Ghidra/IDA Reverse Engineering Skill
Overview
This skill provides deep integration with Ghidra and IDA Pro for comprehensive binary analysis and reverse engineering tasks.
Capabilities
- Execute Ghidra headless analysis scripts
- Parse and interpret disassembly output
- Generate and run Ghidra Python scripts
- Analyze decompiled code for vulnerabilities
- Extract function signatures and data structures
- Create and apply Ghidra type definitions
- Export analysis artifacts (call graphs, data flows)
- Support IDA Pro scripting (IDAPython)
Target Processes
- binary-reverse-engineering.js
- firmware-analysis.js
- malware-analysis.js
- vulnerability-root-cause-analysis.js
Dependencies
- Ghidra CLI (analyzeHeadless)
- IDA Pro (optional, for IDAPython support)
- Python 3.x with ghidra_bridge or ghidrathon
- Java Runtime Environment (for Ghidra)
Usage Context
This skill is essential for:
- Static binary analysis workflows
- Vulnerability discovery in compiled code
- Malware reverse engineering
- Firmware extraction and analysis
- Protocol reverse engineering from binaries
Integration Notes
- Ghidra headless mode enables automated analysis pipelines
- Results can be exported as JSON, XML, or custom formats
- Supports both script-based and interactive analysis workflows
- Can generate Ghidra project files for manual follow-up

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
