Picks ten actionable C++ Core Guidelines and shows concrete fixes: use in-class member initializers to avoid inconsistent defaults, prefer a default argument over duplicate overload bodies, keep constructor initializer order matching declaration, replace many primitive parameters with a small struct or Point type, never cast away const — use mutable for caching, avoid returning raw owning pointers (use smart pointers or gsl::not_null), use gsl::narrow to detect dangerous conversions, and prefer returning a struct (or tuple/optional) so callers get clear, checked semantics.
