alt Hacker NewsI built the same thing as this just for websites. [0] I'm more interested in using Claude recursion to tune itself -- the agent writes itself, the agent -- than hacking websites. It is a good demonstration that 47 iterations of a recursive Claude agent writing itself to decompose any transport.
I've tested it against YouTube, Twitch, Ticketmaster, and Yahoo Finance. It will detect any transport like JSON, WebSocket, GraphQL, SSE, Protbuf, UDP, WebRTC, ect.. It after 3 hours and some coaching succeeded in reverse engineering ChatGPT + Cloudflare Turnstile but I didn't merge that into it yet.
It works by Claude using the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) intercepting all traffic.

Nice ty for sharing I was going to build something like this for a customer.
I think just downloading all network traffic and giving it to claude code is the fastest and cheapest approach for 99% use cases.
We’ve essentially been using that “recursion” to tune our agent. Having the agent build itself is not something I would have ever thought of though. Curious if you find it genuinely creates specific enough tools for it to be worth the setup time? I have a claude skill that takes in a chat and then offers tools/fixes to system prompt. Have found that + the anthropic harness engineering blogs to be super useful in making the agent actually do the work.
