The fully reverse-engineered and deobfuscated source code of Claude Code CLI
This is a reverse-engineered, deobfuscated version of Claude Code CLI v1.0.115.
This repository contains:
- 🔬 Fully deobfuscated source code extracted from the original webpack bundle
- 📚 Comprehensive documentation detailing the internal architecture
- 🗺️ Complete module mapping showing how 50,360 lines were reorganized into readable modules
- 🏗️ Architectural analysis of the event-driven, streaming-first design
This project is provided for educational and research purposes only. The original Claude Code is property of Anthropic. Users should:
- Respect Anthropic's intellectual property rights
- Use this for learning and understanding, not for commercial purposes
- Comply with all applicable laws and Anthropic's terms of service
- Understand that this is NOT an official release
This repository contains the complete deobfuscation of Claude Code CLI v1.0.115, transforming:
| Original | Deobfuscated |
|---|---|
| 50,360 lines of webpack-bundled code | 6,409 lines of clean, organized Claude code |
| Minified, obfuscated variables | Meaningful function and variable names |
| Single massive file | 71 organized modules across logical directories |
| No documentation | Comprehensive architectural documentation |
| Unreadable control flow | Clear, understandable program structure |
- Static Analysis: Parsed the webpack bundle to identify module boundaries
- Variable Recovery: Restored ~10,000+ mangled variable names using contextual analysis
- Function Extraction: Identified and separated ~500+ individual functions
- Module Reconstruction: Rebuilt the original ES6 module structure
- Type Inference: Reconstructed TypeScript-like interfaces from usage patterns
- Documentation Generation: Created comprehensive docs from code analysis
- Node.js 18.0.0 or higher
- npm or yarn package manager
- Unix-like terminal (macOS, Linux, WSL for Windows)

While this is primarily a research/educational project, contributions are welcome for:
- Documentation improvements: Clarifying explanations, fixing errors
- Code organization: Better module structure, cleaner interfaces
- Missing features: Identifying and documenting unextracted functionality
- Analysis tools: Scripts for further deobfuscation or analysis
Please note:
- This is NOT intended to be a maintained fork
- No feature additions beyond what exists in v1.0.115
- Focus on understanding and documenting, not extending
