Sane Cpp Libraries

Sane C++ Libraries

Use this as the single installed skill for every Sane C++ Libraries request.

Start Here

• Read references/getting-started.md first.
• Then read the smallest matching topic guide under references/*/guide.md.
• Use references/topic-map.md when the request is broad, ambiguous, or spans multiple libraries.

Discovery Workflow

1. Ground the answer in the repo-wide rules from getting-started.
2. Pick one primary topic guide and at most one or two companion guides.
3. Inspect the linked public headers, tests, examples, docs, or tools before answering.
4. Prefer repo-specific guidance over generic C++ advice.
