## What it does

The skill sets an order for handling an artifact: record the hash, format, architecture, tool version, environment and observed addresses first. Static inference then stays separate from runtime evidence, and any uncertainty caused by protection gets labelled. That habit keeps a guess from being reported as a finding.

Topic routing lives in reference files. `references/evidence-and-tools.md` covers binary findings, debuggers, disassemblers, memory tools and DBI. `references/analysis-and-protection.md` handles anti-analysis, game targets, workflow and obfuscation. `references/ecosystem-and-advanced.md` goes into plugins, MCP tools, diffing, anti-debugging, virtualization and exploit-oriented analysis. Two more files, `references/repository-resources.md` and `references/repository-map.md`, help pick sources.

The skill draws its own boundaries: kernel contracts belong to `windows-kernel-security`, engine models to `game-engine-resources`, and consequential conclusions to `game-security-research-rigor`. Worth knowing before you start — on a protected commercial title some addresses and structures are deliberately distorted, so a conclusion without runtime confirmation stays a hypothesis.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gmh5225/awesome-game-security --skill reverse-engineering-tools -a claude-code
```
```bash
npx skills add gmh5225/awesome-game-security --skill reverse-engineering -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/reverse-engineering/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/reverse-engineering/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gmh5225/awesome-game-security --skill reverse-engineering -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/reverse-engineering/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gmh5225/awesome-game-security --skill reverse-engineering -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/reverse-engineering/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install gmh5225/awesome-game-security reverse-engineering
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/reverse-engineering/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gmh5225/awesome-game-security --skill reverse-engineering -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/gmh5225/awesome-game-security --path .claude/skills/reverse-engineering
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/reverse-engineering/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add gmh5225/awesome-game-security --skill reverse-engineering -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- record a binary's hash and architecture before analysis
- keep static inference apart from runtime evidence
- work through a driver or dump without losing environment context
- flag findings that protection has distorted
- diff two builds and list what changed

## Example prompts
- analyze this game binary: record the hash, architecture and tool version, then show the entry points
- diff these two driver dumps and list what changed between builds
- reconstruct the interfaces from this trace and mark where the conclusion rests on static analysis only

# Reverse-engineering tools

Record the artifact hash, format, architecture, tool version, environment, and observed addresses. Separate static inference from runtime evidence and label protection-induced uncertainty.

## Topic routing

- [Evidence and tools](references/evidence-and-tools.md) for binary findings, debuggers, disassemblers, memory tools, and DBI.
- [Analysis and protection](references/analysis-and-protection.md) for anti-analysis, game targets, workflow, and obfuscation.
- [Ecosystem and advanced work](references/ecosystem-and-advanced.md) for plugins, MCP tools, diffing, anti-debugging, virtualization, and exploit-oriented analysis.
- [Repository resources](references/repository-resources.md) and [repository map](references/repository-map.md) for source selection.

Use `windows-kernel-security` for kernel contracts, `game-engine-resources` for engine models, and `game-security-research-rigor` for consequential conclusions.
```
