The C++ Core Guidelines<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/|title=C++ Core Guidelines|website=isocpp.github.io|access-date=9 February 2020|archive-date=16 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200216200622/http://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/|url-status=live}}</ref> are an initiative led by Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of C++, and Herb Sutter, the convener and chair of the C++ ISO Working Group, to help programmers write 'Modern C++' by using best practices for the language standards C++11 and newer, and to help developers of compilers and static checking tools to create rules for catching bad programming practices.

The main aim is to efficiently and consistently write type and resource safe C++.

The Core Guidelines were announced<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://isocpp.org/blog/2015/09/bjarne-stroustrup-announces-cpp-core-guidelines|title=Bjarne Stroustrup announces C++ Core Guidelines : Standard C++|website=isocpp.org|access-date=31 March 2020|archive-date=11 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200511035635/https://isocpp.org/blog/2015/09/bjarne-stroustrup-announces-cpp-core-guidelines|url-status=live}}</ref> in the opening keynote at CPPCon 2015.
