REA details how coding agents inspect, explain and rebuild software features
shaunralston · x · 2026-10-30
This is the linked page behind the REA announcement. REA gives your coding agent reverse-engineering capabilities: ask about a feature in an app, game or page, and the agent uses REA to read the code, observe runtime behavior, then explain or modify the feature.
- Full workflow: ask → inspect → explain → change
- Demo: step-by-step decoding of Windows Calculator's x64 assembly to recover the rule behind 200 + 10% = 220
- Install via npx rea-agents@latest setup in the terminal or by pasting it into your agent; curl option and RL-environment building also available
