CTF Write-up Generator

Generate a standardized submission-style CTF writeup for a solved challenge.

Default behavior:

• During an active competition, optimize for speed, clarity, and reproducibility
• Keep writeups short enough that a teammate or organizer can validate the solve quickly
• Always produce a submission-style writeup
• Prefer one complete solve script from challenge data to final flag

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Information

Collect the following from the current session, challenge files, and user input:

1. Challenge metadata, name, CTF event, category, difficulty, points, flag format
2. Solution artifacts, exploit scripts, payloads, screenshots, command output
3. Timeline, key steps taken, dead ends, pivots

# Scan for exploit scripts and artifacts
find . -name '*.py' -o -name '*.sh' -o -name 'exploit*' -o -name 'solve*' | head -20
# Check for flags in output files
grep -rniE '(flag|ctf|eno|htb|pico)\{' . 2>/dev/null

Step 2: Generate Write-up

Write the writeup file as writeup.md (or writeup-<challenge-name>.md) using the submission template below.

# <Challenge Name>

## Summary

<1-2 sentences: what the challenge was and the core technique. Keep it direct.>

## Solution

### Step 1: <Action>

<Explain the key observation in 3-8 short lines. Keep it direct.>

\`\`\`python
<one complete solving script from provided challenge data to printing the final flag>
\`\`\`

### Step 2: <Action> (optional)

<Only add this when a second short step genuinely helps readability, such as separating the core observation from final verification.>

### Step 3: <Action> (optional)
