# morluto/rea

> A reverse-engineering tool that lets AI agents inspect apps and native binaries: it connects agents to Hopper or Ghidra via MCP and CLI, helping explain how a feature works and rebuild it in your own project.

## Useful for

- Investigate how a feature works in a third-party app via an agent and get an evidence-backed explanation
- Connect Hopper or Ghidra to an agent over MCP for native binary analysis
- Run environment and analysis tool diagnostics with the rea doctor command

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-06 (UTC), 11:46–13:19: 6821 → 7100 stars (+279). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +997 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 150× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending today: #8, +2,963 stars.
- GitHub Trending TypeScript today: #3, +2,963 stars.
- About 280 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 789
- Issues and pull requests: 736
- Watchers: 20
- Average over the last week: 976 per day
- Usual pace: 1 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 191
- Latest release: rea-agents-4.0.1 (2026-10-05)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
