Agent skill · Categories · Hot this week · Add a project
Agents and tools like REA and Ghidra make reverse engineering faster than ever. Still, the app, API, device or file format you are about to open has often been done already, and the work sits in a repo nobody links to.
12,871 projects with 10.6M GitHub stars between them: 7,079 active, 1,957 slowing down, 2,489 dormant, 898 archived. Top languages: Python (3,299), C++ (1,860), C (1,697), JavaScript (841), TypeScript (735).
When a task needs to talk to something with no official API (a smart plug, a car, a chat app, a file format), your agent searches this index, ranks by stars, activity and license, reads the README, and picks the right tool.
