What it does

Operate Native Fuzzing is an agent skill from cyberful/cyberful. Operate AFL++, libFuzzer with Clang sanitizers, and Jazzer for advanced coverage-guided native and JVM fuzzing. Use when designing harnesses, constructing and minimizing corpora, diagnosing coverage plateaus, selecting sanitizers or instrumentation modes, fuzzing parsers and state machines, deduplicating crashes, or turning audit hypotheses into deterministic regression cases.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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/fuzzing-fieldbook.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Fuzzing. 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

  • Designing harnesses
  • Constructing and minimizing corpora
  • Diagnosing coverage plateaus
  • Selecting sanitizers

Example prompts

  • “/operate-native-fuzzing”

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 Native Fuzzing loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 557 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

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 Native Fuzzing

The harness defines the reachable security model. Optimize semantic depth and reproducibility before execution speed; a fast harness that never crosses initialization, checksum, or parser state boundaries produces false assurance efficiently.

Write the harness contract

Document target function and build, input framing, state reset, environment, allocator, thread model, timeout, maximum input, expected rejects, external side effects, and invariants. Remove network, clock, randomness, process-global caches, and nondeterministic concurrency unless they are the property under test.

For structured formats, expose bytes at the earliest production parser boundary while retaining real downstream validation and object use. Do not replace the parser with a fuzzer-specific decoder that cannot represent production bugs. Validate source harness syntax and ABI with harness_validate; compile opaque production types against their real headers instead of guessing their size or layout.

Choose the engine deliberately

  • Use libFuzzer for in-process C/C++ targets with tight sanitizer and coverage integration.
  • Use AFL++ when fork/persistent modes, binary-only modes, distributed queues, custom mutators, CmpLog, or file/process harnesses fit better.
  • Use Jazzer for JVM targets, Java/Kotlin parsers, and sanitizer hooks for injection/deserialization-style behavior.

Read references/fuzzing-fieldbook.md for harness diagnostics and plateau recovery.

Use fuzz_campaign start for a phase-owned background campaign, then status, coverage, and crashes instead of launching an untracked daemon. Create a checkpoint before handoff. Use pause, resume, and stop for lifecycle control; the bridge reaps any surviving process when the phase closes.

Build the instrumentation matrix

Create reproducible debug symbols and separate ASan/UBSan, MSan where the whole dependency graph supports it, and coverage-focused builds. Treat sanitizer incompatibilities and optimized release-only behavior explicitly. For native code reached through JVM/JNI, fuzz and symbolize both sides.

Compile AFL++ targets with afl-clang-fast or afl-clang-fast++, and libFuzzer targets with Clang plus fuzzer and sanitizer flags. Keep raw compiler invocations in evidence.

Seed for grammar and state

Start with valid minimal examples spanning format versions, optional sections, boundary sizes, encodings, compression, nested structures, and semantic states. Minimize only after confirming that rare states and coverage are retained. Add dictionaries for tokens; use custom mutators when checksums, length fields, or dependent structures block progress.

Diagnose plateaus

Measure executions, edge/feature growth, corpus growth, reject-stage distribution, input length, stability, and time per seed. Instrument milestones inside the harness or target. Apply comparison tracing/CmpLog, value profiles, dictionaries, corpus surgery, targeted seeds, state snapshots, or a better boundary based on the blocking predicate.

Triage and prove crashes

Reproduce outside the fuzzer with the exact build and environment; minimize while preserving the same root cause; symbolize; identify first invalid state rather than final crash; deduplicate by causal frame/data invariant; test sanitizer-independent behavior where relevant; and create a regression case.

Use crash_triage for reproduction, symbolization, classification, deduplication, minimization, and evidence export. A campaign crash list is discovery evidence, never a confirmed vulnerability.

Keep transport success, fuzzing runner status, target-process exit, sanitizer observation, and infrastructure failure as distinct facts. Preserve the raw target exit and sanitizer output as primary evidence; runner summaries and ad hoc classifiers are derived evidence and cannot silently override it. Prefer crash_triage over a custom classifier when the operation fits its contract, and record any disagreement against the hypothesis oracle explicitly.

Deliver

Preserve source/build hash, compiler, flags, harness, corpus provenance, engine configuration, coverage and stability metrics, crash input, minimized reproducer, sanitizer log, root-cause trace, and untested state space. "No crashes" is only meaningful with the harness and coverage evidence attached.
