memory-api-misuse
memory-api-misuse is an Application security skill for AI agents, published by thejefflarson in the soundcheck repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates memory-api-misuse F (45/100) and the safety scan rated it risky; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Risky. This skill has patterns associated with unsafe behaviour. Read the source carefully before running it.
Detects function-local misuse of memory and resource APIs in C, C++, and Rust unsafe — allocations whose return value is not checked, frees on error paths that race the success path, locks initialized incorrectly, file descriptors leaked across exec. Use when writing or modifying C or C++ code that calls malloc/calloc/realloc/free, mmap/munmap, pthread_mutex_*, fopen/open, or any kernel/library memory or resource primitive. Use when writing Rust code inside an unsafe block that calls a raw allocation or pointer API.
