CMake

Purpose

Guide agents through modern (target-first) CMake for C/C++ projects: out-of-source builds, dependency management, generator selection, and integration with CI and IDEs.

Triggers

• "How do I write a CMakeLists.txt for my project?"
• "How do I add an external library with CMake?"
• "CMake can't find my package / library"
• "How do I enable sanitizers in CMake?"
• "How do I cross-compile with CMake?"
• "How do I use CMake Presets?"

Workflow

1. Modern CMake principles
