Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
The dwarf-debug-format skill allows AI agents to parse and interpret DWARF debug information. This enables the agent to extract detailed debugging data from compiled binaries, including variable values, source code locations, and function arguments. It facilitates deeper analysis of program behavior during runtime or post-mortem debugging scenarios.
When to use it
- Reverse Engineering: Analyze binary executables to understand their functionality without access to source code.
- Bug Hunting: Extract precise information about the state of a program at the point of failure, aiding in root cause analysis.
- Performance Profiling: Identify performance bottlenecks by examining function call stacks and variable usage patterns.
- Security Auditing: Investigate potential vulnerabilities within compiled code by inspecting debug symbols.
Key capabilities
- Parsing DWARF information from ELF binaries.
- Extracting source location (file and line number) for variables and functions.
- Retrieving variable values at specific program addresses.
- Decoding function arguments from the debugging data.
Example prompts
- "Analyze this binary and tell me the value of 'user_input' at address 0x401234."
- "Show me the source code location where variable 'count' is defined in this executable."
- "What were the arguments passed to function 'process_data' when it was called?"
Tips & gotchas
- The binary must contain DWARF debug information for this skill to be effective. Not all binaries are compiled with debugging symbols enabled.
- Understanding of ELF file format and DWARF structure will improve interpretation of the results.
