About
If you are an AI Agent, jump to README_AI.md and follow the instructions strictly.
When an AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, or another compatible client) encounters an APK, a binary, frontend JS encryption, a CTF challenge, or a pentesting target, this package routes it to the right methodology, checks available tools, and executes a repeatable workflow instead of guessing commands.
User task
→ RULES.md
→ MASTER-ROUTING / master-route.ps1 (PRIMARY)
→ case-init / scope.md (auth + network_profile; no target ACT until ready)
→ Scenario skill → tools / MCP / scripts
→ timeline + Evidence→Finding→Path → report + field-journal
Why this exists:
- AI agents don't know whether to use jadx, apktool, Frida, IDA, or BurpSuite for a given task
- APK, ELF, JS, PCAP, and CTF tasks each need different playbooks
- Tools, MCP servers, and scripts are scattered across machines
- The same mistakes get repeated because experience isn't reused
Current status
| Routing rules | Regression benchmark | Core skill modules | CI platforms | Client model |
|---|
| 44 (R0–R45) | 175 cases | 45 tracked modules | Windows + Ubuntu | Client-neutral |
The routing core is driven by one structured configuration, validated by cross-platform CI, and kept separate from optional client adapters.

Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Java / JDK — for jadx and apktool
- Node.js 22.12+ — for JS toolchain and MCP servers
- Python 3.x — for Frida and helper scripts
- A code AI client — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, or another compatible client
Installation
git clone https://github.com/zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill.git
Then refresh the tool index per platform:
| Platform | Command |
|---|
| Windows | powershell -File skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.ps1 |
| Linux / macOS | bash skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh |
| Kali Linux | bash kali/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh |
Check skills/tool-index.md to see detected tools.

Key files
Testing (run after any routing/config change)
# 1. Routing regression — 173 (hint → expected PRIMARY) cases, fails CI on any mismatch
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File skills/scripts/test-routing.ps1
# 2. Structure coherence + supply-chain pin gate (unpinned auto-install fails)
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File skills/scripts/verify-routing-coherence.ps1
# 3. Smoke: verify + script parse + quick route matrix
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File skills/scripts/smoke.ps1
# 4. INDEX.md drift check (regenerate with extract-summaries.ps1 if dirty)
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File skills/scripts/extract-summaries.ps1 -Check
GitHub Actions CI runs all of the above on Windows + Ubuntu for every push/PR.
Client-neutral integration
The routing core, regression suite, manifests, and case workflow do not depend on a specific AI client. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and other clients should load the repository through their own adapter or project-instruction mechanism. Client-specific configuration must remain optional and outside the core routing contract.
For Codex, the repository also exposes an optional adapter plugin at plugins/reverse-skill/. It delegates to the repository's existing routing core and does not register external MCP servers automatically.

Acknowledgments
Thanks to all open-source tool authors. This project integrates tools across reverse engineering, penetration testing, CTF, and security analysis — every tool is the fruit of community effort.
Special thanks to the OLLVM deobfuscation ecosystem contributors and everyone who submitted test samples, issues, and PRs.
