encoding-toolkit

What this skill does

Automatically detects the encoding format of an input string and performs encode/decode conversions across Base64, URL encoding, Hex, HTML entities, ROT13, and JWT formats. Uses only standard tools: base64, python3, and xxd.

When to use

• Analyzing encoded strings found in web requests or responses
• Stripping multiple encoding layers in CTF challenges
• Inspecting JWT token headers and payloads
• Converting payloads into various formats for WAF bypass testing

Prerequisites

• python3 (uses standard library, no extra installation needed)
• base64 command (built into Linux/macOS)
• xxd command (built into Linux/macOS)
