REA lets coding agents inspect what a program actually does

REA gives coding agents tools to inspect executables, libraries and Electron applications through functions, strings, references and call relationships. Its examples trace Windows Calculator behavior back to decompiled code and inspect browser code instead of guessing from screenshots. Setup requires Node.js and an agent configuration step. Treat this as a tool discovery: the page does not establish a launch date or independent accuracy benchmark.

REA

Why it matters

Useful when an explanation needs evidence from an unfamiliar program rather than a plausible reconstruction.

More context

Try it on software you are authorized to inspect, then check the cited code paths against observed behavior. The published examples expose the reasoning trail, which makes the agent’s explanation easier to review.

Keep in mind

Decompiled output and agent interpretations can be incomplete; the demonstrations do not establish universal binary support.
