I Tested the Viral Reverse Engineer Anything Skill. What You Need to Know.

So, this So, this GitHub repository dedicated to GitHub repository dedicated to GitHub repository dedicated to reverse reverse reverse engineering anything engineering anything engineering anything just just just exploded. Matthew exploded. Matthew exploded. Matthew Berman himself said that Berman himself said that Berman himself said that the software was the software was finished. He's joking a little finished. He's joking a little . This story has been around for . This story has been around for . This story has been around for over a year, over a year, over a year, since Vibe coding since Vibe coding since Vibe coding became popular, became popular, became popular, but there is some truth to it but there is some truth to it but there is some truth to it . Because the idea of . Because the idea of . Because the idea of reverse reverse reverse engineering anything is that engineering anything is that you see you see a feature that you a feature that you a feature that you like in like in like in some app or some app or software that already software that already exists, and then your exists, and then your exists, and then your agents, agents, agents, using using using frameworks inside frameworks inside , understand how , understand how , understand how that functionality works, that functionality works, that functionality works, and then just and then just and then just reproduce it. So reproduce it. So reproduce it. So today I'd like to today I'd like to today I'd like to talk briefly talk briefly talk briefly about how this about how this about how this actually works, and actually works, and actually works, and why I don't think it's why I don't think it's why I don't think it's anything really new. And anything really new. And anything really new. And because of that, how you can because of that, how you can because of that, how you can use that, and use that, and use that, and also the right also the right also the right mindset, to be mindset, to be mindset, to be able to create able to create able to create things much better. things much better. things much better. So, I've So, I've So, I've been experimenting with been experimenting with been experimenting with this REA repository, and this REA repository, and this REA repository, and I've been building games, I've I've been building games, I've I've been building games, I've been building been building been building software, I've been software, I've been software, I've been building different building different building different tools and tools and tools and apps, and just apps, and just apps, and just testing a bunch of things, testing a bunch of things, testing a bunch of things, and it's really impressive. But and it's really impressive. But and it's really impressive. But as I reviewed, as I reviewed, as I reviewed, tested, and tested, and tested, and used it, I used it, I used it, I realized that this is not realized that this is not realized that this is not something new, and we have something new, and we have something new, and we have probably been doing this for a long time probably been doing this for a long time probably been doing this for a long time . I've definitely been doing . I've definitely been doing . I've definitely been doing this for a long time. In my this for a long time. In my this for a long time. In my opinion, artificial opinion, artificial opinion, artificial intelligence is not that intelligence is not that intelligence is not that creative. He creative. He creative. He cannot think cannot think cannot think outside the box. But outside the box. But outside the box. But if you give him a if you give him a if you give him a very clear vision, very clear vision, very clear vision, he can execute it very he can execute it very he can execute it very well. And well. And well. And if we look at if we look at if we look at some examples that I some examples that I some examples that I actually created actually created actually created long before long before long before this this this GitHub repository came along, you'll see what GitHub repository came along, you'll see what GitHub repository came along, you'll see what I mean. On I mean. On I mean. On the left we have my the left we have my human-edited Instagram videos.

human-edited Instagram videos. I'll quickly mute them I'll quickly mute them I'll quickly mute them so I can so I can so I can play them, but you play them, but you play them, but you can see can see can see the atmosphere, right? the atmosphere, right? the atmosphere, right? You have B-roll, you have You have B-roll, you have You have B-roll, you have different different different font colors, you have font colors, you have font colors, you have flicker, you have flicker, you have flicker, you have different types of animation. different types of animation. different types of animation. And what I did to And what I did to And what I did to create the skill that create the skill that create the skill that now edits my now edits my now edits my Instagram videos is Instagram videos is Instagram videos is I had it I had it I had it review review review about 30 of my about 30 of my about 30 of my best best best Instagram videos. And now we Instagram videos. And now we Instagram videos. And now we have the style on the right have the style on the right have the style on the right that looks almost that looks almost that looks almost identical, the same identical, the same identical, the same different colors, fonts different colors, fonts , vibe, animation, and , vibe, animation, and , vibe, animation, and all that stuff, and now all that stuff, and now all that stuff, and now it just lives it just lives it just lives inside the skill. And inside the skill. And inside the skill. And the thing is, I the thing is, I the thing is, I couldn't say, "Hey, I couldn't say, "Hey, I couldn't say, "Hey, I want you to make want you to make want you to make me an me an me an Instagram editing skill, Instagram editing skill, Instagram editing skill, you know, that has this you know, that has this you know, that has this vibe and does these vibe and does these vibe and does these transitions." No, I