What this skill does
Protocol Reverse Engineering Comprehensive techniques for capturing, analyzing, and documenting network protocols for security research, interoperability, and debugging. Use this skill when Working on protocol reverse engineering tasks or workflows Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for protocol reverse engineering Do not use this skill when The task is unrelated to protocol reverse engineering You need a different domain or tool outside this scope Instructions Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. Provide actionable steps and verification. If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md. Resources resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples. Limitations Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
