⚡ For AI agents only. If you are a human reader, go back to README.md (English) or README_zh.md (中文).
This file contains the bootstrap instructions, deployment routing, and behavior chain for AI agents. If you are an AI agent (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Kiro, etc.), execute section 0 immediately after finishing this file.
AI Community: https://linux.do
This package can be placed in any directory. The AI will automatically detect its actual path. In the following text,
<SKILL_ROOT>refers to your real installation path.
After the AI finishes reading this file, it must automatically execute the following configuration process and then report what was changed. The user does not need to operate manually.
⚠️ FIRST-TIME SETUP:
skills/tool-index.mdis gitignored and does NOT exist in the cloned repo until you generate it.
Before reading RULES.md, you MUST first refresh the local tool index:
- Windows:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.ps1- Linux/macOS:
bash skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh- Kali:
bash kali/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh
This generatesskills/tool-index.mdandskills/tool-index.jsonfor the current machine. Without this step, RULES.md will fail to read tool-index.md and routing will be broken.
0. ⚠️ Run refresh-tool-index first to generate skills/tool-index.md (see warning above)
1. Detect the actual installation path of this package (derived from the location of this file, i.e., the directory containing README.md)
2. Detect the local operating system and distribution:
- Windows → continue with this README and the PowerShell script path
- Kali Linux → read kali/README-kali.md
- Generic Linux (Ubuntu / Debian / Mint / Pop!_OS, etc.) → read docs/platforms/linux.md
- macOS → read docs/platforms/macos.md
- Other / unknown → read docs/PLATFORMS.md and choose the closest deployment path
3. Follow the platform-specific deployment document to check toolchains, script entry points, MCP configuration, and path conventions
4. If the current system supports Bash, prefer the parity bootstrap entry: bash skills/scripts/bootstrap-reverse.sh <capability>; for index refresh only, run: bash skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh
5. Read RULES.md → execute all instructions inside it (CRITICAL block, global injection, precedent-auth, routing)
6. Route via skills/MASTER-ROUTING.md or:
- Windows: `powershell -File skills/scripts/master-route.ps1 -Hint "<task>"`
- Linux/macOS/Kali: open MASTER-ROUTING.md (or run the same script under pwsh if available)
7. **Ops gate (MUST):** `powershell -File skills/scripts/case-init.ps1 -Hint "<task>"` (or hand-write `work/<case>/scope.md` per `skills/ops/scope-contract.md`).
Set `auth.status=granted` + `network_profile` before any target ACT. Evidence chain: `skills/ops/evidence-finding-path.md`. Roles: `skills/ops/role-map.md`. Identity: `skills/ops/IDENTITY.md`.
8. Open PRIMARY SKILL.md → execute ACTION REQUIRED. Append timeline/workitems under the case dir.
9. Continue the behavior chain → report via docs-generator + field-journal.
| Detection result | Signal | Required deployment document | Detection / deployment entry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | PowerShell, $env:OS, Windows paths |
README_AI.md |
skills/scripts/*.ps1 |
| Kali Linux | /etc/os-release contains kali |
kali/README-kali.md |
kali/scripts/bootstrap-reverse.sh / kali/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh |
| Ubuntu / Debian / Mint / Pop!_OS | /etc/os-release contains the distro ID |
docs/platforms/linux.md |
skills/scripts/bootstrap-reverse.sh / skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh |
| macOS | uname -s = Darwin |
docs/platforms/macos.md |
skills/scripts/bootstrap-reverse.sh / skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh |
| Other / unknown | Cannot identify confidently | docs/PLATFORMS.md |
Choose the closest platform, then continue |
RULES.md contains the full behavior chain (steps 0–14). After reading this file, first complete OS detection and platform-document routing, then read RULES.md and start executing. Do not stop at "configuration completed." The configuration report can be output after platform detection and RULES.md loading, but it is not the endpoint—the endpoint is the user's task being actually completed.
✅ **Reverse-Engineering Skill Routing Pack Configured Successfully**
**Installation path**: C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\reverse-skill
**System detected**: Windows / Kali Linux / generic Linux / macOS / other
**Deployment document**: <actual platform document read>
**Tool status**:
- Available: node, python, pip, ...
- Missing (auto-install when needed): jadx, radare2, ...
- Missing (manual installation required): zipalign, apksigner, IDA Pro
**Tool index**: <tool-index.md / tool-index.json path>
**Rules written to**: <write location>
**Note**: Future reverse-engineering / penetration-testing / security tasks will be routed automatically. Missing tools will be installed automatically when needed.
**Ops**: Before target ACT, ensure case scope (`case-init` / `ops/scope-contract`) has auth granted + network_profile.
This is not a "single-tool installer." It is a security-task Skill Router for code Agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Cline, and Windsurf: classify the task, enter the right workflow, then call real tools to execute.
It solves two problems:
| Platform | Status | Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Full primary path | README_AI.md, PowerShell scripts |
| Kali Linux | Specialized support | kali/README-kali.md, kali/scripts/bootstrap-reverse.sh, kali/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh |
| Ubuntu / Debian Linux | Generic support | docs/platforms/linux.md, skills/scripts/bootstrap-reverse.sh, skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh |
| macOS | Generic support | docs/platforms/macos.md, skills/scripts/bootstrap-reverse.sh, skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh |
Generic Linux/macOS users can list bootstrap capabilities with:
bash skills/scripts/bootstrap-reverse.sh --list
Kali users should use the dedicated Kali entrypoint:
bash kali/scripts/bootstrap-reverse.sh
For index refresh only, run:
bash skills/scripts/refresh-tool-index.sh
See docs/PLATFORMS.md for the full support matrix.
At present, it is recommended to understand the whole package as two layers:

