Can my agent build any of these products?
That's the premise: choose a product from Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix or Google and
use your coding agent to build an independent implementation in your project. Product
research and candidate projects are a starting point, not a limit on what you can build.
How does RAE help me get started?
The catalog brings together product behavior, research and open-source projects that
may be useful foundations. Review what fits your needs, then ask your coding agent to
build and test an independent version in your project. A product skill is available as a direct handoff.
What sources can the research use?
The research uses public product information, official documentation, published protocols and observations of unauthenticated web pages. It does not use proprietary source, decompile software, copy protected assets or bypass access controls.
What should I check before building?
Review the cited sources, candidate project licenses and any third-party rights that apply to your implementation. Product names are functional references; no affiliation or endorsement is implied. Rights holders can raise an issue on the repository.
Do I need to be an expert to use a product skill?
No. Choose a product, give its skill file to your coding agent, and ask it to follow
the research, reuse and verification instructions in your project. The CLI and
docs/getting-started.md show how to get the skill.
What does “no verified alternative” mean?
The catalog has not verified a suitable open-source project for the same user needs. It does not mean you cannot build the product. Give its Markdown skill to your coding agent; the agent can assess current projects and build in your project.
How can I check a product entry?
Open its research dossier and follow the cited sources. Where available, the product page also links to a REA report with observations from a public web page. npm run validate checks record structure and generated files; it does not confirm that every research claim is correct or current.