transitions." No, I transitions." No, I said, "Hey, said, "Hey, said, "Hey, look at these look at these look at these videos, analyze videos, analyze videos, analyze them all frame by frame, them all frame by frame, them all frame by frame, and figure out what's and figure out what's and figure out what's going on under the going on under the going on under the hood." And this is hood." And this is hood." And this is essentially a decompilation of essentially a decompilation of essentially a decompilation of my style of video, my style of video, my style of video, edited by a edited by a edited by a human. Here's another human. Here's another human. Here's another example with added example with added example with added movement. On the left was an movement. On the left was an movement. On the left was an example from Jordan example from Jordan example from Jordan Watkins, and you can Watkins, and you can Watkins, and you can see that it's see that it's see that it's really, really really, really really, really well done. And well done. And well done. And he said, "I'd like to he said, "I'd like to he said, "I'd like to see an artificial see an artificial see an artificial intelligence try to intelligence try to intelligence try to replicate that." So I replicate that." So I replicate that." So I thought, "Hmm, let's thought, "Hmm, let's thought, "Hmm, let's see what I can see what I can see what I can do." So, I do." So, I do." So, I uploaded the video, uploaded the video, uploaded the video, handed it over to Opus, and handed it over to Opus, and handed it over to Opus, and said, "Hey, said, "Hey, said, "Hey, analyze this frame analyze this frame analyze this frame by frame, understand by frame, understand by frame, understand what's going on, how what's going on, how what's going on, how it works, and why it it works, and why it it works, and why it works the way it does, and works the way it does, and works the way it does, and then develop skills for me then develop skills for me then develop skills for me based on based on based on that and show me that and show me that and show me that you can that you can that you can edit a video edit a video edit a video like this."

like this." like this." The video on the left is still The video on the left is still The video on the left is still better in terms of better in terms of better in terms of motion design and motion design and motion design and sound design. sound design. sound design. It's still a little It's still a little It's still a little better. But the thing is, better. But the thing is, better. But the thing is, Opus couldn't have come up with that before Opus couldn't have come up with that before Opus couldn't have come up with that before . . . This is such a This is such a This is such a creative design that creative design that creative design that I don't think Claude or I don't think Claude or I don't think Claude or any other any other any other artificial intelligence artificial intelligence artificial intelligence could have created it could have created it . But, because I'm . But, because I'm . But, because I'm showing this, "This is what showing this, "This is what showing this, "This is what I want, analyze I want, analyze I want, analyze this, and now create this this, and now create this this, and now create this for me." It for me." It for me." It could have done could have done could have done much better. And much better. And much better. And when I talked to you when I talked to you when I talked to you guys about how guys about how guys about how to develop the best to develop the best to develop the best skills, that's exactly what skills, that's exactly what skills, that's exactly what I preach. I I preach. I I preach. I preach reverse preach reverse preach reverse engineering the engineering the engineering the outcome. If you outcome. If you outcome. If you want to create a report want to create a report want to create a report for Friday, let for Friday, let for Friday, let it review five it review five it review five examples of examples of examples of Good Friday reports, Good Friday reports, Good Friday reports, because now it because now it because now it knows exactly what you knows exactly what you knows exactly what you want. I've want. I've want. I've talked a lot about how talked a lot about how talked a lot about how clearly clearly clearly your intention should be expressed. your intention should be expressed. your intention should be expressed. If you give an agent a If you give an agent a If you give an agent a general goal, it will general goal, it will general goal, it will give you a general give you a general give you a general result. So result. So result. So this whole idea of ​​reverse this whole idea of ​​reverse this whole idea of ​​reverse engineering anything engineering anything engineering anything , and it , and it , and it specifically looks at specifically looks at specifically looks at the application that you the application that you the application that you want to replicate and want to replicate and want to replicate and then copies the functions from it then copies the functions from it then copies the functions from it , it's much more , it's much more , it's much more specific. Essentially, specific. Essentially, specific. Essentially, you gave the agent a very, you gave the agent a very, you gave the agent a very, very specific PRD. very specific PRD. very specific PRD. But instead of having to But instead of having to type in the exact PRD with type in the exact PRD with all the specifications all the specifications , you just say, " , you just say, " Look at the app, Look at the app, Look at the app, this is your PRD." I've done this this is your PRD." I've done this this is your PRD." I've done this with landing with landing with landing pages, you know, pages, you know, pages, you know, taking elements, taking elements, taking elements, animations, or designs from animations, or designs from animations, or designs from other landing other landing other landing pages. Here is an example of what pages. Here is an example of what pages. Here is an example of what I did I did I did using Glide. I did using Glide. I did using Glide. I did it with apps, right?

