4 use cases

  • Extract a website's design system from its live pages

    Pull colors, type, spacing and component styles from a site's computed styles with Dembrandt.

    View prompt
    Use the dembrandt project from the Awesome-REA tools list to extract the design system of <target-site-url>, which I own or have permission to analyze. Return the color roles, typography, spacing and button and input styles as a short report. Verify that each color value matches a computed style on the live page.

  • Make minified JavaScript readable before auditing it

    Unpack bundles and rename minified identifiers so shipped JavaScript can be reviewed.

    View prompt
    Using the webcrack or wakaru entries from the Awesome-REA README, make the minified bundle at <path-to-bundle.js> readable and save the output to <output-folder>. Report the modules and any endpoints or API calls you find. Verify that the bundle's exported names still match the original file.

  • Turn captured app traffic into an API spec

    Capture HTTP calls from an app, then generate an OpenAPI spec or MCP tools from them.

    View prompt
    Using mitmproxy and Spectral from the Awesome-REA README, analyze the redacted HTTP capture at <capture-file> from <target-app> and produce an OpenAPI 3.1 draft in <output-file>. Note any endpoints that need authentication. Verify two generated endpoints against the live service before reporting success.

  • Study the legacy WhatsApp Web protocol from a documented case

    Learn how a browser messaging session was paired, keyed and encrypted from a written case.

    View prompt
    Using the whatsapp-web-reveng case in the Awesome-REA README, explain the pairing, key setup and message encryption stages of the legacy WhatsApp Web protocol to a reader. Output a numbered summary with one paragraph per stage. Verify each claim against the linked repository before stating it.
