reverse-engineer-anything

reverse-engineer-anything is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arhen/agents. It costs 63 tokens per session (5,071 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A reverse-engineering workflow for examining native programs, managed software, Electron and JavaScript apps, packaged programs, firmware, and browser targets. It uses shipped files or observed runtime evidence to explain behaviour, compare versions, decompile code, or guide a reconstruction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study released binaries, firmware, packaged apps, or browser targets and to support compatibility work or reconstruction.
Why use it?
It helps investigate software when the original implementation is unavailable or when behaviour must be explained from a delivered program. It is not intended for ordinary analysis of a source repository's architecture.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

reverse-engineer-anything scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
