skill

solve-challenge

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.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Will this work with your setup?

No harness stated by the author and no install path convention detected. Compatibility is untested.

We have not run this skill against a task with and without it enabled, so we cannot tell you whether it improves anything, what it costs in tokens, or whether it duplicates behaviour your harness already has. When we have run that test, the result will appear on this page with the task, the versions and the budget it used.
