Add this skill

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 project

In 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 projects

Standalone 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
cp -r ctf-skills/ctf-pwn .cursor/skills/ctf-pwn   # project; ~/.cursor/skills for all projects

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.

When it triggers

  • use it for pure web bugs, disk or packet forensics, or standalone crypto/math challenges.
