Activates on queries about eBPF, bpftool, bpftrace, XDP programs, libbpf, verifier errors, eBPF maps, or kernel tracing with BPF.

Binary hardening skill for security-hardened C/C++ builds. Use when enabling RELRO, PIE, stack canaries, FORTIFY_SOURCE, CFI sanitizers, shadow stack, or seccomp-bpf syscall filtering. Covers checksec analysis, compiler and linker flags for hardened builds, and NSA/CISA-recommended mitigations. Activates on queries about binary hardening, checksec, RELRO, PIE, stack canaries, FORTIFY_SOURCE, CFI, shadow stack, or seccomp.

WebAssembly runtime skill using wasmtime. Use when running WASM modules with wasmtime CLI, working with WASI preview2, using the component model, embedding wasmtime in Rust applications, limiting execution with fuel metering, or debugging WASM with DWARF in wasmtime. Activates on queries about wasmtime, WASI, WASM component model, wasmtime embedding, WIT interfaces, fuel metering, or server-side WebAssembly.

Rust no_std skill for embedded and bare-metal development. Use when writing

Fuzzing skill for automated input-driven bug finding in C/C++. Use when setting up libFuzzer or AFL++ fuzz targets, defining fuzz entry points around parsing or I/O boundaries, integrating fuzzing into CI, managing corpora, or combining fuzzing with sanitizers. Activates on queries about libFuzzer, AFL, afl-fuzz, fuzz targets, corpus management, coverage-guided fuzzing, or OSS-Fuzz integration.

Cargo workflow skill for Rust projects. Use when managing workspaces, feature flags, build scripts, cargo cache, incremental builds, dependency auditing, or CI configuration with Cargo. Activates on queries about cargo workspaces, Cargo.toml features, build.rs, cargo nextest, cargo deny, cargo check vs build, or Cargo.lock management.

Ninja build system skill. Use when diagnosing Ninja build failures, understanding Ninja's role as a low-level build executor generated by CMake or other meta-build systems, tuning parallelism, interpreting Ninja output, or working with build.ninja files. Activates on queries about ninja errors, ninja parallelism, ninja verbose output, build.ninja format, or ninja as a CMake generator.

LLVM IR and pass pipeline skill. Use when working directly with LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR), running opt passes, generating IR with llc, inspecting or writing LLVM IR for custom passes, or understanding how the LLVM backend lowers IR to assembly. Activates on queries about LLVM IR, opt, llc, llvm-dis, LLVM passes, IR transformations, or building LLVM-based tools.

LLDB debugger skill for C/C++/Swift/Objective-C programs. Use when debugging with LLDB on macOS, FreeBSD, or Linux-clang environments, mapping GDB mental models to LLDB commands, using LLDB in Xcode or VS Code, or debugging Swift/Objective-C. Activates on queries about LLDB commands, GDB to LLDB migration, Apple platform debugging, LLDB Python scripting, or IDE-integrated debugging with clang-built binaries.

AArch64 and ARM assembly skill for reading and writing ARM assembly code. Use when reading GCC/Clang output for AArch64 or ARM Thumb targets, writing inline asm in C/C++, understanding the ARM ABI (AAPCS64/AAPCS), or debugging register and stack state on ARM hardware or QEMU. Activates on queries about AArch64 assembly, ARM Thumb, NEON/SVE SIMD, ARM calling convention, inline asm for ARM, or reading ARM disassembly.
