# CTF Write-up Generator
Generate a standardized submission-style CTF writeup for a solved challenge.
Default behavior:
- During an active competition, optimize for speed, clarity, and reproducibility
- Keep writeups short enough that a teammate or organizer can validate the solve quickly
- Always produce a `submission`-style writeup
- Prefer one complete solve script from challenge data to final flag
## Workflow
### Step 1: Gather Information
Collect the following from the current session, challenge files, and user input:
1. **Challenge metadata** — name, CTF event, category, difficulty, points, flag format
2. **Solution artifacts** — exploit scripts, payloads, screenshots, command output
3. **Timeline** — key steps taken, dead ends, pivots
```bash
# Scan for exploit scripts and artifacts
find . -name '*.py' -o -name '*.sh' -o -name 'exploit*' -o -name 'solve*' | head -20
# Check for flags in output files
grep -rniE '(flag|ctf|eno|htb|pico)\{' . 2>/dev/null
```
### Step 2: Generate Write-up
Write the writeup file as `writeup.md` (or `writeup-<challenge-name>.md`) using the submission template below.
---

### Submission Format

## Flag
\`\`\`
flag{example_flag_here}
\`\`\`
```
Guidance:
- Prefer 1-3 short steps total
- Keep code to the smallest complete solving script
- Do not split "recover secret", "derive key", and "decrypt flag" into separate partial snippets
- The script should start from the challenge data and end by printing the flag
- Avoid long background sections
- Avoid dead ends unless they explain a key pivot
- Avoid multiple alternative solves; pick one clean path
- Redact the flag only if the user explicitly asks for redaction
---
## Best Practices Checklist
Before finalizing the writeup, verify:
- [ ] **Metadata complete** — title, CTF, date, category, difficulty, points, author all filled
- [ ] **Flag handling matches request** — keep the real flag unless the user asked for redaction
- [ ] **Reproducible steps** — a reader can follow your writeup and reproduce the solution
- [ ] **Code is runnable** — exploit scripts include all imports, correct variable names, and comments
- [ ] **No sensitive data** — no real credentials, API keys, or private infrastructure details
- [ ] **Length stays concise** — the writeup is short enough for fast review
- [ ] **Tools and versions noted** — mention specific tool versions if behavior depends on them
- [ ] **Proper attribution** — credit teammates, referenced writeups, or tools that were essential
- [ ] **Grammar and formatting** — consistent heading levels, code blocks have language tags
## Quality Guidelines
**DO:**
- Explain just enough for fast verification
- Include one complete solving path, not multiple alternative routes
- Include one complete script that goes all the way to the final flag
- Show actual output (truncated if very long) to prove the approach worked
- Tag code blocks with language (`python`, `bash`, `sql`, etc.)
- Keep the main path front-loaded so a reader can validate it quickly
**DON'T:**
- Copy-paste raw terminal dumps without explanation
- Paste several partial snippets that force the reader to reconstruct the final solve
- Leave placeholder text in the final writeup
- Include irrelevant tangents that don't contribute to the solution
- Assume the reader knows the specific challenge setup

Install the "ctf-writeup" agent skill from https://github.com/ljagiello/ctf-skills/tree/main/ctf-writeup. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Generates a single standardized submission-style CTF writeup for competition handoff and organizer review.

Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes.
