From the SKILL.md

# OSS-Fuzz [OSS-Fuzz](https://google.github.io/oss-fuzz/) is an open-source project developed by Google that provides free distributed infrastructure for continuous fuzz testing. It streamlines the fuzzing process and facilitates simpler modifications. While only select projects are accepted into OSS-Fuzz, the project's core is open-source, allowing anyone to host their own instance for private projects. ## Overview OSS-Fuzz provides a simple CLI framework for building and starting harnesses or calculating their coverage. Additionally, OSS-Fuzz can be used as a service that hosts static web pages generated from fuzzing outputs such as coverage information. ### Key Concepts | Concept | Description | |---------|-------------| | **helper.py** | CLI script for building images, building fuzzers, and running harnesses locally | | **Base Images** | Hierarchical Docker images providing build dependencies and compilers | | **project.yaml** | Configuration file defining project metadata for OSS-Fuzz enrollment | | **Dockerfile** | Project-specific image with build dependencies | | **build.sh** | Script that builds fuzzing harnesses for your project | | **Criticality Score** | Metric used by

About this skill
What does the ossfuzz skill do?

OSS-Fuzz provides free continuous fuzzing for open source projects. Use when setting up continuous fuzzing infrastructure or enrolling projects.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add trailofbits/skills --skill ossfuzz --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From trailofbits/skills, a repository with 6,426 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