it with apps, right? it with apps, right? For example, you can For example, you can For example, you can see right here, see right here, see right here, I have this thing right I have this thing right I have this thing right here, which is essentially a here, which is essentially a here, which is essentially a clone of Loom that I clone of Loom that I clone of Loom that I made using made using made using this repository, this repository, this repository, right? For example, I right? For example, I right? For example, I asked him asked him asked him to look at Loom, I to look at Loom, I to look at Loom, I made him made him made him understand how it understand how it understand how it could work with could work with could work with different bubbles. different bubbles. different bubbles. You can see it is counting You can see it is counting down down . This may not . This may not . This may not work because my work because my work because my face camera is recording face camera is recording face camera is recording somewhere else. So I'll quickly somewhere else. So I'll quickly somewhere else. So I'll quickly play the clip. Okay, play the clip. Okay, play the clip. Okay, I just wanted I just wanted I just wanted to check how it to check how it to check how it actually works to actually works to actually works to make sure it's a make sure it's a make sure it's a decent piece of decent piece of decent piece of software. So I'm software. So I'm software. So I'm going to try to put that going to try to put that going to try to put that on pause. And now we on pause. And now we on pause. And now we can continue. I can continue. I can continue. I can move this can move this can move this thing. I can also thing. I can also thing. I can also reduce or reduce or reduce or increase it while increase it while increase it while recording. This is very recording. This is very recording. This is very good. And let's good. And let's good. And let's stop and stop and stop and see what see what see what happens. But it's happens. But it's happens. But it's important to understand that important to understand that important to understand that we didn't clone Loom. This is a we didn't clone Loom. This is a we didn't clone Loom. This is a completely different application. completely different application. completely different application. We didn't clone the entire We didn't clone the entire user interface and user interface and design elements. We design elements. We design elements. We cloned cloned cloned the functionality. Have we the functionality. Have we the functionality. Have we figured out how the figured out how the figured out how the little bubble works? little bubble works? little bubble works? How can it be How can it be How can it be moved? How moved? How moved? How can you change the window can you change the window can you change the window you are recording, you are recording, you are recording, right? We talked right? We talked right? We talked about these things, and we about these things, and we about these things, and we asked him asked him asked him to analyze them. Loom to analyze them. Loom obviously records and obviously records and obviously records and stores your data in the stores your data in the stores your data in the cloud and the Loom cloud, but cloud and the Loom cloud, but cloud and the Loom cloud, but that cloud is just that cloud is just that cloud is just local. So, these local. So, these local. So, these files are stored in files are stored in files are stored in my own folder my own folder my own folder inside the program inside the program inside the program called Herc Recorder. I called Herc Recorder. I called Herc Recorder. I also pointed this out to also pointed this out to also pointed this out to Sandcastles and asked Sandcastles and asked Sandcastles and asked him to test the him to test the him to test the functionality, functionality, functionality, understand and understand and understand and explore how it explore how it explore how it works and what it does, and works and what it does, and works and what it does, and then he gave me then he gave me then he gave me essentially my own essentially my own essentially my own version of Sandcastles and I version of Sandcastles and I version of Sandcastles and I just had to just had to just had to plug in my plug in my plug in my API key. This helps me API key. This helps me API key. This helps me analyze analyze analyze Instagram content and analyze Instagram content and analyze Instagram content and analyze my own content.

my own content. my own content. And you can also And you can also And you can also see that this is see that this is see that this is true with something true with something true with something like our AI SE Eval like our AI SE Eval like our AI SE Eval Studio, which allows us to Studio, which allows us to Studio, which allows us to actually evaluate actually evaluate actually evaluate our automations. our automations. our automations. We took a lot of We took a lot of We took a lot of inspiration from Langfuse and inspiration from Langfuse and inspiration from Langfuse and understood how they understood how they understood how they work, how they work, how they work, how they show things, how show things, how show things, how they manage things, they manage things, they manage things, and now we have our own and now we have our own and now we have our own version right here. And it's version right here. And it's certainly not a copy, certainly not a copy, certainly not a copy, but we asked her but we asked her but we asked her to review and take a look at to review and take a look at to review and take a look at some of the best some of the best some of the best core features, how core features, how core features, how they work, and why. they work, and why. they work, and why. Quick guys, I Quick guys, I Quick guys, I got this got this got this completely completely completely free free free web design skill that I'm web design skill that I'm web design skill that I'm giving away. I giving away. I giving away. I use it use it use it for every website for every website I create, I create, I create, including our AI including our AI including our AI Automation Society website, which I Automation Society website, which I Automation Society website, which I think is quite think is quite think is quite stylish, and I just stylish, and I just stylish, and I just love the website. love the website. love the website. It's called It's called It's called Scrollcraft and it understands Scrollcraft and it understands Scrollcraft and it understands things like animation through things like animation through scrolling and scrolling and layering, but layering, but layering, but also has things like also has things like also has things like flavor, typography, flavor, typography, flavor, typography, spacing, depth. spacing, depth. spacing, depth. Overall, this is a really Overall, this is a really Overall, this is a really good web good web design skill, and it's design skill, and it's