    Reverse-engineering the Claude Slides editor with REA and rewriting it with Claude Code

    The author used the open-source project REA to reverse-engineer the Slides editor in Claude Slides, reproducing almost all of its functionality. The process: first download the core scripts and stylesheets from Claude Slides, then follow the instructions on the REA website to have Codex install REA, then use the REA Skill to reverse-engineer the obfuscated code, which yields code with a decent directory structure but a messy interior, and finally rewrite it with Claude Code 5.5 into well-structured, fully typed code.
