About this skill

Enforce strict header self-containment so that every header file compiles independently. Use this skill when creating or modifying C++ header files.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by google/filament in skills/header_self_containment/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Every header file (.h) in Filament must be fully self-contained and compile independently.

  • Rule: Never assume a header's type dependencies (like FrameGraphHandle) are pre-declared by preceding includes in a .cpp file.
  • Action: Always explicitly #include the declaring header (e.g., fg/FrameGraphId.h) inside the header itself.
