Web reverse engineering tools and workflows. An agent skill from schlarpc/re-shell.

  • Tasks that involve gRPC and Protobuf
  • SKILL.md covers Protocol Buffers & gRPC, HTTP & TLS, WebSocket and HTML Parsing, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls curl and python3
  • Tasks that involve Reverse engineering and malware

What it does

Web Re is an agent skill from schlarpc/re-shell. Web reverse engineering tools and workflows. Auto-activates when context involves protobuf, gRPC, HAR files, HTTP API analysis, WebSocket, web scraping, TLS fingerprinting, curl-impersonate, or web protocol reverse engineering.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering gRPC and Protobuf, Reverse engineering and malware and Realtime and WebSockets. It works with gRPC and Python. The repository describes itself as: Nix-powered agentic reverse engineering environment.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve gRPC and Protobuf
  • Tasks that involve Reverse engineering and malware
  • Tasks that involve Realtime and WebSockets

Example prompts

  • “/web-re”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd9d858. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Web Re loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 320 words (~1,382 tokens).

“This skill covers web-specific RE tools available in the dev shell. For general-purpose tools (mitmproxy, tshark, jq, etc.), see CLAUDE.md.”
