CS2_VibeSignatures: Skill for Claude Code

Generate Signature for VFunc Offset

Generate a unique hex byte signature that locates an instruction containing a specific vfunc offset (for example: call qword ptr [rax+538h]).

Core Concept

For vfunc-offset signatures, we signature the instruction containing the vfunc offset, not the function body itself.

Hard requirements:

1. The target instruction must be fully fixed (no wildcard bytes at all).
2. The displacement bytes carrying vfuncoffset in the target instruction must be explicitly included (not wildcarded).
3. Instructions other than the target instruction may use wildcarding.
4. Signature length grows by complete instruction boundaries and stops at the shortest unique prefix.

Strategy:

• Forward-only expansion: Expand only forward (after target instruction). The signature may extend beyond the current function boundary into CC padding or the next function. vfunc_sig_disp is always 0 — the signature always starts at the target instruction.

Prerequisites

• Target instruction address (the instruction that contains vfunc offset)
• Expected vfuncoffset value (e.g. 0x538)
• IDA Pro MCP connection

Method

1. Generate and Validate Signature (Single Step)

Use a single py_eval call that:

• Validates the input instruction contains the expected vfuncoffset displacement.
• Collects instruction bytes from the target instruction forward, tests uniqueness.
• Forward-only expansion (no backward expansion — vfunc_sig_disp is always 0).
• Enforces no wildcard on the target instruction.
• Computes both VA and RVA for the target instruction.
• Outputs the shortest unique signature as vfunc_sig with metadata.
