competition-race-condition-state-drift

competition-race-condition-state-drift is a skill for Codex from Asaiuta/reverse-workbench-skill. It costs 105 tokens per session (556 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of competition-race-condition-state-drift, MIT.

A specialized workflow for capture-the-flag exercises involving race conditions, where timing or concurrent actions cause state to become inconsistent. It examines shared data, locks, retries, idempotency, caches, queues, and transaction boundaries after a broader sandbox setup is active.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce timing-sensitive bugs, compare normal and racing runs, trace read-check-write sequences, and prove the final state change from a clean reset.
Why use it?
It helps show exactly how overlapping operations produce stale or incorrect state instead of relying on a vague timing explanation.

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

competition-race-condition-state-drift scanned grade A with 0 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 10d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Competition Race Condition State Drift

Use this skill only as a downstream specialization after $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator is already active and has established sandbox assumptions, node ownership, and evidence priorities. If that has not happened yet, return to $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator first.

Use this skill when the decisive behavior depends on request timing, async ordering, lock gaps, or stale state.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

  1. Identify mutable state first: rows, cache keys, queue payloads, session fields, counters, or files.
  2. Reproduce with smallest concurrent sequence and fixed timing assumptions.
  3. Capture one baseline run and one racing run with only one variable changed.
  4. Track read, check, write, enqueue, and commit boundaries separately.
  5. Prove final state drift from a clean reset.

Workflow

1. Map Mutable Boundaries

  • Record transaction scope, lock behavior, retry logic, idempotency keys, cache invalidation, and queue handoff.
  • Note where read-check-write is split across requests, workers, or services.
  • Keep each boundary tied to exact timestamps or sequence numbers.

2. Reproduce Timing Window

  • Build deterministic concurrent inputs with controlled delay, duplicate requests, or reordered worker execution.
  • Compare accepted and rejected paths under identical payloads.
  • Record which condition flips when ordering changes.

3. Reduce To Decisive Race Chain

  • Compress to: request A and B ordering -> stale check or lock gap -> conflicting writes -> resulting capability or artifact.
  • State whether root cause is missing lock, weak idempotency, stale cache read, delayed async commit, or retry side effect.
  • If the path becomes queue-dominant, hand off to queue worker drift skill.

Read This Reference

  • Load references/race-condition-state-drift.md for race harness ideas, evidence blocks, and parity checks.

What To Preserve

  • Mutable keys, transaction boundaries, lock behavior, and idempotency markers
  • Timestamped or sequenced traces for baseline and race runs
  • One minimal replayable concurrent sequence proving drift

Changes

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.
