Searches for similar CTF challenge writeups using Tavily API for search and content extraction. Use when the user requests finding related challenges, when solve-challenge has failed multiple times and needs reference solutions, or when first identifying a challenge type and seeking examples.

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

# CTF Similar Challenge Search

Search for similar CTF challenge writeups using Tavily API.

## Prerequisites

```bash
pip install requests tavily
```

Set your Tavily API key (from https://tavily.com) before running:

```bash
export TAVILY_API_KEY='tvly-...'
```

## API Overview

This skill provides two interfaces:

| Interface | Purpose | Command |
|-----------|---------|---------|
| **Tavily Search** | Search for writeups and articles | `./scripts/search.sh search <keyword>` |
| **Tavily Extract** | Extract content from URLs | `./scripts/search.sh extract <url1> [url2] ...` |

## Search Workflow

### Step 1: Search with Keywords

Choose keywords based on available information:

#### Scenario 1: Known Competition + Challenge Name
```bash
# Format: [Competition Name] [Challenge Name] — max 3 words
./scripts/search.sh search "DASCTF URL Storage"
./scripts/search.sh search "HGAME baby web"
./scripts/search.sh search "BUUCTF pwn1"
```

#### Scenario 2: Challenge Name Only (no competition info)
```bash
# Use challenge name directly — max 3 words
./scripts/search.sh search "URL Storage"
./scripts/search.sh search "baby overflow"
./scripts/search.sh search "crypto-rsa"
```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add naravid19/claude-ctf-skills/ctf-similar-search@sha256:4d64a97efffbb318

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.904fd35, 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.
