Why should I use the IDA Domain API over the legacy SDK?

The Domain API provides a cleaner, more concise, and Pythonic interface that is easier for AI and humans to read and maintain than the low-level legacy SDK.

Does this skill support pseudocode extraction?

Absolutely. It provides specific methods to retrieve decompiled pseudocode and microcode while handling tag removal for cleaner output.

Can I modify IDA databases with this skill?

Yes, it supports modifying function names, adding comments, and creating or removing functions within the database.

Can I use this skill for headless binary analysis?

Yes, the skill includes optimized patterns for headless tools, including database locking, analysis timeouts, and transparent SHA-256 caching.

How does it handle complex function thunks?

The skill includes logic for thunk-aware analysis, allowing you to resolve single-target thunk chains to find the actual logic target consistently.
