A roundup of this week's fastest-growing AI repos on GitHub:
- REA (Reverse Engineer Anything): created in April, now at 269K stars, +214K this week. It lets AI reverse-engineer any software—from web and desktop apps down to binaries—driving tools like Ghidra and IDA, tracing call chains with evidence. In a demo it restored an old game's stereo-panning function to C code, passing 3,200+ tests with 63 compiled bytes identical to the original.
- skills by Matt Pocock: 292K stars, his daily-driver AI coding skills, aimed at real engineering rather than vibe coding; hottest skill is "grill-me".
- Other entries: diagram-design, OpenMontage, claude-mem, free-claude-code, knowledge-work-plugins, AirLLM, text-to-cad, OpenSRE.
