Installing the skill gives your AI a method. Your request still has to provide the case-specific facts, constraints and expected output.

2Provide the evidence

Add source material, audience, limits and known facts.

3Define done

Set format, quality criteria and checks.

Adaptable starting prompt Replace the brackets with your case

Mistakes to avoid

| Issue | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Fuzzer kills process immediately | Memory limit too low for ASan's 20TB virtual memory | Use -rss_limit_mb=0 (libFuzzer) or -m none (AFL++) | | "ASan runtime not initialized" | Wrong linking order or missing runtime | Ensure -fsanitize=address used in both compile and link | | Leak reports clutter output | LeakSanitizer enabled by default | Set ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 | | Poor performance (>4x slowdown) | Debug mode or unoptimized build | Compile with -O2 or -O3 alongside -fsanitize=address | | ASan not detecting obvious bugs | Binary not instrumented | Check with ASAN_OPTIONS=verbosity=1 that ASan prints startup info | | False positives | Interceptor conflicts | Check ASan FAQ for known issues with specific libraries |
