BC binary-analysis
Analyze unknown binary files through a deterministic CLI that wraps Ghidra's static-analysis engine. Use when you need to inspect a PE, ELF, or Mach-O file — triage suspicious binaries, map imported APIs, decompile functions, trace call paths, or produce structured evidence reports. Do not use for runtime analysis (debugging, dynamic tracing, sandbox execution), for modifying or patching binaries, or for binaries you already know everything about. The skill owns planning, hypothesis formation, and evidence synthesis; the CLI owns all deterministic operations.

As a process C 57/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, progress reporting
How to improve
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
✓ No remarks against the Agent Skills spec
Process rating: all ten parameters 57/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Failures and branches. 4 branches
- 100Steps. 30 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3521 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