design skill, and it's completely completely completely free. So free. So free. So the link to that will be at the link to that will be at the link to that will be at the bottom in the description, but the bottom in the description, but the bottom in the description, but let's get back to the video. let's get back to the video. let's get back to the video. So, what I'm trying So, what I'm trying So, what I'm trying to get across is this: to get across is this: to get across is this: reverse engineering has reverse engineering has reverse engineering has been around for a very long time. been around for a very long time. been around for a very long time. But the reason this But the reason this But the reason this repository is exploding is because repository is exploding is because repository is exploding is because it it it provides your agents with a provides your agents with a provides your agents with a very practical and very practical and very practical and thoughtful platform thoughtful platform thoughtful platform for decompilation and for decompilation and for decompilation and iteration to iteration to iteration to actually build actually build actually build what you want to what you want to what you want to build. And if you haven't build. And if you haven't build. And if you haven't used used used your agents in a way where you your agents in a way where you your agents in a way where you show show show them the end goal and them the end goal and them the end goal and then help them then help them then help them work work work backwards backwards backwards to get there and to get there and to get there and develop the skills develop the skills develop the skills that will give you a better that will give you a better that will give you a better outcome, then you outcome, then you outcome, then you should definitely start should definitely start should definitely start thinking about that, not just thinking about that, not just thinking about that, not just when you're trying to when you're trying to when you're trying to build apps build apps build apps or or or software, but also software, but also software, but also when you're just when you're just when you're just going about your going about your going about your day-to-day business day-to-day business day-to-day business and developing and developing and developing skills. So, skills. So, skills. So, let me let me let me just quickly, very just quickly, very just quickly, very simply break down what simply break down what simply break down what this actually is and this actually is and this actually is and how it works. So, how it works. So, how it works. So, reverse reverse reverse engineering anything engineering anything engineering anything . This . This . This helps your helps your helps your AI agent AI agent AI agent learn learn learn something and then something and then something and then help you help you help you create it. So let's create it. So let's create it. So let's look at, look at, look at, for example, a recipe, a

for example, a recipe, a for example, a recipe, a bakery example. bakery example. bakery example. Let's say the bakery has a Let's say the bakery has a Let's say the bakery has a cake you love. cake you love. cake you love. You order You order You order every week and you every week and you every week and you like it. And you like it. And you like it. And you want them to want them to want them to reverse engineer the reverse engineer the reverse engineer the cake to get the cake to get the cake to get the recipe because recipe because recipe because the recipe is locked down, the recipe is locked down, the recipe is locked down, it's the it's the it's the bakery's intellectual property, and bakery's intellectual property, and bakery's intellectual property, and they're not giving it away. they're not giving it away. they're not giving it away. So you buy a cake, So you buy a cake, So you buy a cake, the bakery sends you the the bakery sends you the the bakery sends you the final result, and final result, and final result, and they use they use they use the recipe to the recipe to the recipe to make it, make it, make it, obviously. Now you're obviously. Now you're obviously. Now you're inside your inside your inside your kitchen, you can, you kitchen, you can, you kitchen, you can, you know, tear open the know, tear open the know, tear open the cake, you can cake, you can cake, you can taste it, you taste it, you taste it, you can try to can try to can try to look at it look at it look at it under a microscope, and you're under a microscope, and you're under a microscope, and you're essentially trying to essentially trying to essentially trying to reverse engineer reverse engineer reverse engineer the recipe for that cake. And the recipe for that cake. And the recipe for that cake. And this is the process this is the process this is the process of decompilation, meaning of decompilation, meaning of decompilation, meaning you actually you actually you actually taste it, taste it, taste it, examine it, examine it, examine it, try to break it down try to break it down try to break it down to to to find out which find out which find out which blocks of code and which blocks of code and which blocks of code and which letters letters letters make up the cake. And here make up the cake. And here make up the cake. And here you have your own you have your own you have your own trial and error method trial and error method , where you build, , where you build, , where you build, compare, and compare, and compare, and try to try to try to repeat until you repeat until you repeat until you reach the final reach the final reach the final result. So, result. So, result. So, if we take the if we take the if we take the Loom example, you can Loom example, you can Loom example, you can ask your ask your ask your agent, "Hey, agent, "Hey, reverse reverse engineer engineer engineer anything and figure out anything and figure out anything and figure out how how how Loom's camera bubble works so we Loom's camera bubble works so we Loom's camera bubble works so we can implement it into can implement it into can implement it into our own our own our own screen recording app." screen recording app." screen recording app." Your agent Your agent Your agent will then verify the files and will then verify the files and will then verify the files and functionality of functionality of functionality of the application. He will the application. He will the application. He will review the evidence, review the evidence, review the evidence, create his own create his own create his own version, and then you version, and then you version, and then you iterate until it iterate until it iterate until it basically basically basically matches in terms of matches in terms of functionality. And functionality. And like I said, it like I said, it like I said, it works so well works so well works so well because you because you because you direct it towards the direct it towards the direct it towards the end result.