If you also use the CTF knowledge base, it is recommended to place it under the root of this package (the current default structure):
<package root>\
├── skills\ # Main skills directory
├── CTF-Sandbox-Orchestrator\ # CTF competition sub-skills (40+)
└── README_AI.md
This allows the relative paths in routing.md, such as ../CTF-Sandbox-Orchestrator/..., to resolve correctly from skills/.
If you place
CTF-Sandbox-Orchestratoroutside this package, such asF:\CTF-Sandbox-Orchestrator\, you need to manually adjust the relative paths inrouting.md.
<package root>\skills\SKILL.mdSKILL.mdrouting.mdSKILL.md in the corresponding subdirectorytool-index.md only when you need to confirm local toolsYou need at least:
SKILL.md, routing.md, and tool-index.mdIf you already have Claude hooks, Codex CLI project instructions, Cursor Rules, Cline custom instructions, or Windsurf Rules, update any old paths inside them to the current installation path.

This package only assumes that it eventually exposes an MCP endpoint such as: http://localhost:23816/mcp
jshookmcp is not a standalone main entry point. It is an enhanced execution surface for js-reverse.
{
"mcpServers": {
"jshook": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@jshookmcp/jshook@0.3.4"],
"env": { "JSHOOK_BASE_PROFILE": "search" }
}
}
}
Common scripts:
apk-reverse\scripts\decode.ps1apk-reverse\scripts\frida-run.ps1apk-reverse\scripts\rebuild-sign-install.ps1apk-reverse\scripts\manifest-summary.ps1After migration, verify first:
jadx --version
apktool --version
adb version
frida-ps -U
Whether you use Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, or another code AI client, what you actually need to integrate are these four things:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anything-analyzer": { "url": "http://localhost:23816/mcp" },
"idapro": { "url": "http://127.0.0.1:13337/mcp" },
"jshook": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@jshookmcp/jshook@0.3.4"], "env": { "JSHOOK_BASE_PROFILE": "search" } },
"burpsuite": { "command": "node", "args": ["<package root>/burp-mcp-full/mcp-bridge.js"] }
}
}
No matter how you inject instructions, at minimum tell the AI about these three entry files:
skills\SKILL.mdskills\routing.mdskills\tool-index.mdClaude Code is the best fit for directly connecting this package. If you already have .claude\settings.local.json, .claude\mcp.json, RULES.md, or route-reverse.ps1, only update old paths to the current installation path.
These tools can also reuse this package as long as they satisfy two conditions:
The key is to inject: package path, key entry files, MCP addresses, and "route first, execute second."
<package root>\...<user directory>\...D:\APP\IDA\skills\ida-reverse\scripts\start.ps1skills\ida-reverse\scripts\open.ps1If you have configured .claude\settings.local.json or .claude\scripts\route-reverse.ps1, update all old paths after migration.
After migration, run again:
powershell -File "<your skill root>\skills\scripts\refresh-tool-index.ps1"
java -version
python --version
pip --version
node -v
npx -v
jadx --version
apktool --version
adb version
frida-ps -U
IDA chain:
powershell -File "<your skill root>\ida-reverse\scripts\start.ps1"
Tool index:
powershell -File "<your skill root>\skills\scripts\refresh-tool-index.ps1"
Q1: Can I put skills on another drive?
Yes, but update every absolute path that references it.
Q2: tool-index.md says yes; why still can't Claude call the tool?
Because it only means the local machine has the executable. The tool may not be registered in MCP configuration.
Q3: Is IDA required?
No. Binary analysis can start with radare2.
Q4: What is the difference between anything-analyzer and jshookmcp? anything-analyzer: browser automation + HTTP capture. jshookmcp: JS runtime / CDP / Hook / AST.

When any of the following conditions is met, the AI must automatically write back experience:
Note: field-journal write-back and docs-generator report generation are two different things:
- field-journal: experience accumulation for the system itself
- docs-generator: formal technical document for users/teams
Each write-back must contain: date, scenario category, goal summary, complete execution chain, pitfall records, toolchain findings, key code/commands, improvement suggestions, reusable patterns, and evolution actions.
Each time a new field-journal entry is added, update field-journal/_index.md with: scenario category, keywords, and summary.
Before starting a new task, check field-journal/_index.md. If historical records exist for the same type of scenario, read the corresponding logs first.
The complete behavior chain is defined in RULES.md under "Complete Behavior Chain (Canonical)" (steps 0–14).
Core points:
precedent-auth.md to confirm authorization contextagent-obedience-engineering.mdThese are not recommendations; they are mandatory workflow steps. Skipping any step degrades the system.
When the AI tries to auto-complete installation and still fails, it must not stay silent or retry endlessly. It must immediately switch to "guide the user to configure manually" mode with structured guidance.
1. Call bootstrap-reverse.ps1 to attempt automatic installation
2. Verify whether the tool is usable after installation
3. If it is still unavailable → do not retry → immediately output structured guidance
⚠️ **[Tool Name] automatic installation failed. Manual action is required.**
**Problem**: [Specific error message]
**Possible causes**:
- [Cause 1, e.g. network unavailable]
- [Cause 2, e.g. missing prerequisite]
**Manual installation steps**:
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
**After verification succeeds, tell me and I will continue the current task.**
The README.md contains full guidance for:
When the MCP service port is different from the expected one, ask for the actual port and help update configuration.
