# Memory Safety Patterns
|
|
|
|
Cross-language patterns for memory-safe programming including RAII, ownership, smart pointers, and resource management.
|
|
|
|
## Use this skill when
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
## Do not use this skill when
|
|
|
|
- The task is unrelated to memory safety patterns
|
|
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
|
|
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
|
|
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
|
|
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Resources
|
|
|
|
- `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
|
|
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
|
|
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
