What it does

Operate Binary Analysis Toolchain is an agent skill from cyberful/cyberful. Operate Ghidra headless analysis, radare2, platform binary utilities, decompilers, and targeted dynamic evidence for advanced native and bytecode security review. Use for stripped or optimized binary triage, architecture and hardening analysis, call-graph and dataflow reconstruction, patch diffing, parser or trust-boundary review, JNI/native correlation, or resolving disagreements between decompilers and actual machine behavior.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/binary-analysis-fieldbook.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Reverse engineering and malware. It works with Ghidra. The repository describes itself as: Cyberful is an open-source AI Red Team for discovering, exploiting, verifying, and remediating vulnerabilities. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Optimized binary triage
  • Architecture and hardening analysis
  • Call-graph and dataflow reconstruction
  • Trust-boundary review

Example prompts

  • “/operate-binary-analysis-toolchain”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. call ghidra_import with a relative workarea path and retain its SHA-256;
  2. poll the returned identifier with ghidra_job instead of blocking on analysis;
  3. use ghidra_search, ghidra_xrefs, and ghidra_call_graph to narrow the boundary; when a name or signature is ambiguous, select only a…
  4. confirm decisive sites with ghidra_listing and ghidra_decompile;
  5. preserve hypotheses and confidence with ghidra_annotations;
  6. create a ghidra_project checkpoint before handoff.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec598a6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Operate Binary Analysis Toolchain loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 493 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Operate Binary Analysis Toolchain

Treat decompiler output as a lossy hypothesis. Anchor conclusions in bytes, relocations, calling convention, control/data flow, and runtime evidence.

Establish artifact identity

Record cryptographic hash, source/provenance, format, architecture/subarchitecture, endianness, ABI, load address, sections/segments, imports/exports, relocations, interpreter/runtime, signatures, debug symbols, packing, and hardening. Use bounded xxd views when raw bytes resolve format ambiguity, and archive_extract for signature-detected, bounded, atomic ZIP, TAR-family, compressed-stream, and native 7-Zip publication. Keep universal/fat slices and platform variants separate.

Triage before decompiling

Map entry points, initialization/finalization, exported interfaces, IPC/network/file/parser boundaries, privilege transitions, cryptographic and verification APIs, dynamic loading, dangerous memory/process functions, error/log paths, and embedded configuration. Use strings only as cross-reference seeds.

Use the persistent Ghidra MCP as the primary semantic workspace:

  1. call ghidra_import with a relative workarea path and retain its SHA-256;
  2. poll the returned identifier with ghidra_job instead of blocking on analysis;
  3. use ghidra_search, ghidra_xrefs, and ghidra_call_graph to narrow the boundary; when a name or signature is ambiguous, select only a returned canonical address rather than guessing;
  4. confirm decisive sites with ghidra_listing and ghidra_decompile;
  5. preserve hypotheses and confidence with ghidra_annotations;
  6. create a ghidra_project checkpoint before handoff.

The project, analysis, names, comments, bookmarks, and job history survive phase and runtime replacement. Cite the automatically captured raw/ghidra/ evidence paths in handoffs and reports. Never request arbitrary scripts or binary patching through the MCP; use radare2 and platform tools to independently confirm sections, functions, references, and instructions at critical sites.

Read references/binary-analysis-fieldbook.md when reconstructing optimized code or patch-diffing.

Reconstruct security invariants

For each boundary:

  1. identify exact calling convention and argument ownership;
  2. trace length, signedness, encoding, lifetime, and error values;
  3. locate all dominating validation and authorization branches;
  4. follow indirect calls, vtables, jump tables, callbacks, and dynamic imports;
  5. inspect cleanup and exceptional exits;
  6. verify ambiguous behavior in disassembly or a bounded runtime trace.

Search both forward from untrusted input and backward from sensitive effects.

Account for compiler transformations

Expect inlining, tail calls, thunks, split functions, merged constants, stack-slot reuse, dead-code elimination, exception tables, link-time optimization, and control-flow flattening. Rename functions and types only with confidence annotations. Preserve raw addresses and image bases so another analyst can reproduce references.

Diff by semantics

For patches, normalize addresses and compiler noise; compare control-flow shape, constants, call targets, bounds, validation order, error handling, and data structure layout. Trace the changed invariant outward to sibling functions and older product branches. A one-line source fix may compile into several sites, while a large binary diff may be toolchain noise.

Use binary_diff compare_programs, changed_functions, changed_calls, and changed_constants to retain reproducible first-pass evidence. Use security_candidates only to prioritize manual validation; its heuristic label is not a finding. Confirm decisive changes in Ghidra listings or raw disassembly.

Deliver

Preserve hashes, loader options, analysis database/project, script versions, architecture assumptions, annotated functions, raw disassembly at decisive sites, xrefs, dynamic traces, unresolved indirect calls, and confidence. Report the earliest violated invariant and a reproducible input or state when possible.
