leanrea

A single 8 KB agent skill, released 17 October, meant to replace the REA reverse-engineering MCP server (covered in week 42) and its 207 tools. It tells a coding agent which plain command-line tool to use for each kind of target, from Electron asar, Mach-O, ELF and PE to Go build info, Android APKs, WASM, SQLite and pcap, with ready-to-paste recon commands and common traps. The author's benchmark on Claude Code with Sonnet 5.5, four tasks with three reps each, reports 38% less wall time, 35% lower cost and 60% fewer tokens than REA while scoring 74 of 75 against REA's 75, self-reported on one machine. MIT, 665 stars.
