Best REA app recreation cases

Vídeo tutorial en español que explica qué es REA (herramienta MCP de ingeniería inversa), cómo funciona con agentes de IA como Claude Code, Codex o Cursor, cómo instalarlo y una demostración práctica creando una versión propia tipo Loom, incluyendo advertencias legales.

Vídeo en español que explica REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), su instalación con npx rea-agents, para qué sirve, sus seis límites y si permite cancelar suscripciones, usando como demo una app Electron propia analizada con permiso.

this is f*cking dangerous REA lets your agent read any closed-source app on your laptop, down to the binary here's what happens when you ask it one question: > you ask: what happens when I click Export? > your agent calls REA, one MCP server, running on your machine > REA picks the engine: Ghidra, IDA, JADX, a browser, or none at all > it traces the click: renderer -> preload -> IPC -> main > findings come back with the code, the evidence and the unknowns > your agent explains how the feature works > then builds your own version and tests it MIT. runs locally. #1 repo of the day on GitHub. npx rea-agents setup

A video demo where the author gives Claude Code only the installed files of OpenAI's open-source Codex (no source) and has it rebuild the non-interactive CLI engine in Python, making REA and Ghidra mandatory tools. The resulting clone passes 416/422 hidden checks (98.6%), with the test kit, REA and Codex repositories linked.

A step-by-step YouTube tutorial on installing the REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) GitHub skill into Claude Code and using it to analyse an app, with a demo that analyses the open-source Excalidraw website and rebuilds a simplified version.

A YouTube walkthrough of REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), covering what it is, how to install it in Claude Code or Codex, a live attempt to understand and rebuild Stripe's animated wave, five user builds, and caveats about legality, accuracy and cost.

A video walkthrough showing how to install REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) safely and use it to build three new apps — a screen recorder, a screenshot markup tool, and a dictation/meeting-notes app — starting from the free, open-source projects ShareX, Greenshot and OpenWhispr. It covers the legal/licence limits, scanning the repo before install and keeping work in one lab folder.

An X post describing a workflow where REA (morluto/rea) reverse-engineers a legacy billing system into a spec.md (14 endpoints, 37 rules, 9 edge cases), with twelve Sonnet agents building modules from spec slices and REA VERIFY replaying the new system against the legacy one (148/148 behaviours match). The post links to the MIT-licensed GitHub project and gives the npx rea-agents setup install command, plus a warning about sending tool results to model providers.

A Reddit post in r/SATNA_PROJECT advertising a Claude prompt that uses REA (connected via `npx rea-agents setup`) to trace an app feature from UI to logic and build an original reimplementation, with a caution to only analyze software you own or are authorized to examine.

Perplexity integrates the open-source reverse engineering tool REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) into Computer. Users only need to describe the software they want to replicate, and the AI can analyze how it works without the original source code, then attempt to rewrite a version with similar functionality. The 5 showcased replicated works include Figma, LibreOffice Calc, Photopea, Harvey, and Audacity, all providing online experience versions. REA is open-sourced by developer morluto and can be used with Ghidra and Hopper to analyze internal functions and call relationships of programs. It can also inspect web pages, JavaScript, and Electron applications; the author emphasizes that it cannot guarantee restoration of the original source code. Before October 31, using the /reverse-engineer task can get each person up to 10,000 Credits free quota.
