solve-challenge

Solid

Solves CTF challenges by performing first-pass triage, identifying the dominant category, and routing execution to the right specialized ctf-* skill. Use when the user gives you a challenge bundle, a remote service, a suspicious file, or only a vague challenge description and you must determine where to start. Do not use it when the category is already clear and a specialized skill can be invoked directly; this is the dispatcher and recon entrypoint, not the deepest reference for category-specific techniques.

# CTF Challenge Solver You're a skilled CTF player. Your goal is to solve the challenge and find the flag. ## Environment Setup Two setup strategies depending on your workflow: ### Pre-install (recommended before competitions) Use the central installer entrypoint: ```bash bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh all ``` Run a narrower mode when you only want one tool group: ```bash bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh python bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh apt bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh brew bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh gems bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh go bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh manual ``` The full package lists now live in [scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh](../scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh). ### On-demand (during challenges) Each category skill's `SKILL.md` has a **Prerequisites** section listing only the tools needed for that category. Install as you go. ## Workflow ### Step 0: CTFd Platform Detection If the CTF platform URL is known, check if it runs CTFd and switch to API-driven navigation: ```bash # Detect CTFd (look for /api/v1/ and /themes/core/) curl -s "$CTF_URL/api/v1/" | head -5 curl -s "$CTF_URL" | grep -oE '/themes/core/' ``` If CTFd is detected, **ask the user for their API token** (generated from CTFd Settings > Access Tokens). The token is not provided by default — the user must create one in the CTFd web UI first. Once provided, set the environment variables and proceed via API: ```bash export CTF_URL="https://ctf.example.com" ...

ctf-misc

Provides miscellaneous CTF challenge techniques for problems that do not cleanly fit the main categories. Use for encoding puzzles, pyjails, bash jails, RF/SDR, DNS oddities, unicode tricks, esoteric languages, QR or audio puzzles, constraint solving, game theory, unusual sandbox escapes, and hybrid logic puzzles. Prefer a more specific skill first when the challenge is mainly web, pwn, reverse, forensics, malware, OSINT, or crypto. Treat this as the fallback skill for genuine cross-category or edge-case challenges, not the default starting point.
