Dynamic C Compilation Script Generator

What it does

This skill produces small cross-platform shell scripts (Bash, Windows Batch, or PowerShell) that compile C source files using gcc. The scripts are parameterised: users provide the input .c filename and desired output executable name as command-line arguments. The generated scripts include basic validation to ensure both arguments are provided, run the canonical gcc command (gcc [input] -o [output]), and return clear feedback indicating whether compilation succeeded or failed.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need a quick, reproducible compile wrapper that can be dropped into CI snippets, teaching materials, or developer utilities. It's useful for: automated builds in minimal environments, educational examples showing how to parameterise shell scripts, and generating platform-appropriate compile helpers on demand.

What's included

• Scripts: Generates example templates for Bash, Windows CMD (Batch), and PowerShell formats (no repo scripts directory detected).
• References: None detected in repo metadata.
• Instructions: The skill's body specifies operational rules (accept two args, use gcc [input] -o [output], validate args, report success/failure, and avoid hardcoded filenames). The prompt contains triggers and anti-pattern notes to keep outputs portable.

Compatible agents

This skill is best used with agents capable of generating shell code and understanding cross-platform constraints (e.g., code-oriented assistants like Copilot/Codex, Claude Code, or general LLMs configured for code generation).
