About this skill

What it does. Adds AddressSanitizer instrumentation to C, C++ or Rust builds, configures ASAN_OPTIONS, and explains reports for overflows, use-after-free, double-free and leaks. It includes setup guidance for libFuzzer, AFL++, cargo-fuzz and honggfuzz, including memory-limit adjustments.

When to use it. For fuzzing, unit tests or debugging memory-corruption crashes, especially in unsafe Rust and FFI code. It is not intended for production, pure safe-language fuzzing, or cases where the runtime and virtual-memory overhead is unacceptable.
