2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
3 stars3 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Extract assembly from an object file or assembly file, optionally for a specific function

SKILL.md

3.5 KB, ~1.0k tokens by cl100k_base, as published. Nobody here has run it

Prerequisites

The input must be a compiled object file (.o or .obj) or assembly file (.s or .asm). If you have source code, compile it first (e.g. via CMake build or standalone clang -S).

Arguments

$1 = input file (.o, .obj, .s, or .asm)
$2 = function name (optional — if omitted, disassemble the entire file)

Examples:

trees.c.o compress_block — single function
trees.c.o — entire file
trees.s my_function
trees.obj compress_block

Steps

1. Disassemble object files (`.o` / `.obj`)

Use the appropriate tool for the platform:

Platform	Tool	Notes
macOS	`llvm-objdump`	Ships with Xcode
Linux	`objdump`	GNU binutils 2.32+
Windows	`llvm-objdump`	Ships with VS LLVM/clang workload or standalone LLVM

Single function ($2 provided):

Platform	Command
macOS	`llvm-objdump --disassemble-symbols=_<name> --no-show-raw-insn <file>`
Linux	`objdump --disassemble=<name> --no-show-raw-insn <file>`
Windows	`llvm-objdump --disassemble-symbols=<name> --no-show-raw-insn <file>`

Entire file ($2 omitted):

Platform	Command
macOS	`llvm-objdump -d --no-show-raw-insn <file>`
Linux	`objdump -d --no-show-raw-insn <file>`
Windows	`llvm-objdump -d --no-show-raw-insn <file>`

Windows dumpbin fallback — if llvm-objdump is not available:

VSPATH=$(vswhere -latest -property installationPath)
cmd.exe /c "call \"${VSPATH}\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat\" amd64 >nul 2>&1 && dumpbin /disasm <file>.obj"

Then manually extract the function: find <function_name>: label, collect until the next label or summary line.

2. Extract from assembly files (`.s` / `.asm`)

Read the file directly. If $2 is provided, extract the named function:

Mach-O: Find _<function_name>:, collect until next ^_[a-zA-Z] label (excluding _Ltmp, _LCFI, _LBB prefixes).
ELF/other: Find <function_name>:, collect until the next function label.

3. Clean up and output

Filter out assembler directives (. prefix), comments (#, ;, //, @), and blank lines
Keep only instruction lines
Output the assembly to stdout with a summary line showing the instruction count

Symbol Names

Symbol names differ by platform — use this when passing to --disassemble-symbols or searching in .s files:

Platform	C function `foo`	C++ function `foo`
macOS (Mach-O)	`_foo`	`_Z3foov` (Itanium mangled, `_` prefixed)
Linux (ELF)	`foo`	`_Z3foov` (Itanium mangled)
Windows (PE/COFF)	`foo`	`?foo@@YAXXZ` (MSVC decorated)

Architecture Notes

Architecture	Key details
x86-64	`offset(%reg)` memory syntax. `leaq (%rip)` is PC-relative, not a load.
AArch64	`[reg, #offset]` memory syntax. Loads: `ldr`, `ldur`, `ldp`, `ldrb`, `ldrh`, `ldrsw`. Stores: `str`, `stur`, `stp`, `strb`, `strh`. Apple Silicon compiles natively.
x86-64 (MSVC)	Intel syntax (dest first): `mov rax, [rcx+168]`. Args in `rcx`, `rdx`, `r8`, `r9`. C++ names may be decorated (`?name@@...`).
