reverse-engineer SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
reverse-engineer from boshu2/agentops is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add boshu2/agentops/reverse-engineer@git:20261010.407c70bPins git:20261010.407c70b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Tear down a competitor''s repo or product into a feature inventory and adoption choices. Use when: comparing us to another tool or asking what to steal.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Reverse Engineer Reverse-engineer an external system into two things: a **teardown** (the evidence: feature inventory, machine-checkable registry and specs, optionally a security audit) and a **steal-map** (the decision: what to adopt into our surfaces and what to leave behind). A decision row that must cite evidence can be re-checked by anyone; a decision made from impressions cannot be re-checked by its own author. Deciding from a competitor's README is the failure this skill exists to prevent. ## ⚠️ Constraints — Hard Guardrails (MANDATORY) - Only operate on code/binaries you own or have **explicit written authorization** to analyze — this matters because unauthorized teardown is the legal/IP line. - Do not provide steps to bypass protections/ToS or to extract proprietary source/system prompts. - Do not output reconstructed proprietary source or embedded prompts (index only; redact in reports) — to prevent reproducing protected IP. - Redact secrets/tokens/keys if encountered; run the secret-scan gate over outputs to prevent credential leakage. - Always separate **docs say** vs **code proves** vs **hosted/control-plane**. ## Evidence rules …

How to install
mdr add boshu2/agentops/reverse-engineer@sha256:bacbaae4c5d0c1eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.407c70b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
