# SKILL: Symbolic Execution Tools — Expert Analysis Playbook

> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Expert symbolic execution techniques using angr, Z3, and Unicorn Engine. Covers CTF challenge automation, constraint solving patterns, function hooking, SimProcedure replacement, and emulation-based unpacking. Base models often produce broken angr scripts due to incorrect state initialization or missing hooks for libc functions.
