Claude
Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills/ (all projects) or .claude/skills/ (one project):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ljagiello/ctf-skills.git
cp -r ctf-skills/ctf-pwn ~/.claude/skills/ctf-pwn # personal, or .claude/skills in a projectIn the Claude apps, zip the ctf-pwn folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).
ChatGPT / Codex
Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ljagiello/ctf-skills.git
cp -r ctf-skills/ctf-pwn .agents/skills/ctf-pwn # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projectsStandalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.
Cursor
Cursor loads skills from .cursor/skills/ (or ~/.cursor/skills/) and also reads .claude/skills/:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ljagiello/ctf-skills.git

What this skill does
Provides binary exploitation techniques for CTF challenges. Use when you already have a vulnerable native target or service and need to turn memory corruption or low-level primitives into code execution or privilege escalation, such as buffer overflows, format strings, heap bugs, ROP, ret2libc, shellcode, kernel exploitation, seccomp bypass, sandbox escape, or Windows/Linux exploit chains. Do not use it when the main blocker is understanding what the binary does; use reverse engineering first.
