description	Use this skill when creating, reviewing, or updating a gzcli CTF event repository or challenge directory. It covers `.gzevent`, category layout, `.example/` starter templates, `.structure/` scaffolding, required challenge roots like `challenge.yml`, `dist/`, `src/`, and `solver/`, plus sync/watch behavior, upload validation constraints, and writeup placement.

GZCLI CTF Event Authoring

Quick Use

• Confirm whether the task is about the event repo itself or a specific challenge inside a category.
• For structure questions, read ../../../.agents/skills/authoring-gzcli-ctf-events/references/event-repo-structure.md.
• For challenge folder contents and packaging, read ../../../.agents/skills/authoring-gzcli-ctf-events/references/challenge-directory-contract.md.
• For sync, watch, and upload behavior, read ../../../.agents/skills/authoring-gzcli-ctf-events/references/sync-watch-and-upload-rules.md.

Core Workflow

1. Read .gzevent when event metadata matters.
2. Keep challenges under the fixed category directories only.
3. Start new challenges from the closest .example/ template instead of inventing a layout from scratch.
4. Keep deployable challenge roots compatible with the gzcli contract: challenge.yml, dist/, src/, solver/, with optional Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .dockerignore, and .gitignore.
5. Validate the intended solve path end-to-end before treating the challenge as ready.

Operational Rules

• challenge.yml must remain the canonical challenge definition filename.
• Do not leave challenge.yml identical to a stock template.
• If provide: ./dist is set, dist/ must contain real files.
• solver/ must contain meaningful intended-solution material.
• Treat solver/ and writeup content as documentation, not deployment inputs.
