types

This skill is the authoritative reference for IDA's type system as exposed through idasql. For annotation workflows that use types, see annotations. For decompiler-specific type interactions (ctree, lvars, union selection, numform), see decompiler.

Trigger Intents

Use this skill when user asks to:

• create/edit structs, unions, enums, typedefs
• inspect function prototype argument types
• resolve hidden pointer/typedef behavior
• apply or refine recovered data models

Route to:

• decompiler for expression-level type context
• annotations for applying and documenting type decisions
• re-source for recursive structure-recovery workflows
