leanrea is an 8 KB skill file that tells a coding agent which plain CLI tools to use for reverse engineering, replacing the 207-tool REA MCP server. The author's test reports 38% faster, 35% cheaper, and a score of 74/75 against REA's 75/75. Caveats listed: 3 runs per task, one model, one machine, and Claude with no skill already performed decently. Replies question whether the lost point was a task where structured tool output beat parsing CLI text.
TL;DR Tweet reports leanrea, an 8 KB agent skill using plain CLI tools for reverse engineering, matching a 207-tool MCP server at lower time and cost.
