Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Provides binary exploitation techniques for CTF challenges. Use when you already have a vulnerable native target or service and need to turn memory corruption or low-level primitives into code execution or privilege escalation, such as buffer overflows, format strings, heap bugs, ROP, ret2libc, shellcode, kernel exploitation, seccomp bypass, sandbox escape, or Windows/Linux exploit chains. Do not use it when the main blocker is understanding what the binary does; use reverse engineering first. …

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ctf-pwn' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ctf-pwn' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ctf-pwn already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/ljagiello/ctf-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'e79be2925d1612e8a97070d6201e300286672370' -- 'ctf-pwn' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'ctf-pwn' ~/.agents/skills/'ctf-pwn' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'ctf-pwn' ~/.claude/skills/'ctf-pwn' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
