# Binary Analysis Patterns

Comprehensive patterns and techniques for analyzing compiled binaries, understanding assembly code, and reconstructing program logic.

## Use this skill when

- Working on binary analysis patterns tasks or workflows
- Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for binary analysis patterns

## Do not use this skill when

- The task is unrelated to binary analysis patterns
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

## Instructions

- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
