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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00075 | $0.00724 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00362 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
scripting-ida-with-idapython 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 5d 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.
What it actually says
Scripting IDA Pro With IDAPython
When to Use
- You use IDA Pro and want to automate repetitive analysis — enumerate functions, decode strings, apply signature-based renames, and export results — via IDAPython.
- You need a headless
idatbatch invocation to process many samples.
Do not use IDA's debugger (-r) on untrusted samples on your host — these scripts drive
static analysis. Work in an isolated environment.
Prerequisites
- IDA Pro with IDAPython, and the samples to analyze.
Safety & Handling
- IDA static analysis does not execute the sample; keep the input directory isolated.
Workflow
Step 1: Generate an analysis script
python scripts/analyst.py script --emit functions,strings --out ida_export.py
Emits an IDAPython script using the real API (idautils.Functions, idc.get_func_name,
idautils.Strings) that writes results to JSON next to the IDB.
Step 2: Generate the headless batch command
python scripts/analyst.py batch --script ida_export.py --input sample.exe
Builds the idat -A -S"script" input invocation (auto-mode, run script, no UI) for batch runs.
Step 3: Run and collect
Execute the batch command per sample and aggregate the JSON exports.
Step 4: Iterate
Extend the generated script with signature renames (FLIRT) and decompiler (ida_hexrays) output
as needed.
Validation
- The generated script uses real IDAPython API calls.
- The batch command uses
-A(auto) and-S(script) correctly. - JSON output is produced per processed IDB.
Pitfalls
- IDAPython API drift between IDA 7.x and 9.x — target your version.
- Forgetting
-Aleaves IDA waiting for interactive input in batch. - Decompiler calls require a licensed Hex-Rays decompiler.
References
- See
references/api-reference.mdfor the generator. - IDAPython and idat batch references (linked in frontmatter).
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

scripting-ida-with-idapython is a skill published in the GitHub repository meltedinhex/analyst-ai-pack (22 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 724 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
