leanrea
by aicodeking
leanrea is a single short skill file that teaches an AI coding agent which ordinary command-line tools to use when taking apart software, such as Electron apps, native binaries, Android apps and Go programs. It is meant as a lighter alternative to the REA tool pack, with no extra server or tool definitions.

What you can do with it
- Ask an agent to trace how a feature works inside an Electron app, with evidence
- Inventory the exports, imports and permissions of a native binary or Android app
- Check toolchain and dependency versions of a stripped Go or Rust binary
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer paid software audits or integration research, using the skill to speed up the analysis.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Check what third-party desktop or mobile software actually does, such as its dependencies and permissions, before relying on it
- Offer security review or compatibility analysis of software as a freelance service, with less agent running cost
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Install with one npm command (npx skills add aicodeking/leanrea), or copy the SKILL.md file into your agent's skills folder.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Benchmark is small: 3 repeats per task, one model and one machine
- Needs an AI coding agent, which usually means paid model usage
- Reverse engineering may breach software licence terms, so check before using it on others' products
- Relies on separately installed tools such as Ghidra or jadx for some tasks
