A 44-minute masterclass on installing and using REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) inside Claude Code, covering setup, Claude permission settings, Ghidra and Hopper, and a live feature-by-feature rebuild test on MindNode.
REA + Claude Code traces a feature through an app REA (Reverse Engineer Anything

Nate B Jones walks through concrete uses of REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) with Claude Code / Codex: how an authenticator app derives its six-digit codes, how Notion's copy and paste works, why the Windows calculator's percent button matters, and how Ledger Reborn studied QuickBooks before building an accounting app.
A developer rebuilds his own compiled production app with Claude Code alone and again with REA (rea-agents 6.4.0) as an MCP server, scoring both against 8 hidden business rules; he shares timing and cost results, scoring methodology, and Windows setup tips including the MCP cold-start timeout.
A post announcing an official Hermes Agent plugin for Reverse Engineer Anything (REA), installable via 'hermes plugins install rea', which configures the MCP setup and provides an agent skill; the author also made a short video demonstrating the plugin.
▶ ♫A tool that recompiles the original x86/D3D9 Spore binary to ARM64 and Metal so the game runs natively on Apple Silicon, built with the help of REA. It ships no game assets and works from the user's own DRM-free installation.
A YouTube tutorial introducing REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), showing how to install it with VS Code and use it with Ghidra and a JDK to reverse engineer an Electron notes app and a compiled exe, with links to the REA repository and website.

Advertise hereAn official REA plugin for the Hermes agent is announced: one install brings the REA MCP plus a reverse-engineer-anything Skill adapted for Hermes, exposing about 170 tools behind tool search for inspecting native binaries, .NET, Electron apps, Android packages, firmware, browser captures and live process activity. Requirements include Hermes 0.22.1 and Node, and the user supplies Ghidra, Hopper or IDA for native decompilation; the Skill asks for confirmation before anything that runs or changes a device.

A step-by-step beginner tutorial on the open-source REA MCP server, showing how to install it with Hopper and use Claude Code to reverse engineer the Mac Calculator app.
A tutorial and live demo of REA, the open-source MCP server for reverse engineering. The video explains how REA connects AI agents to tools like Ghidra, IDA and Hopper plus its own readers, discusses legality, installs REA 6.4.0 in Claude Code with npx rea-agents setup, and runs it against the open-source ShareX 21.0.0 to map its Image Beautifier and build a small web version called MiniShot.
Teknium announces an official Hermes Agent plugin that bundles the REA MCP server together with a skill explaining how to use it more effectively.

An MIT-licensed skill for AI coding agents that works alongside REA (Reverse Engineer Anything): it takes REA's reverse-engineering findings and turns them into a feature breakdown, requirements, architecture and a staged build/test plan, keeping observed behaviour separate from assumptions and linking requirements to tests.
