memory-safety-patterns skillA

memory-safety-patterns is agent-read markdown (skill) from dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust: Implement memory-safe programming with RAII, ownership, smart pointers, and resource management across Rust, C++, and C. Use when writing safe systems code, managing resources, or preventing memory bugs..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Memory Safety Patterns

Cross-language patterns for memory-safe programming including RAII, ownership, smart pointers, and resource management.

## When to Use This Skill

- Writing memory-safe systems code
- Managing resources (files, sockets, memory)
- Preventing use-after-free and leaks
- Implementing RAII patterns
- Choosing between languages for safety
- Debugging memory issues

## Core Concepts

### 1. Memory Bug Categories

| Bug Type             | Description                      | Prevention        |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| **Use-after-free**   | Access freed memory              | Ownership, RAII   |
| **Double-free**      | Free same memory twice           | Smart pointers    |
| **Memory leak**      | Never free memory                | RAII, GC          |
| **Buffer overflow**  | Write past buffer end            | Bounds checking   |
| **Dangling pointer** | Pointer to freed memory          | Lifetime tracking |
| **Data race**        | Concurrent unsynchronized access | Ownership, Sync   |

### 2. Safety Spectrum

```
Manual (C) → Smart Pointers (C++) → Ownership (Rust) → GC (Go, Java)
