Competition File Parser Chain

Use this skill only as a downstream specialization after $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator is already active and has established sandbox assumptions, node ownership, and evidence priorities. If that has not happened yet, return to $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator first.

Use this skill when the hard part is following a file from ingress through every parser, extractor, converter, or deserializer boundary that matters.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

1. Preserve the original upload and every derived artifact separately.
2. Map the chain in order: ingress, temp storage, archive extraction, format conversion, parser call, deserialization, and final consumer.
3. Record filenames, MIME guesses, extensions, temp paths, and parser choices before mutating anything.
4. Separate client-visible validation from backend parser behavior.
5. Reproduce the smallest file-processing chain that yields the decisive branch or artifact.

Workflow

1. Map File Ingress And Derivation

• Record request shape, multipart names, content type, filename, temp paths, upload staging, and storage keys.
• Note every derived artifact: extracted archive member, converted preview, generated thumbnail, temp document, or deserialized object.
• Keep original file and each derivative labeled separately.

2. Trace Parser And Conversion Boundaries

• Show which parser, converter, extractor, or deserializer runs at each step.
• Record parser-specific decisions driven by extension, MIME, magic bytes, schema, archive member names, or embedded metadata.
• Distinguish parsing success, preview success, conversion success, and business-logic acceptance.

3. Reduce To The Decisive File Chain

• Compress the result to the smallest sequence: upload -> derived artifact -> parser boundary -> resulting effect.
• State clearly whether the decisive weakness lives in archive handling, MIME inference, file conversion, path resolution, or deserialization.
• If the chain becomes mostly a generic async worker problem after enqueue, hand off to the tighter queue or worker skill.

What To Preserve

• Original uploads, derived files, temp paths, storage keys, parser names, and conversion steps
• The exact boundary where backend behavior diverges from user-visible validation
• One minimal replayable file-processing sequence that reaches the decisive effect
