The hottest repo of the week warns you about fake copies of ITSELF
It's called REA, short for Reverse Engineer Anything.
It lets your AI agent take an app apart and work out how a feature is built, without the app's source code
You see a feature you like in some app. The usual answer is years of specialist skills.
REA's own example prompt: understand how search works in the Notes app, show me the evidence, and build a similar feature for my project
→ It plugs into your agent through MCP
(a plug that lets agents use outside tools)
→ Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok Build
→ Targets: native binaries, Electron apps, Android APKs,
websites, firmware
→ Setup is one command: npx rea-agents setup
Receipt from the README: it rebuilt a sound function from the old game DX-Ball. The result passes 3,205 test cases and reproduces all 63 compiled function bytes
BEFORE you run it
→ The README's first warning: get REA only from
https://t.co/yV2QD2YdC2 and https://t.co/IY2xhc73j1 or the npm package rea-agents
A similar repo name or a copied README does not make a download official
→ Static analysis reads the files without running the app
Runtime capture runs the target with your user permissions
→ Taking software apart can break a licence agreement
Read the terms before you copy a feature.
