Claude Code Exposure Archive, Python Porting Context, and OmX Workflow Notes

This repository keeps a publicly exposed Claude Code source snapshot that became accessible on March 31, 2026 through a source map exposure in the npm distribution, together with companion essay/context notes and OmX-assisted documentation work.

---

Archive Context

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:

• 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.

Why this archive exists (and what it is not)

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 the essay linked above—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 keeps that essay in view 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.

Built with oh-my-codex

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.

• $team mode: used for coordinated parallel review of repo fit, wording risk, and final architecture consistency.
• $ralph mode: 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.

How the Public Snapshot Became Accessible

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!"

— @Fried_rice, March 31, 2026

The published source map referenced unobfuscated TypeScript sources hosted in Anthropic's R2 storage bucket, which made the src/ snapshot publicly downloadable.

---

Repository Scope

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.

• Public exposure identified on: 2026-03-31
• Language: TypeScript
• Runtime: Bun
• Terminal UI: React + Ink
• Scale: ~1,900 files, 512,000+ lines of code

Architecture Summary

1. Tool System (src/tools/)

Every tool Claude Code can invoke is implemented as a self-contained module. Each tool defines its input schema, permission model, and execution logic.

Tool	Description
BashTool	Shell command execution
FileReadTool	File reading (images, PDFs, notebooks)
FileWriteTool	File creation / overwrite
FileEditTool	Partial file modification (string replacement)
GlobTool	File pattern matching search
GrepTool	ripgrep-based content search
WebFetchTool	Fetch URL content
WebSearchTool	Web search
AgentTool	Sub-agent spawning
SkillTool	Skill execution
MCPTool	MCP server tool invocation
LSPTool	Language Server Protocol integration
NotebookEditTool	Jupyter notebook editing
TaskCreateTool / TaskUpdateTool	Task creation and management
SendMessageTool	Inter-agent messaging
TeamCreateTool / TeamDeleteTool	Team agent management
EnterPlanModeTool / ExitPlanModeTool	Plan mode toggle
EnterWorktreeTool / ExitWorktreeTool	Git worktree isolation
ToolSearchTool	Deferred tool discovery
CronCreateTool	Scheduled trigger creation
RemoteTriggerTool	Remote trigger
SleepTool	Proactive mode wait
SyntheticOutputTool	Structured output generation

2. Command System (src/commands/)

User-facing slash commands invoked with / prefix.

Command	Description
/commit	Create a git commit
/review	Code review
/compact	Context compression
/mcp	MCP server management
/config	Settings management
/doctor	Environment diagnostics
/login / /logout	Authentication
/memory	Persistent memory management
/skills	Skill management
/tasks	Task management
/vim	Vim mode toggle
/diff	View changes
/cost	Check usage cost
/theme	Change theme
/context	Context visualization
/pr_comments	View PR comments
/resume	Restore previous session
/share	Share session
/desktop	Desktop app handoff
/mobile	Mobile app handoff

3. Service Layer (src/services/)

Service	Description
api/	Anthropic API client, file API, bootstrap
mcp/	Model Context Protocol server connection and management
oauth/	OAuth 2.0 authentication flow
lsp/	Language Server Protocol manager
analytics/	GrowthBook-based feature flags and analytics
plugins/	Plugin loader
compact/	Conversation context compression
policyLimits/	Organization policy limits
remoteManagedSettings/	Remote managed settings
extractMemories/	Automatic memory extraction
tokenEstimation.ts	Token count estimation
teamMemorySync/	Team memory synchronization

4. Bridge System (src/bridge/)

A bidirectional communication layer connecting IDE extensions (VS Code, JetBrains) with the Claude Code CLI.

• bridgeMain.ts — Bridge main loop
• bridgeMessaging.ts — Message protocol
• bridgePermissionCallbacks.ts — Permission callbacks
• replBridge.ts — REPL session bridge
• jwtUtils.ts — JWT-based authentication
• sessionRunner.ts — Session execution management

5. Permission System (src/hooks/toolPermission/)

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.).

6. Feature Flags

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
  : null

Notable flags: PROACTIVE, KAIROS, BRIDGE_MODE, DAEMON, VOICE_MODE, AGENT_TRIGGERS, MONITOR_TOOL

Key Files in Detail

QueryEngine.ts (~46K lines)

The core engine for LLM API calls. Handles streaming responses, tool-call loops, thinking mode, retry logic, and token counting.

Tool.ts (~29K lines)

Defines base types and interfaces for all tools — input schemas, permission models, and progress state types.

commands.ts (~25K lines)

Manages registration and execution of all slash commands. Uses conditional imports to load different command sets per environment.

main.tsx

Commander.js-based CLI parser and React/Ink renderer initialization. At startup, it overlaps MDM settings, keychain prefetch, and GrowthBook initialization for faster boot.

---

Tech Stack

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

---

Notable Design Patterns

Parallel Prefetch

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()

Lazy Loading

Heavy modules (OpenTelemetry, gRPC, analytics, and some feature-gated subsystems) are deferred via dynamic import() until actually needed.

Agent Swarms

Sub-agents are spawned via AgentTool, with coordinator/ handling multi-agent orchestration. TeamCreateTool enables team-level parallel work.

Skill System

Reusable workflows defined in skills/ are executed through SkillTool. Users can add custom skills.

Plugin Architecture

Built-in and third-party plugins are loaded through the plugins/ subsystem.
