REA-Prompts hits 1,700+ GitHub stars in days: prompts that make coding agents reverse-engineer any software
Promptmethus · x · 2026-10-24
REA-Prompts (REAP) is an open-source collection of copy-paste prompts for REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), letting AI coding agents inspect how software works — native binaries, firmware, kernels, games, Electron apps, APKs and websites. It earned 1,500+ stars in 4 days (now 1.7k stars, 272 forks). Usage tip: replace the angle-bracket placeholders and keep each request focused on one feature — narrower questions get evidence-backed answers. The author warns to only analyze software you own or are authorized to test.
