There's honestly not much to say--I just described the bugs and it fixed them. This was just Opus 5. I put a stripped transcript here in case you want to look:

replyI'm pretty familiar with reverse engineering and for most of my career I doubt I went more than a month without patching some memory into 0x90. The explanations are perfectly reasonable and are close to what I expected. It's just that it would have taken me a week to find where to patch without the source!
I'm impressed it didn't seem to mention anything about what tools it was using, just straight to imports. Did you prepare any special tools for it, did you have WinDbg/Ghidra/... set up in Claude already? Or did it do this completely stock? Any idea if it even found pdb/symbols for the binary?
replyI dunno, this isn't surprising at all now. The latest models are just really really good at reverse engineering. I asked Astra whether it was possible to do a task with a binary (commercial) library. I didn't even ask it to reverse engineer it but it happily went ahead and decompiled it, found some undocumented functions, figured out how they worked and then wrote an example usage for me.
