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.cppfile. - Action: Always explicitly
#includethe declaring header (e.g.,fg/FrameGraphId.h) inside the header itself.
