discover-important-function

separate

When given a project codebase, this skill observes the important functions in the codebase for future action.

When to use

• A ranked list of important files
• A ranked list of important functions and methods
• A summary of existing unit tests and inferred oracles
• A final shortlist of functions-under-test (FUTs) for fuzzing, each with a structured "note to self" for follow-up actions
• Find the best functions to fuzz in a Python package/library
• Identify parsers, decoders, validators, or boundary code that is fuzz-worthy
• Decide what to fuzz based on existing test coverage and API surface
• Produce a structured shortlist of fuzz targets with harness guidance

When not to use

• Fix a specific bug
• Refactor code
• Implement a harness immediately
