tangOS

A unified brand and toolkit for reverse-engineering / decompilation projects.

Everything reads one file per repo - tangos.json - a descriptor that normalizes any decomp repo (whatever its layout) into a single vocabulary. Point a tangOS app at a repo, and it knows the repo's tools, compiler, data source, and rules.

Download

tangOS Console ships as a desktop app that auto-updates from this repo's Releases.

• Windows - download and run the installer; it self-updates from here. Not code-signed yet, so Windows warns once: click More info, then Run anyway.

• macOS - download the .dmg (Intel or Apple Silicon). Unsigned, so right-click the app and choose Open (or run xattr -cr "/Applications/tangOS Console.app").

The descriptor: tangos.json

• Schema: schema/tangos.schema.json

• Reference example: sm64ds-decomp/tangos.json

• A repo that has no tangos.json yet gets one generated by Console (heuristic scan + optional AI refine).

The descriptor declares a tools[] registry; Console turns each entry into an MCP tool generically, so tangOS itself stays repo-agnostic while your repo's own tools do the work.

Optional project.matchConventions (attempt tree, near-miss DB, Ghidra drafts) lets Console / next_batch surface MATCH_RESULT logging the same way experimental Chaos Viewer prompts do — once per batch, with shared provenance defaults. Classic repos omit the block.
