## Overview

ctf-skills is a collection of Agent Skills and technique guides for solving CTF challenges, with example scripts for selected workflows. The user selects a relevant skill, consults its category guidance and techniques, then applies them to a challenge using the listed tools. The graph preserves the README’s major skill categories and notable script capabilities. Source excerpts are limited, so relationships between individual guides and their parent skills are not inferred beyond the documented collection structure.

Main entry points: [`ctf-web/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/ljagiello/ctf-skills/blob/main/ctf-web/SKILL.md) (Web exploitation), [`ctf-pwn/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/ljagiello/ctf-skills/blob/main/ctf-pwn/SKILL.md) (Binary exploitation), [`ctf-web/scripts/async_fuzz.py`](https://github.com/ljagiello/ctf-skills/blob/main/ctf-web/scripts/async_fuzz.py) (Async web fuzzer), [`ctf-pwn/scripts`](https://github.com/ljagiello/ctf-skills/tree/main/ctf-pwn/scripts) (Payload scripts)
