ghidra

ghidra is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mitsuhiko/agent-stuff. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,938 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A headless Ghidra workflow for reverse engineering compiled programs, meaning examining executables when the original source code is unavailable. It runs Ghidra without its graphical interface to analyse binaries and export findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse an executable, list its functions, extract strings and symbols, generate a call graph, or export decompiled code. Ghidra and Java 17 or newer must already be installed.
Why use it?
It makes repeatable command-line analysis possible and avoids manually inspecting every result in the GUI. It can expose program structure such as functions, strings, symbols, decompiled C-like code, and call relationships.

About the project

Agent Stuff is a personal package of reusable skills, extensions, prompt commands, themes, and utilities for the Pi Coding Agent. Its author uses these tools across projects, and the catalogue entries are components from this package that support that workflow.

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

ghidra 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/find-ghidra.sh, scripts/ghidra-analyze.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Ghidra Headless Analysis Skill

Perform automated reverse engineering using Ghidra's analyzeHeadless tool. Import binaries, run analysis, decompile to C code, and extract useful information.

Quick Reference

Task Command
Full analysis with all exports ghidra-analyze.sh -s ExportAll.java -o ./output binary
Decompile to C code ghidra-analyze.sh -s ExportDecompiled.java -o ./output binary
List functions ghidra-analyze.sh -s ExportFunctions.java -o ./output binary
Extract strings ghidra-analyze.sh -s ExportStrings.java -o ./output binary
Get call graph ghidra-analyze.sh -s ExportCalls.java -o ./output binary
Export symbols ghidra-analyze.sh -s ExportSymbols.java -o ./output binary
Find Ghidra path find-ghidra.sh

Prerequisites

  • Ghidra must be installed. On macOS: brew install --cask ghidra
  • Java (OpenJDK 17+) must be available

The skill automatically locates Ghidra in common installation paths. Set GHIDRA_HOME environment variable if Ghidra is installed in a non-standard location.


Main Wrapper Script

./scripts/ghidra-analyze.sh [options] <binary>

Wrapper that handles project creation/cleanup and provides a simpler interface to analyzeHeadless.

Options:

  • -o, --output <dir> - Output directory for results (default: current dir)
  • -s, --script <name> - Post-analysis script to run (can be repeated)
  • -a, --script-args <args> - Arguments for the last specified script
  • --script-path <path> - Additional script search path
  • -p, --processor <id> - Processor/architecture (e.g., x86:LE:32:default)
  • -c, --cspec <id> - Compiler spec (e.g., gcc, windows)
  • --no-analysis - Skip auto-analysis (faster, but less info)
  • --timeout <seconds> - Analysis timeout per file
  • --keep-project - Keep the Ghidra project after analysis
  • --project-dir <dir> - Directory for Ghidra project (default: /tmp)
  • --project-name <name> - Project name (default: auto-generated)
  • -v, --verbose - Verbose output

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.

ghidra is a skill published in the GitHub repository mitsuhiko/agent-stuff (3,056 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,938 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
