slicing-code-context

by Trail of Bits

Selects bounded, graph-informed source slices with Trailmark and delegates focused code analysis or patch-proposal work to a smaller subagent. Use when offloading function-, class-, caller-, callee-, call-path-, entrypoint-, or line-focused code tasks to constrained or locally hosted models without exposing the full repository.

secure-workflow-guideGuides through Trail of Bits' 5-step secure development workflow. Runs Slither scans, checks special features (upgradeability/ERC conformance/token integration), generates visual security diagrams, helps document security properties for fuzzing/verification, and reviews manual security areas.0 installsconstant-time-analysisDetects timing side-channel vulnerabilities in cryptographic code. Use when implementing or reviewing crypto code, encountering division on secrets, secret-dependent branches, or constant-time programming questions in C, C++, Go, Rust, Swift, Java, Kotlin, C#, PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, or Ruby.0 installsspec-to-code-complianceVerifies code implements exactly what documentation specifies for blockchain audits. Use when comparing code against whitepapers, finding gaps between specs and implementation, or performing compliance checks for protocol implementations.0 installsmermaid-to-proverifTranslates Mermaid sequenceDiagrams describing cryptographic protocols into ProVerif formal verification models (.pv files). Use when generating a ProVerif model, formally verifying a protocol, converting a Mermaid diagram to ProVerif, verifying protocol security properties (secrecy, authentication, forward secrecy), checking for replay attacks, or producing a .pv file from a sequence diagram.0 installssharp-edgesIdentifies error-prone APIs, dangerous configurations, and footgun designs that enable security mistakes. Use when reviewing API designs, configuration schemas, cryptographic library ergonomics, or evaluating whether code follows 'secure by default' and 'pit of success' principles. Triggers: footgun, misuse-resistant, secure defaults, API usability, dangerous configuration.0 installsdevcontainer-setupCreates devcontainers with Claude Code, language-specific tooling (Python/Node/Rust/Go), and persistent volumes. Use when adding devcontainer support to a project, setting up isolated development environments, or configuring sandboxed Claude Code workspaces.0 installs

Frequently asked questions about slicing-code-context

What does the slicing-code-context skill do?

Selects bounded, graph-informed source slices with Trailmark and delegates focused code analysis or patch-proposal work to a smaller subagent. Use when offloading function-, class-, caller-, callee-, call-path-, entrypoint-, or line-focused code tasks to constrained or locally hosted models without exposing the full repository. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the slicing-code-context skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install trail-of-bits-slicing-code-context` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/trail-of-bits-slicing-code-context/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does slicing-code-context work with?

slicing-code-context runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the slicing-code-context skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use slicing-code-context after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/trail-of-bits-slicing-code-context` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the slicing-code-context skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
