What it does
Performs comprehensive C/C++ security review for memory corruption, integer overflows, race conditions, and platform-specific vulnerabilities. Use when auditing native C/C++ applications, reviewing daemons or services for memory safety, or hunting integer overflow / use-after-free / race conditions in userspace code.
Install
With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:
npx skills add trailofbits/skills --skill c-reviewOr copy the skill folder into Claude Code's skills directory by hand (~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside one):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/trailofbits/skills
cp -r skills/plugins/c-review/skills/c-review ~/.claude/skills/c-reviewSafety box score
Not rated yet. A safety box score grades what a skill and its scripts can reach on the machine of whoever installs it, across eight categories from shell execution to secrets access. Anyone can request one from this page; it is saved for everyone. How the score works.