end result. end result. You don't say, "Hey, You don't say, "Hey, You don't say, "Hey, bake me a cake." You bake me a cake." You bake me a cake." You say, "Make me say, "Make me say, "Make me this very specific this very specific this very specific example of a cake that example of a cake that example of a cake that has this flavor, this has this flavor, this has this flavor, this density, and has, density, and has, density, and has, you know, this type of you know, this type of you know, this type of frosting and this many frosting and this many frosting and this many layers." It's just a much more layers." It's just a much more layers." It's just a much more specific specific specific request. So request. So request. So this entire document that this entire document that this entire document that explains explains explains some aspects in detail, I will give some aspects in detail, I will give some aspects in detail, I will give a link in my a link in my a link in my free free free school community school community school community absolutely absolutely absolutely free if you free if you free if you want to get it. want to get it. want to get it. And also this document And also this document And also this document that just explains that just explains that just explains how to get the most out of it how to get the most out of it how to get the most out of it , because I've , because I've , because I've found, having built found, having built found, having built a bunch of things, that it's so a bunch of things, that it's so a bunch of things, that it's so hard to just say, hard to just say, hard to just say, "Hey, let's go "Hey, let's go "Hey, let's go reverse reverse reverse engineer Loom." engineer Loom." engineer Loom." It's easier to choose It's easier to choose It's easier to choose features. So, you've features. So, you've features. So, you've been using Loom for a bit been using Loom for a bit been using Loom for a bit and maybe you're thinking, and maybe you're thinking, "Okay, I want to "Okay, I want to "Okay, I want to create this myself." What are the create this myself." What are the create this myself." What are the best features of Loom that best features of Loom that best features of Loom that I like? Or I like? Or , you know, I want to , you know, I want to , you know, I want to redesign my CRM. redesign my CRM. redesign my CRM. What features of Salesforce or What features of Salesforce or What features of Salesforce or something else I something else I something else I use do I use do I use do I really, really really, really really, really like? Okay, like? Okay, like? Okay, now we now we now we use use use our agent to our agent to our agent to select these specific select these specific select these specific features, examine them features, examine them , decompile them, and , decompile them, and , decompile them, and then port them into then port them into then port them into our own application. our own application. our own application. And then, for And then, for And then, for fun, I wrote fun, I wrote fun, I wrote Claude's code for the Claude's code for the Claude's code for the anything framework, anything framework, anything framework, reverse reverse reverse engineered the engineered the engineered the anything repository. This anything repository. This anything repository. This helped me helped me helped me understand how it understand how it understand how it works better so I works better so I works better so I could use it better could use it better could use it better , , , guide guide guide my agents better, and my agents better, and my agents better, and train them better on how to use train them better on how to use train them better on how to use it. So, it. So, it. So, here's what we have. Five here's what we have. Five here's what we have. Five main steps main steps main steps I want you I want you I want you guys to think about guys to think about guys to think about when using when using when using this repository.

this repository. this repository. Choose a feature, Choose a feature, Choose a feature, route by route by route by assembly, assembly, assembly, summarize first, see, summarize first, see, summarize first, see, output the unknown, output the unknown, output the unknown, then rebuild and then rebuild and then rebuild and test. So, we've test. So, we've test. So, we've talked talked talked about this a little bit, haven't we? Not about this a little bit, haven't we? Not about this a little bit, haven't we? Not just pointing to the just pointing to the just pointing to the entire application, but entire application, but entire application, but pointing to pointing to pointing to specific behavior specific behavior specific behavior and functionality. and functionality. and functionality. Now, from there, Now, from there, Now, from there, think about think about think about routing by routing by routing by build, which means build, which means build, which means what what what the application is built on, choosing the the application is built on, choosing the the application is built on, choosing the tools for tools for tools for that. So, once you that. So, once you that. So, once you understand exactly what understand exactly what understand exactly what application or application or application or software you software you software you are looking at and how are looking at and how are looking at and how it actually exists, it actually exists, it actually exists, then you can then you can then you can change the way the change the way the change the way the agent thinks about agent thinks about agent thinks about analyzing it to analyzing it to analyzing it to use the use the use the right right right tools. And it's not something tools. And it's not something tools. And it's not something I know by I know by I know by heart. I would just heart. I would just heart. I would just make sure I give make sure I give make sure I give the agent the context of what the agent the context of what the agent the context of what you should be thinking you should be thinking you should be thinking about these kinds of things when it comes about these kinds of things when it comes about these kinds of things when it comes to the to the to the technology stack. technology stack. technology stack. Now, number three, this is a Now, number three, this is a Now, number three, this is a brief brief brief summary first. So, REA summary first. So, REA summary first. So, REA will analyze the entire will analyze the entire will analyze the entire application and provide you with a application and provide you with a application and provide you with a brief summary. But brief summary. But , for example, the entire , for example, the entire , for example, the entire analysis for Loom took up analysis for Loom took up analysis for Loom took up over a gigabyte. So over a gigabyte. So over a gigabyte. So basically the analysis basically the analysis basically the analysis turns into a turns into a turns into