rev-idapython

IDAPython and IDALib script reference for reverse engineering. Activate when the user needs to write IDAPython scripts in IDA, use IDALib for headless analysis, operate on IDB databases, debug with IDA, manipulate memory/registers, traverse functions/blocks/instructions, work with Hex-Rays decompiler API, handle obfuscation, or batch-process binaries.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a well-organized, executable IDAPython/IDALib reference: lean, action-packed code snippets grouped by clear sections with no fluff and no over-explanation. It serves its single purpose as a code lookup reference efficiently.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is a dense code reference with almost no prose padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows (e.g. what IDA or Python is); every snippet earns its place, matching the lean-and-efficient anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

Snippets are fully executable with concrete imports, real API calls (ida_funcs, ida_hexrays, idc, idautils), and copy-paste-ready function definitions, matching the 'fully executable code' anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

As a reference catalog rather than a destructive multi-step process, content is organized into clearly sequenced topical sections, and the IDALib batch-decompile snippet even includes an explicit retry loop; the destructive-operation cap-at-2 does not apply to a lookup skill.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files are present, so the self-contained body is appropriately organized into well-labeled one-level sections (Common API, Code Snippets, Import Table, Type Information, Hex-Rays, etc.) with no nested references, which is sufficient for a reference skill.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is specific, complete, and distinct: it lists concrete capabilities, includes explicit 'Activate when...' trigger guidance, and is tightly scoped to IDAPython/IDALib reverse engineering. It avoids vagueness and first/second person voice.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions including 'write IDAPython scripts', 'use IDALib for headless analysis', 'operate on IDB databases', 'debug with IDA', 'manipulate memory/registers', and 'work with Hex-Rays decompiler API', matching the anchor for listing several specific actions rather than naming only a domain.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' ('IDAPython and IDALib script reference for reverse engineering') and 'when' ('Activate when the user needs to...') with an explicit trigger clause, satisfying the highest anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural terms a reverse engineer would actually say — 'IDAPython', 'IDALib', 'IDA', 'IDB databases', 'Hex-Rays decompiler', 'obfuscation', 'batch-process binaries' — give good coverage of common variations, satisfying the highest anchor.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (IDAPython/IDALib reverse engineering) with distinct triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, matching the 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor.
