# decompile
Decompile a function from the debugged binary into C-like pseudocode using angr.
If no address is specified, decompiles the function containing the current instruction pointer. Accepts an address or symbol name as an argument.
## Instructions
Follow these steps exactly:
### 1. Check prerequisites
Run `pip show angr` via Bash. If angr is not installed, tell the user:
> angr is not installed. Install it with `pip install angr` (requires Python >= 3.10). Note: angr is a large package (~500MB+).
Then stop.
### 2. Verify debugger connection
Call `mcp__x64dbg__get_debugger_status` to confirm the debugger is connected and paused. If not debugging, tell the user and stop.
### 3. Determine target function address
**If the user provided an address or symbol as an argument:**
- If it looks like a hex address, use it directly
- If it looks like a symbol name, resolve it via `mcp__x64dbg__eval_expression`
**If no argument was provided:**
- Get the current instruction pointer via `mcp__x64dbg__get_register` (register `rip` for 64-bit, `eip` for 32-bit)
- Use the current RIP/EIP value as the target address
Call this resolved value `target_addr`.
### 4. Resolve module path and compute RVA
Use `mcp__x64dbg__eval_expression` to evaluate:
- `mod.path(target_addr)` — to get the on-disk path of the module containing the address
- `mod.base(target_addr)` — to get the module's base address
Compute the RVA: `target_addr - module_base`
If `mod.path` fails, the address may not belong to a loaded module. Tell the user and stop.
### 5. Run the decompile script
Execute:
```
python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}\skills\decompile\decompile.py" --binary "<module_path>" --address <rva_hex>
```
Where:
- `<module_path>` is the on-disk path from step 4
- `<rva_hex>` is the RVA in hex (e.g. `0x1060`)
The script may take 10-30 seconds for large binaries (CFG generation is the bottleneck). Use a timeout of at least 120 seconds.
### 6. Present results
The script outputs decompiled C pseudocode to stdout and status messages to stderr.
Present the decompiled code to the user in a ```c code block. If the script failed, relay the error message from stderr (e.g., function not found, decompilation failed) and suggest nearby functions if listed.