a shorter summary for shorter summary for shorter summary for Claude to Claude to Claude to read in full, and read in full, and read in full, and it's things like how it's things like how it's things like how it works, how this thing it works, how this thing it works, how this thing does what it does what it does what it does, and what he can't does, and what he can't does, and what he can't figure out yet. And figure out yet. And figure out yet. And then what happens is that then what happens is that then what happens is that it it it breaks it down more breaks it down more breaks it down more into modules in into modules in into modules in the trace, but you the trace, but you the trace, but you don't have to re don't have to re don't have to re -run that whole -run that whole -run that whole report, which is something you report, which is something you report, which is something you can easily can easily can easily get into if you get into if you get into if you 're not careful with 're not careful with 're not careful with how you how you how you instruct it, because instruct it, because instruct it, because it's already saved it's already saved it's already saved locally in that locally in that locally in that project or somewhere in project or somewhere in project or somewhere in your files. Now, your files. Now, your files. Now, this fourth point is this fourth point is this fourth point is really important, which really important, which really important, which is: once he is: once he is: once he starts digging and starts digging and starts digging and understanding what's understanding what's understanding what's going on, Claude going on, Claude going on, Claude should mark it should mark it should mark it as seen, inferred, as seen, inferred, as seen, inferred, or unknown. And these are or unknown. And these are or unknown. And these are essentially three different essentially three different essentially three different categories, meaning what categories, meaning what categories, meaning what was seen is what was seen is what was seen is what Claude actually Claude actually Claude actually found and was found and was found and was cited. So, for Loom cited. So, for Loom , 11 custom , 11 custom

, 11 custom native add-ons, native add-ons, native add-ons, he found it and he found it and he found it and understands how they understands how they understands how they work. The inference is that work. The inference is that work. The inference is that , oh, the data and the code , oh, the data and the code , oh, the data and the code indicate that this is how it indicate that this is how it indicate that this is how it works, but works, but works, but it's more of a guess. it's more of a guess. it's more of a guess. We don't really We don't really We don't really know for sure. And the know for sure. And the know for sure. And the reason why this is so reason why this is so reason why this is so important is because important is because important is because if you if you if you take some of these take some of these take some of these guesses and guesses and guesses and assumptions that assumptions that assumptions that Claude might be making Claude might be making and then and then and then build on them build on them as if they were facts, you as if they were facts, you as if they were facts, you can get into some can get into some can get into some pretty confusing pretty confusing pretty confusing situations. And then, of situations. And then, of situations. And then, of course, we have things course, we have things that are completely that are completely that are completely unknown. REA couldn't unknown. REA couldn't unknown. REA couldn't see them see them see them inside the native inside the native inside the native recorder or recorder or recorder or inside the app inside the app inside the app you're actually you're actually you're actually using or using or using or viewing. And these are the kinds of viewing. And these are the kinds of viewing. And these are the kinds of things you can things you can things you can do with do with do with this reverse this reverse this reverse engineering of engineering of anything from a framework and a anything from a framework and a anything from a framework and a repository, that if repository, that if repository, that if you just said, " you just said, " Hey, Claude, look Hey, Claude, look Hey, Claude, look at this program, at this program, at this program, test it, test test it, test test it, test it, and then build it," it, and then build it," it, and then build it," that's where there's a big that's where there's a big that's where there's a big difference in difference in difference in how how how professional and, I professional and, I professional and, I think, think, think, structured structured structured that process feels that process feels that process feels when you when you when you use this use this use this repository. And then, repository. And then, repository. And then, of course, of course, of course, the most important part of the most important part of the most important part of any any any build process is build process is build process is rebuilding and rebuilding and rebuilding and testing. So testing. So testing. So now you take all now you take all now you take all these conclusions that you've these conclusions that you've these conclusions that you've gotten and then you gotten and then you gotten and then you build on them. And you build on them. And you build on them. And you don't just create, you don't just create, you don't just create, you also review, also review, also review, iterate, and actually iterate, and actually iterate, and actually test these things. You test these things. You test these things. You run these run these run these test cases, you test cases, you test cases, you actually process actually process actually process things. So, it's not things. So, it's not things. So, it's not just being built, just being built, just being built, but it's actually but it's actually but it's actually being run and being run and being run and tested and then tested and then tested and then iterated on, not iterated on, not iterated on, not just, you know, just, you know, just, you know, shipping something shipping something shipping something once because it once because it once because it feels like it's already been feels like it's already been feels like it's already been done. And the last thing done. And the last thing done. And the last thing I want to I want to I want to talk about here is that talk about here is that talk about here is that you should never you should never you should never copy exact code copy exact code copy exact code or resources. There or resources. There or resources. There are definitely are definitely are definitely some legal some legal some legal limitations here when you limitations here when you limitations here when you delve deeply into what's delve deeply into what's delve deeply into what's going on.

