This repository mirrors a publicly exposed Claude Code source snapshot that became accessible on March 31, 2026 through a source map exposure in the npm distribution. It is maintained for educational, defensive security research, and software supply-chain analysis.
This repository is maintained by a university student studying:
- software supply-chain exposure and build artifact leaks
- secure software engineering practices
- agentic developer tooling architecture
- defensive analysis of real-world CLI systems
This archive is intended to support:
- educational study
- security research practice
- architecture review
- discussion of packaging and release-process failures
Related research writing:
- Local archive copy — March 9, 2026: “Is legal the same as legitimate: AI reimplementation and the erosion of copyleft”
- Original publication — Hong Minhee, Is legal the same as legitimate: AI reimplementation and the erosion of copyleft
The essay is dated March 9, 2026, so it should be read as companion analysis that predates the March 31, 2026 source exposure documented below.
I initially kept this repository as a source-exposure archive so I could study the harness, tool wiring, and agent workflow. After sitting with the legal and ethical questions more seriously—and after reading Hong Minhee's essay—I no longer wanted the README to treat raw legality as the only frame.
This branch therefore takes a smaller and more honest step: it preserves Hong Minhee's essay as companion reading and makes the archive's research-only framing more explicit. This repository is still a mirrored TypeScript source snapshot for analysis; it is not a clean-room or Python rewrite.
The README/essay archival work on this branch was AI-assisted and orchestrated with Yeachan Heo's oh-my-codex (OmX), a workflow layer built around Codex.
$teammode: used for coordinated parallel review of repo fit, wording risk, and final architecture consistency.$ralphmode: used for persistent execution, verification, and final architect sign-off before claiming completion.- Codex-driven workflow: this documentation/contextualization pass was completed with Codex under OmX orchestration.
It does not claim ownership of the original code, and it should not be interpreted as an official Anthropic repository.
Chaofan Shou (@Fried_rice) publicly noted that Claude Code source material was reachable through a .map file exposed in the npm package:
"Claude code source code has been leaked via a map file in their npm registry!"
The published source map referenced unobfuscated TypeScript sources hosted in Anthropic's R2 storage bucket, which made the src/ snapshot publicly downloadable.
Claude Code is Anthropic's CLI for interacting with Claude from the terminal to perform software engineering tasks such as editing files, running commands, searching codebases, and coordinating workflows.
This repository contains a mirrored src/ snapshot for research and analysis.

Checks permissions on every tool invocation. Either prompts the user for approval/denial or automatically resolves based on the configured permission mode (default, plan, bypassPermissions, auto, etc.).
Dead code elimination via Bun's bun:bundle feature flags:
import { feature } from 'bun:bundle'
// Inactive code is completely stripped at build time
const voiceCommand = feature('VOICE_MODE')
? require('./commands/voice/index.js').default

The core engine for LLM API calls. Handles streaming responses, tool-call loops, thinking mode, retry logic, and token counting.
Defines base types and interfaces for all tools — input schemas, permission models, and progress state types.
Manages registration and execution of all slash commands. Uses conditional imports to load different command sets per environment.
Commander.js-based CLI parser and React/Ink renderer initialization. At startup, it overlaps MDM settings, keychain prefetch, and GrowthBook initialization for faster boot.
| Category | Technology |
|---|---|
| Runtime | Bun |
| Language | TypeScript (strict) |
| Terminal UI | React + Ink |
| CLI Parsing | Commander.js (extra-typings) |
| Schema Validation | Zod v4 |
| Code Search | ripgrep |
| Protocols | MCP SDK, LSP |
| API | Anthropic SDK |
| Telemetry | OpenTelemetry + gRPC |
| Feature Flags | GrowthBook |
| Auth | OAuth 2.0, JWT, macOS Keychain |
Startup time is optimized by prefetching MDM settings, keychain reads, and API preconnect in parallel before heavy module evaluation begins.
// main.tsx — fired as side-effects before other imports
startMdmRawRead()
startKeychainPrefetch()Heavy modules (OpenTelemetry, gRPC, analytics, and some feature-gated subsystems) are deferred via dynamic import() until actually needed.
Sub-agents are spawned via AgentTool, with coordinator/ handling multi-agent orchestration. TeamCreateTool enables team-level parallel work.
Reusable workflows defined in skills/ are executed through SkillTool. Users can add custom skills.
Built-in and third-party plugins are loaded through the plugins/ subsystem.
