpp-systems from iliaal/whetstone is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add iliaal/whetstone/ia-cpp-systems@git:20261009.5f049fePins git:20261009.5f049fe in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Modern C++ patterns: RAII and ownership, rule of zero/five, exceptions and error handling, API and ABI boundaries, templates, and CMake tooling. Use when writing, reviewing, refactoring, or debugging C++, working with smart pointers, move semantics, memory leaks, template errors, or gtest. For plain C, see ia-c-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++ Systems & Libraries Covers C++17 as the baseline, with C++20 features called out where a project's standard allows them. For plain C (manual lifetimes, status enums, native extensions), see the `ia-c-systems` skill. ## Working rules - Make resource ownership explicit and use RAII for release on every exit path. - Keep borrowed views within backing-storage lifetimes and review copy/move behavior when special members change. - Follow the project's error model and supported language standard. - Preserve ABI and avoid invoking unknown callbacks while holding locks or invalidatable container iterators. ## Repo conventions outrank this skill Check `CMakeLists.txt` for `CXX_STANDARD`, read `.clang-format` and `.clang-tidy`, and read two adjacent translation units before writing. Where they conflict with the rules below, they win. The conflicts that actually happen: | Local constraint | Consequence | |---|---| …

How to install
mdr add iliaal/whetstone/ia-cpp-systems@sha256:88e00629a618e6b7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.5f049fe, 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.