going on. going on. But for the most part, you But for the most part, you But for the most part, you also have to also have to also have to remember that you're remember that you're remember that you're only looking at only looking at only looking at Claude's code, or any Claude's code, or any Claude's code, or any other other other AI you AI you AI you use, use, use, only looking at only looking at only looking at what already exists and what you what already exists and what you what already exists and what you can capture. can capture. can capture. So, you know, you're not So, you know, you're not So, you know, you're not going to going to going to tell this thing to tell this thing to tell this thing to hack, for example, a hack, for example, a hack, for example, a Loom server or the Loom server or the Loom server or the private IP code base of private IP code base of private IP code base of some application or some application or software. You software. You probably wouldn't even be able to probably wouldn't even be able to get in there, but, get in there, but, you know, you're not you know, you're not you know, you're not going to going to going to tell your tell your tell your AI to AI to AI to hack it. You hack it. You hack it. You parse what it already parse what it already parse what it already sees in your sees in your sees in your local files, or local files, or if you have an API, whatever it if you have an API, whatever it if you have an API, whatever it is, it is, it is, it just checks how just checks how just checks how it already works and what is it already works and what is it already works and what is already there. already there. already there. And this whole process And this whole process And this whole process of decompilation is something that of decompilation is something that of decompilation is something that people are already doing people are already doing people are already doing because it literally because it literally because it literally exists, it's public, exists, it's public, exists, it's public, it's in your hands. But it's in your hands. But it's in your hands. But people obviously people obviously people obviously go through it go through it go through it much more slowly much more slowly much more slowly than the agent. And also, than the agent. And also, than the agent. And also, most people, I most people, I most people, I definitely wouldn't be able to definitely wouldn't be able to definitely wouldn't be able to read the code, read the code, read the code, read all those read all those read all those traces, traces, traces, decompile it, and decompile it, and decompile it, and then build my then build my then build my own app own app own app based on that. Next, based on that. Next, based on that. Next, some apps some apps some apps require different require different require different types of setup, types of setup, types of setup, you know, based on you know, based on you know, based on what we talked about a little bit what we talked about a little bit what we talked about a little bit earlier about earlier about earlier about where they actually where they actually where they actually are and are and are and how you need to how you need to how you need to configure it. And of configure it. And of configure it. And of course, ultimately, course, ultimately, course, ultimately, the results you the results you the results you get from this get from this get from this thing are based on an thing are based on an thing are based on an artificial artificial artificial intelligence model that intelligence model that intelligence model that actually writes the code and actually writes the code and actually writes the code and tests it. So tests it. So tests it. So you can't just you can't just you can't just assume that, well, assume that, well, assume that, well, once you've given your once you've given your once you've given your AI model to this AI model to this AI model to this repository, it's repository, it's repository, it's just going to magically just going to magically just going to magically pull everything together. But pull everything together. But pull everything together. But what I think is what I think is what I think is cool is that, cool is that, cool is that, let's say you have let's say you have software that you were software that you were building building building with Opus 5.5, and with Opus 5.5, and with Opus 5.5, and maybe you want maybe you want maybe you want to try it to try it to try it with Sonnet 5.5, but with Sonnet 5.5, but with Sonnet 5.5, but it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't possible before. But now, possible before. But now, possible before. But now, if Sonnet 5.5 has all this if Sonnet 5.5 has all this if Sonnet 5.5 has all this data that was done data that was done data that was done based on this based on this based on this research, maybe research, maybe research, maybe Sonnet 5.5 can collect it Sonnet 5.5 can collect it Sonnet 5.5 can collect it for you now, and you for you now, and you for you now, and you can collect it can collect it can collect it much cheaper than much cheaper than much cheaper than if you had if you had if you had been using Opus all along.

