3 use cases

  • Find a reverse-engineering case for an old device

    Match a legacy printer, scanner, or appliance to a documented case and check its evidence status.

    View prompt
    Use the GitHub repo songshikang0111/awesome-REA-cases to find cases for <device model>. Return up to five matching case titles with links, each marked with its status and whether its evidence was independently reproduced. Verify that each status comes from the case page, not from the README summary.

  • Compare REA agent setups before a reverse-engineering project

    Use the LeanREA benchmark and related cases to choose between CLI and MCP for a coding agent.

    View prompt
    Read the LeanREA case in the songshikang0111/awesome-REA-cases repo and summarize its CLI versus MCP comparison for <target task>. Output the reported scores, time, and cost, and state whether the result was independently rerun. Check that the limits (one model, one machine) are included in your summary.

  • Scope a firmware or driver fix from a documented case

    Adapt a published exact-build patch or driver fix to your own device after checking its limits.

    View prompt
    Using the songshikang0111/awesome-REA-cases repo, open the case for <device and problem>. List the exact build, hardware, and test conditions it reports, then compare them with my device build <build number>. Output a go or no-go decision with reasons, and state which claims the README marks as not independently reproduced.

How to use Awesome REA Cases

  1. Check you have what it needs: A web browser to read the README, the category pages, and linked case pages; A legally obtained target device or software, with any needed permissions, for any hands-on work; Optional: a coding agent such as Claude Code or Codex for case-driven work.
  2. Open songshikang0111/awesome-REA-cases on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Open the Browse by category table in the README and choose Hardware & interoperability (149 entries) or Games & preservation (139 entries).
  4. Scan the Recent picks list and the Classic cases list for your device or product family.
  5. Open the matching case page and read its evidence notes and project status.
  6. Check the source or author-update date and the Update & evidence notes before trusting any result.

These steps come from our top use case, Find a reverse-engineering case for an old device, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
