SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill defines a repeatable workflow for turning IDA Pro decompiled C/C++ functions into clean, readable source code that is 100% functionally equivalent to the original binary.

Core Features & Use Cases

11-step lifting workflow coordinates data gathering, validation against assembly, renaming, struct reconstruction, and documentation.
Uses data from the decompiled-code-extractor and reconstruct-types skills to produce faithful lifts.
Inline documentation and a verification step ensure readability and correctness across function scopes.

Quick Start

Follow the 11-step lifting workflow described here to lift a target function from decompiled sources into clean, readable, functionally equivalent C++.

FAQPage Schema

How do I turn IDA Pro decompiled C++ code into readable source code?▼

Lift IDA Pro decompiled C/C++ functions into clean, readable source code by following an 11-step workflow that coordinates data gathering, struct reconstruction, and documentation to ensure 100% functional equivalence to the original binary.

How does lifting decompiled code using assembly as ground truth work?▼

Lifting decompiled code uses both decompiled output and assembly as ground truth to enforce exact mapping, correct memory layouts, and proper commenting, ensuring the reconstructed C++ is functionally equivalent to the original binary.

What is the best way to reconstruct structs from decompiled C++ functions?▼

Reconstruct structs from decompiled C++ functions by following a structured lifting workflow that validates data against assembly, applies type reconstruction, and verifies memory layouts across single functions and class-method groups.

Do I need specific decompiled-code-extractor or reconstruct-types skills to lift C++?▼

Yes, lifting decompiled C++ requires the decompiled-code-extractor and reconstruct-types skills to gather data and reconstruct types, plus an independent verifier to confirm exact functional equivalence against assembly.

Can I lift IDA Pro class-method groups into clean C++ source code?▼

Yes, the lifting workflow applies to both single-function lifts and class-method groups, coordinating data gathering, validation, renaming, and struct reconstruction across multiple related artifacts to produce readable C++.

Why should I verify lifted decompiled code against the original assembly?▼

Verifying lifted decompiled code against the original assembly enforces exact mapping and correct memory layouts, using an independent verifier to guarantee 100% functional equivalence and catch reconstruction errors.
