Code Reverse Engineering Agent (CRE Agent)

The Code Reverse Engineering Agent (CRE Agent) is a cloud-native autonomous AI agent purpose-built to help enterprises rapidly understand, document, and assess large, complex application codebases which is a critical first step in any modernization initiative. Designed using Presidio Human AI (HAI) approach, it blends intelligent automation with expert-informed analysis to accelerate system discovery, reduce manual effort, and guide architecture decisions with clarity and confidence.

By performing a holistic analysis of large complex applications, the agent uncovers architectural patterns, hidden dependencies, technology stacks, and structural inefficiencies, delivering actionable insight during project onboarding, pre-modernization planning, audits, and technical due diligence.

Key Capabilities

• Architecture Analysis: Identifies architectural styles, application layers (backend/UI separation), and entry points providing clear visualizations of system flow and structure.

• Folder & Module Structure Analysis: Evaluates how code and resources are organized within the project, highlighting modularity, coupling, and separation of concerns.

• Dependency Mapping: Detects both explicit and implicit dependencies, including third-party libraries, version management issues, and integration points.

• UI Integration & Data Flow Analysis: Analyzes how frontend components interact with backend services, APIs, and templates offering sequence diagrams and insights into user interaction flow.

• Technology Stack Evaluation: Identifies core programming languages, libraries, and frameworks in use, and evaluates implementation approaches.

• Design Pattern Analysis: Detects applied patterns, assesses their correctness and effectiveness, and recommends refinements where needed.

• External Integration Mapping: Maps external APIs, authentication mechanisms, and data flows, with annotated visual diagrams to understand third-party dependencies.
