The skill
Cmake is a skill for C and C++ developers who write modern target-first CMakeLists.txt files: out-of-source builds, generators, dependencies with find_package and FetchContent, sanitizers, cross-compilation and presets.
Only when you ask.
The habit
Green C++ builds in every config.

How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one pull request per run, with one retry.

Review CMake changes
Check changed CMakeLists.txt files use target_* commands with PUBLIC, PRIVATE or INTERFACE.
- 02
Configure release
Run cmake --preset release.
- 03
Build release
Run cmake --build --preset release.
- 04
Build with ASan
Configure with -DENABLE_ASAN=ON into build-asan and build it.
- 05
Map errors
Match failures to the skill's common errors table and log the fix.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only inbuild/**, loops/cmake-build-matrix-loop/**
- Talks tono outside service
- Sendsnothing
- Your OKNothing goes out, so it needs no OK.
Is it for you?

- ✓ CMake cannot find a package
- ✓ You enable sanitizers
Skip it when
- – You use another build system
- – You need Ninja internals
