PS2 Recomp Mastery
An autonomous Claude Code skill that packages MIPS R5900 architecture knowledge and PS2Recomp project conventions so an AI agent can reverse-engineer and recompile PlayStation 2 games with persistent memory across sessions.
This is a skill for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Antigravity, or Cursor that gives them architectural knowledge, a procedural workflow, and persistent memory for reverse-engineering and recompiling PlayStation 2 games through the PS2Recomp project. It is meant to be used with the agent treated as an autonomous junior reverse engineer that runs cmake builds and the game executable itself, rather than as a chatbot the human drives step by step.
The agent keeps a PS2_PROJECT_STATE.md file as persistent memory, so a session can be paused and resumed later without losing track of which registers or functions were being analyzed, and it has circuit breakers that stop it and ask for help after repeated failures on the same crash rather than burning tokens indefinitely.
Using it requires a working native build toolchain (Visual Studio with Clang and CMake components), Ghidra with the EmotionEngine Reloaded plugin and a GhydraMCP extension for the agent to drive Ghidra directly, and a custom PCSX2 debug build.
