ctxdebug CLAUDE.md

Instructions for a system that connects AI assistants to Windows debugging and reverse-engineering tools such as WinDbg, IDA Pro, and x64dbg. Reverse engineering means examining compiled software to understand how it works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding debugger connections, changing MCP servers, working with Windows security research tools, or running the multi-debugger controller.
Why use it?
They explain the repository layout, language rules, and ways to start or extend its debugging servers, reducing setup mistakes when working across several tools.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ctxdebug CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

python -c "import urllib.request; print(urllib.request.urlopen('http://localhost:2022/api/v1/py', timeout=3))"

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

python -c "import subprocess; print(subprocess.run(['C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Debuggers\\x64\\cdb.exe', '-version'], capture_output=True, text=True).stdout[:80])"

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 447 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MCO — Multi-debugger Controller Orchestrator

MCP server platform that connects WinDbg, IDA Pro 9.x, and x64dbg to Claude AI for AI-assisted reverse engineering and Windows security research.

Owner: Windows security researcher (heap exploitation, anti-debug). Language policy: Code and docs in English only.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ctxdebug CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository DdUdle/ctxdebug (23 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,375 tokens to every session, about $0.0269 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
