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.
