rea: Ask AI to explain an app without its source code

What it does

REA gives an AI assistant tools to investigate how existing software works, even when you cannot see the code used to build it. It can inspect an application’s behaviour, a website, or a finished program file, then return an explanation with the evidence it used and the limits of what it could establish. When you have one of the supported native analysis tools, it can inspect a finished program file more deeply.

How to use it

Follow the repository setup guide, add REA to a supported assistant, and give the assistant the app or site you want to understand. The input is the target and a concrete question; the assistant chooses an analysis path and returns findings, evidence, and uncertainty for you to inspect.

Common use cases

• Ask what an unfamiliar desktop app does when a particular button is pressed and review the evidence behind the answer.
• Give an agent a website and ask it to trace a visible feature through the page structure and behaviour behind it.
• Investigate a compiled program with a native analysis tool when the original source code is unavailable.
