REA + Claude Code = F*CKING CHEAT CODE...
see a feature you like in an app, your agent figures out how it works and builds your own version
443k GitHub stars, and most people still haven't connected the two
here's how to use and set it up:
first understand how it works:
โข REA is one MCP server that lets your agent inspect apps without their source code
โข it covers native binaries, JavaScript and Electron apps, .NET, Android APKs and websites
โข analysis runs locally, and every conclusion comes with the evidence behind it
here's how to set it up:
1 โ install the latest Node.js 24
2 โ run: npx rea-agents setup
3 โ pick Claude Code, review the changes, approve, restart Claude Code
4 โ ask: "Understand how search works in the Notes app, show me the evidence, and build a similar feature for my project."
5 โ swap Notes for any app and feature you want to learn from
only on software you own or are allowed to analyze, the repo says the same
save this before your next "how did they build that?" moment
REA is the most powerful thing on the internet right now
it lets your AI agent reverse-engineer any app from scratch
i connected REA to Opus 5.5 and reverse-engineered paid 10 apps that gained 13K+ installs

THIS IS F*CKING INSIDER LEVEL
Claude Code agents wrecking your repo - FIXED with 3 prompts...
no plugins, no new tools, it runs in the Claude Code you already pay for
random rewrites aren't a problem anymore.
here's how to use and set up the "small team" method:
first understand how it works:
โข Claude writes a one-page brief before any code, so it stops guessing
โข every subagent gets one task and the exact files it's allowed to touch
โข a reviewer pass checks each change against the brief before you approve
here's how to set it up in 2 minutes:
1 โ open Claude Code in your project folder
2 โ say: "Before writing any code, ask me 5 questions about the goal, the limits and what done means. Then write a one-page brief and wait for my OK."
3 โ after you OK the brief, say: "Split the brief into tasks. One task per subagent, each with the exact files it may touch. Show me the plan first."
4 โ when the agents finish, say: "Act as a strict reviewer. Check every change against the brief, list what breaks it, and don't fix anything until I approve."
5 โ you approve one plan instead of fifty diffs
save this before your next agent rewrites half your repo
this is f*cking wild
the most ignored limit in Claude Code: it only reads the first 200 lines of its memory, and everything below line 200 quietly disappears
no new apps, just one short index on top and Claude opens the right note instead of losing it
how it works:
โ one index file at the top, short enough to stay under 200 lines
โ every line points to one topic file, named after what's inside
โ Claude reads the index first and opens only the file it needs
โ the details live in the topic files, so nothing falls below the line
paste this into Claude Code in your project โ
"Reorganize my memory:
1. Keep MEMORY.md under 200 lines.
2. One line per topic with the path to its file.
3. Move the details into topic files, one topic per file.
4. When you answer from memory, name the file you used.
Show me the plan first."
save this now, before your memory file crosses line 200
