binary-re:tool-setup SKILL.md skillA

binary-re:tool-setup from 2389-research/binary-re is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add 2389-research/binary-re/binary-re:tool-setup@git:20260706.1bbfa9b

Pins git:20260706.1bbfa9b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Installs and configures reverse engineering tools including radare2, Ghidra, GDB, QEMU, Frida, and cross-compilation toolchains for ARM64, ARMv7, x86_64, and MIPS. Use when a tool command fails, a required tool is missing, or you need to set up a fresh analysis environment.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Tool Setup

## Purpose

Ensure required reverse engineering tools are available and properly configured for cross-architecture analysis.

## When to Use

- Before first analysis session
- When tool commands fail
- Setting up new analysis environment
- Updating to newer tool versions

## Required Tools

| Tool | Purpose | Priority |
|------|---------|----------|
| radare2 | Static analysis, disassembly | **Required** |
| rabin2 | Fast binary triage | **Required** (part of r2) |
| qemu-user | Cross-arch emulation | **Required** |
| gdb-multiarch | Cross-arch debugging | **Required** |
| Ghidra | Decompilation | Recommended |
| GEF | GDB enhancements | Recommended |
| Frida | Dynamic instrumentation | Optional |
| Unicorn | Snippet emulation | Optional |
| Angr | Symbolic execution | Optional |

## Installation by Platform

### Ubuntu/Debian

```bash
# Core tools
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y \
  radare2 \
  qemu-user \
  qemu-user-static \
  gdb-multiarch \
  binutils-multiarch \
  jq                    # Required for JSON parsing in skill commands

# ARM sysroots (for QEMU)
sudo apt install -y \
  libc6-armhf-cross \
  libc6-arm64-cross \

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add 2389-research/binary-re/binary-re:tool-setup@sha256:0843074654aa00c6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260706.1bbfa9b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
