A Claude Code plugin providing comprehensive Zig best practices for writing safe, performant, and maintainable Zig code.
Patterns Covered (10 Sections)
- Memory Safety — errdefer chains, arena allocators, poisoning, resource grouping
- Infallible Runtime Operations — AssumeCapacity philosophy across all container types
- Error Handling — narrow error sets, exhaustive switches, error composition
- Comptime & Generics — type functions,
@fieldParentPtr, @Type, @embedFile, deep equality
- Memory Layout & Copy Safety — extern structs, SIMD, mmap, cache alignment, packed structs
- Naming & Style — snake_case/PascalCase rules, named arguments, sized types
- Code Organization — imports, intrusive data structures, object pools, ref counting
- Thread Safety & Concurrency — threadlocal, lock-free MPSC, atomics
- Smart Pointer Patterns — copy-on-write, RefCount mixin
- C Interop — export fn, callconv, allocator bridging, pointer smuggling
