+# API Reference: Reverse Engineering Binaries With Binary Ninja
+
+## Overview
+
+`scripts/analyst.py` generates Binary Ninja Python API analysis scripts that open a view, iterate
+functions, and export functions/strings to JSON. `check` reports whether the `binaryninja` API is
+importable. It only generates text and does not run Binary Ninja or a sample.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+| Package | Version | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|---------|
+| binaryninja | licensed | the analysis API (optional for generation) |
+| (stdlib) | — | JSON, file IO |
+
+## Core functions
+
+### `check()`
+Reports `binaryninja` API availability.
+
+### `skeleton(out, emit)`
+Writes a script using `binaryninja.open_view`, `bv.functions`, and `bv.get_strings`.
+
+## IL levels
+
+- LLIL: close to assembly.
+- MLIL: variables/SSA reasoning.
+- HLIL: readable pseudo-code.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+python scripts/analyst.py check
+python scripts/analyst.py skeleton --emit functions,strings --out bn_extract.py
+```