been using Opus all along. been using Opus all along. So, those are a few things So, those are a few things So, those are a few things I wanted to I wanted to I wanted to talk about. I'll talk about. I'll talk about. I'll link to all of this in link to all of this in link to all of this in my free my free my free school community school community school community and post this and post this and post this repository in the description of repository in the description of repository in the description of this video if you this video if you this video if you want to want to want to watch it. You watch it. You watch it. You can also just can also just can also just search for it on Google search for it on Google search for it on Google or by chance, it or by chance, it or by chance, it will probably be the first thing will probably be the first thing will probably be the first thing you see. So you see. So you see. So now, I think there now, I think there now, I think there are are are a couple of things that are interesting about this. When I a couple of things that are interesting about this. When I a couple of things that are interesting about this. When I gave two different gave two different gave two different encoding agents the encoding agents the encoding agents the same command, same command, same command, except that except that except that one of them one of them one of them used a used a used a repository and the other did not repository and the other did not , the one that did not , the one that did not , the one that did not use a use a use a repository always repository always repository always finished finished finished first, but the one that first, but the one that first, but the one that used a used a used a repository repository repository finished finished finished slower but had slower but had slower but had much better much better much better results. Because, results. Because, results. Because, as I said, they as I said, they as I said, they were able to were able to were able to use these use these use these frameworks inside the frameworks inside the frameworks inside the REA repository that REA repository that REA repository that understand how to understand how to understand how to break things down a little better. break things down a little better. break things down a little better. It's this It's this It's this REA investigation process that REA investigation process that REA investigation process that makes it so makes it so makes it so popular, I think. popular, I think. popular, I think. This thing is really This thing is really This thing is really picking up steam fast. It picking up steam fast. It picking up steam fast. It has 192 thousand stars. has 192 thousand stars. has 192 thousand stars. If I refresh If I refresh If I refresh the page, we'll the page, we'll the page, we'll go up to what? go up to what? go up to what? 195? 196 thousand? And it was 195? 196 thousand? And it was 195? 196 thousand? And it was probably 30 minutes ago probably 30 minutes ago probably 30 minutes ago when I last when I last when I last updated this. Now, another updated this. Now, another updated this. Now, another thing that I thing that I thing that I think is really interesting is that think is really interesting is that coding agents coding agents will just improve their will just improve their will just improve their knowledge of this. Well, I knowledge of this. Well, I knowledge of this. Well, I think this whole idea of think this whole idea of think this whole idea of reverse reverse reverse engineering, now that engineering, now that engineering, now that this framework this framework this framework has exploded on X, I wouldn't be has exploded on X, I wouldn't be has exploded on X, I wouldn't be shocked if the shocked if the shocked if the next version of Opus, next version of Opus, next version of Opus, Fable, Astra, Soul, and other Fable, Astra, Soul, and other Fable, Astra, Soul, and other models had a little models had a little models had a little better implementation of this.

better implementation of this. better implementation of this. But, in any case But, in any case , it's a really cool , it's a really cool , it's a really cool tool. It definitely tool. It definitely tool. It definitely helps people who helps people who helps people who don't have formal don't have formal programming or programming or software development experience software development experience create things that create things that look a little look a little look a little more professional. And more professional. And more professional. And remember, remember, remember, the concept of reverse the concept of reverse the concept of reverse engineering is engineering is engineering is nothing new. You've nothing new. You've nothing new. You've probably been doing this in probably been doing this in probably been doing this in your your your workflow without even workflow without even workflow without even realizing it. realizing it. realizing it. We can just We can just We can just give our agents a give our agents a give our agents a much more much more much more specific PRD without specific PRD without specific PRD without going through this going through this going through this painful process painful process painful process of creating a PRD, because of creating a PRD, because of creating a PRD, because we already have a role we already have a role we already have a role model that we model that we model that we look up to, like: this is look up to, like: this is look up to, like: this is what we want. Now what we want. Now what we want. Now let's create it. let's create it. let's create it. So, I hope this all made So, I hope this all made So, I hope this all made sense. sense. sense. I hope I hope I hope you can now look you can now look you can now look at reverse at reverse at reverse engineering from a engineering from a engineering from a different perspective, meaning it's different perspective, meaning it's different perspective, meaning it's not just about not just about reverse reverse engineering software applications, but also about engineering software applications, but also about engineering software applications, but also about processes, skills, and processes, skills, and processes, skills, and things that actually things that actually things that actually happen in happen in happen in your daily your daily your daily life or in your life or in your life or in your business. Find business. Find business. Find someone who has done someone who has done someone who has done something really well and something really well and something really well and proven they can proven they can proven they can do it well, and then do it well, and then do it well, and then understand why it understand why it understand why it worked and how it worked and how it worked and how it applies to applies to applies to your context, to your context, to your context, to your personal your personal your personal workflows. workflows. workflows. So, that was the video for So, that was the video for So, that was the video for today. I hope today. I hope today. I hope you enjoyed it and you enjoyed it and you enjoyed it and learned something new. learned something new. learned something new. I hope everything was I hope everything was I hope everything was clear. If so, please like it clear. If so, please like it clear. If so, please like it , it will , it will , it will help me a lot. And, help me a lot. And, help me a lot. And, as always, I appreciate as always, I appreciate as always, I appreciate you you you joining me in this joining me in this joining me in this video, and I'll see you video, and I'll see you video, and I'll see you in the next one. Thank you in the next one. Thank you in the next one. Thank you all.
