## From README

Binary Analysis Patterns Comprehensive patterns and techniques for analyzing compiled binaries, understanding assembly code, and reconstructing program logic. When to Use This Skill Reverse-engineering an unknown executable to understand its behavior Analyzing malware or obfuscated binaries with Ghidra / IDA Pro / Binary Ninja Recognizing common assembly idioms (function prologues, switch tables, vtable dispatch) Reconstructing high-level control flow from compiled code Identifying compiler-introduced patterns (stack canaries, PIC trampolines) Detailed section: Disassembly Fundamentals Originally a 2047-byte section in this SKILL.md. Moved to references/details.md to fit Codex's 8 KB skill body cap.
