# Reverse Engineer

Reverse-engineer an external system into two things: a **teardown** (feature
inventory, a registry of where to read, CLI and contract 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.

## ⚠<U+FE0F> 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.
