I might be missing something but... How exactly is this better than telling Claude for example to "install and set up a full RE environment including Ghidra" on my local system and get to work? Like what does this do that my current RE methodology doesn't?

Probably it is not better. I think this is aimed at people who do not have a “current RE methodology”, do not know enough to specify things like Ghidra, etc., but who do have a desire to feel like they reverse-engineered and can reliably predict that a conversation with a chatbot will make them feel that way.

		I mean thats not why I have Claude decompile things. I have it so it because my software should work exactly how I want it to.

Everybody has their own set of skills and specific scripts and tools to do this stuff. You might use Ghidra as the the kernel of those workflows, but you still want something more than just Claude freestyling, at least for now.

(Who knows if this'll be true 6 months from now.)

We're using vanilla Claude Code for ArtCraft apps [1], but we are especially careful not to touch Ghidra. We don't want decompilations or reverse engineering to spoil the work we're doing and expose us to copyright infringement.

I don't think it is better than just doing it yourself in Claude Code (in fact worse) but some people like cute UI for everything I guess.
