The tool indexes local security utilities like Ghidra, GDB, and Nmap, and maintains trajectory logs to refine methodologies over time.", "body_md": "As AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline) become integrated into daily software development, engineers are increasingly tasking them with security audits, binary analysis, and vulnerability detection. However, without structured guidance, AI models frequently guess random command-line arguments or struggle to coordinate complex multi-step security tools.\n\n**reverse-skill** is an open-source framework developed by zhaoxuya520 to solve AI security task coordination. Built as a deterministic \"skill router,\" `reverse-skill`\n\nprovides AI agents with verified execution paths and toolchain bootstrapping for reverse engineering and security research.\n\n`reverse-skill`\n\nacts as an intelligence routing layer between AI agents and local security utilities. Instead of executing arbitrary terminal commands, the agent evaluates incoming tasks against a deterministic routing pipeline, selecting established methodologies for decompilation, memory analysis, or network auditing.\n\n`reverse-skill`\n\norganizes security workflows into structured rules. When an AI agent encounters a task (such as inspecting an Android APK or analyzing a binary executable), the router directs the agent to a step-by-step methodology, minimizing ad-hoc execution errors.\n\n`reverse-skill`\n\nincludes local indexing scripts (`refresh-tool-index.sh`\n\n/ `.ps1`\n\n) that automatically scan your system. It indexes installed reverse-engineering tools—such as Ghidra, GDB, Radare2, Frida, Nmap, and Apktool—configuring exact executable paths for your AI agent.\n\nThe framework maintains trajectory logs and CTF regression benchmarks. As your AI agent completes complex analysis tasks, `reverse-skill`\n\nrefines its local knowledge base, preserving successful methodologies for future audits.\n\n`reverse-skill`\n\ninstalls easily across modern AI coding environments:\n\n```\n# Clone the repository\ngit clone https://github.com/zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill.git\n\n# Refresh local tool index\ncd reverse-skill\nbash skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh  # (or .ps1 on Windows)\n```\n\nSimply reference the `reverse-skill`\n\ndirectory in your agent configuration (`.claude/settings.json`\n\n, `.cursorrules`\n\n, or `.clinerules`\n\n).\n\nBy providing AI coding assistants with verified execution paths and automatic toolchain indexing, `reverse-skill`\n\nbrings structure to AI-assisted cybersecurity. It empowers security researchers and developers to conduct thorough, repeatable security audits efficiently.\n\n*Want to enhance your agent's security capabilities?
