Apply Memory Safety Patterns
Memory bugs cause crashes, leaks, and security defects in systems software. This skill gives practical patterns for safer resource ownership across C, C++, and Rust.
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "memory-safety-patterns" from https://skillstore.io/skills/wshobson-memory-safety-patterns.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/wshobson-memory-safety-patterns/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Using "memory-safety-patterns". I need to manage a file handle in C++ without leaks.
Expected outcome:
Using "memory-safety-patterns". My Rust service shares counters across worker threads.
Expected outcome:
Using "memory-safety-patterns". I am reviewing a C API that allocates several resources.
Expected outcome:
All static findings are false positives from Markdown examples, code fences, public reference links, or illustrative C, C++, and Rust snippets. No prompt injection, hidden automation, data exfiltration intent, or malicious semantic behavior was found in SKILL.md.

Use RAII and smart pointer patterns to reduce leaks, double frees, and unsafe manual cleanup.
Map shared state, borrowing, lifetimes, and concurrency choices before implementing Rust components.
Review create and destroy flows, goto cleanup blocks, and local resource ownership contracts.
Explain the main memory safety risks in my C or C++ module. Focus on ownership, cleanup, and bounds checks.
Help me choose between unique ownership, shared ownership, borrowing, or cleanup functions for this resource design.
Review this C++ resource management design and suggest a RAII wrapper, move behavior, and safe destructor strategy.
Compare C, C++, and Rust approaches for this concurrency-heavy component. Recommend memory safety patterns and testing tools.

Optimize Prompts With Proven Patterns
LLM prompts can fail through unclear instructions, weak examples, or missing evaluation. This skill provides templates, reasoning patterns, and optimization workflows for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
Manage Context-Driven Development
AI-assisted projects lose consistency when context lives in scattered notes. This skill provides a structured Conductor workflow for product, stack, workflow, and track artifacts.
Build Startup Financial Models
Startup teams need financial plans that connect revenue, hiring, expenses, runway, and fundraising assumptions. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through structured 3-5 year projections and scenario planning.
Write Blameless Incident Postmortems
Incident reviews often lose key facts or produce vague follow-up work. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through timelines, root cause analysis, meetings, and action items.
Transform Data Into Decision Stories
Raw metrics often fail to guide stakeholder decisions. This skill turns analysis into clear narratives, visual structures, and action plans.
Apply Python Design Patterns
Python projects often grow complex when responsibilities mix and abstractions appear too early. This skill guides focused refactors using KISS, SRP, layering, composition, and dependency injection.
Review Security Before Release
by DanielPodolsky
Teams miss security issues when release checks are informal. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through structured security questions and warning templates.
Audit Code for Security Risks
by Barnhardt-Enterprises-Inc
Security-sensitive code is easy to ship with hidden flaws in authentication, input handling, and secrets. This skill gives Claude, Codex, and Claude Code structured security references and scanner guidance for safer reviews.
Build Production Rust Systems
by sickn33
Rust projects often require careful choices across ownership, async runtimes, safety, and performance. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through production Rust design and implementation.
Simplify Rust If-Let Control Flow
by EmilLindfors
Nested pattern matching can hide the main decision path in Rust code. This skill helps Claude, Codex, and Claude Code suggest let chains for clearer Rust 2024 control flow.
Improve Rust Test Coverage
by EmilLindfors
Missing tests leave Rust error paths and edge cases unprotected. This skill reviews code and tests, then suggests targeted coverage improvements.
Build Rust Test Mocks with Trait Patterns
by EmilLindfors
Rust tests often become slow or fragile when they depend on databases, HTTP services, or real infrastructure. This skill helps Claude, Codex, and Claude Code design trait-based mocks, controlled failures, and fixture helpers.
