Reverse-engineering skills
Load methodology for N64, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, SNES, Game Boy, Windows, and PC recompilation work.
RE-first · local-first · terminal-native
Bring a hammer to reverse engineering work.
RecompHamr is a lightweight terminal coding agent built for reverse engineering, decompilation, static recompilation, and unfamiliar native-code projects. It keeps local LLM workflows practical while still supporting OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
Ghidra MCP

AMD-priority profiles
Persistent project memory
Evidence-firstNo pretending when checks fail.
Sandbox-awareDesigned for devcontainers and VMs.
Skill-backedRE methods load only when needed.
MCP-readyExpose debugger and RE tools on demand.
Why it exists
Built for native codebases that do not explain themselves.
RecompHamr extends CodeHAMR with reverse-engineering specific skills, MCP integration, project handoff docs, and a system prompt tuned for codebases where symbols, docs, and build history may be incomplete.
Tool-gated MCP
Connect Ghidra, emulator debuggers, object diffing, recomp tooling, and more without flooding the model context.
Local model profiles
Seed AMD-priority local profiles for LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp/Vulkan, or any compatible endpoint.
Project memory
Persist reverse-engineering state in .rehamr/REPHAMR_STATE.md so the next session starts with context.
Suggested flow
Audit, trace, verify, then patch.
Use RecompHamr for projects where the safest path is measured progress, not guesswork.
Initialize the workspace
Run /init-re to create project state and capture assumptions before the agent starts modifying files.
Load only the right skills
Use /skills and /skill <name> so the prompt contains the methodology for your target platform.
Connect MCP when useful
Bring in Ghidra, emulator bridges, pcrecomp, objdiff, PCSX2, RPCS3, BizHawk, or other tools as needed.
Verify the environment
Run /doctor to check models, GPU drivers, toolchains, MCP status, endpoints, and workspace health.
Terminal demo
Lightweight enough to stay close to the repo.
Keep the workflow terminal-first: inspect files, generate focused patches, package reference repos, and record verified state without switching into a heavy IDE plugin stack.

Install
Build from source or install with Go.
Requires Go and git. Run RecompHamr inside the project you want it to help analyze.
Go install
go install github.com/DohmBoy64Bit/recomphamr/cmd/recomphamr@latestBuild from source
git clone https://github.com/DohmBoy64Bit/RecompHamr.git
cd RecompHamr
go build -o recomphamr ./cmd/recomphamr/
Run agents safely.
Model-generated shell commands can access your filesystem. Use a devcontainer, VM, or disposable workspace for risky targets.
Docs map
Jump straight to the pieces you will use most.
SkillsBuilt-in and custom RE skill loading.
MCP architectureTool filtering, server flow, and integration model.
DoctorEnvironment checks and validation output.
MemoryPersistent state across sessions and clears.
RepoMixr toolClone and pack reference repos for review.
ProfilesModel endpoint and context configuration.
Ready for a hard target?
Start with a workspace. Keep every claim verified.
Open a project, run recomphamr, initialize RE state, load the right skill, and let the agent work close to the evidence.
