Install a vcpkg port with overlay-ports and analyze build logs. Use when asked to install, test, or build a port.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Detect OS/shell, validate vcpkg setup, and emit a combined environment report. Use when asked to check the environment, verify setup, or troubleshoot vcpkg configuration.
Check for upstream project updates and newer versions. Use when asked to check for updates, compare versions, or see if a port is outdated.
Create a new vcpkg port with portfile.cmake, vcpkg.json, and patches. Use when asked to create, add, or generate a new port for a project.
Review port files against vcpkg guidelines and best practices. Use when asked to review, validate, or check a port for correctness.
Search for existing vcpkg ports by name, GitHub URL, or keywords in the local registry and upstream microsoft/vcpkg repository. Use when asked to find, search, or check if a port exists.
Update an existing port to a newer upstream version with SHA512 calculation and testing. Use when asked to update, upgrade, or bump a port version.
