How It Leaked

Chaofan Shou (@Fried_rice) discovered that the published npm package for Claude Code included a .map file referencing the full, unobfuscated TypeScript source — downloadable as a zip from Anthropic’s R2 storage bucket.

“Claude code source code has been leaked via a map file in their npm registry!”

— @Fried_rice, March 31, 2026

What Is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic’s official CLI tool for interacting with Claude directly from the terminal — editing files, running commands, searching codebases, managing git workflows, and more. This repository contains the leaked src/ directory.

� Documentation

For in-depth guides, see the docs/ directory:

Also see: CONTRIBUTING.md · MCP Server README

�🔍 Explore with MCP Server

This repo ships an MCP server that lets any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Cursor) explore the full source interactively.

Install from npm

The MCP server is published as warrioraashuu-codemaster on npm — no need to clone the repo:

# Claude Code
claude mcp add warrioraashuu-codemaster -- npx -y warrioraashuu-codemaster

One-liner setup (from source)

git clone https://github.com/codeaashu/claude-code.git ~/claude-code \
  && cd ~/claude-code/mcp-server \
  && npm install && npm run build \
  && claude mcp add claude-code-explorer -- node ~/claude-code/mcp-server/dist/index.js

# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/codeaashu/claude-code.git
cd claude-code/mcp-server

# 2. Install & build
npm install && npm run build

# 3. Register with Claude Code
claude mcp add claude-code-explorer -- node /absolute/path/to/claude-code/mcp-server/dist/index.js

Architecture

1. Tool System

src/tools/ — Every tool Claude can invoke is a self-contained module with its own input schema, permission model, and execution logic.

2. Command System

src/commands/ — User-facing slash commands invoked with / in the REPL.

3. Service Layer

src/services/ — External integrations and core infrastructure.

4. Bridge System

src/bridge/ — Bidirectional communication layer connecting IDE extensions (VS Code, JetBrains) with the CLI.

Key files: bridgeMain.ts (main loop) · bridgeMessaging.ts (protocol) · bridgePermissionCallbacks.ts (permission callbacks) · replBridge.ts (REPL session) · jwtUtils.ts (JWT auth) · sessionRunner.ts (session execution)

5. Permission System

src/hooks/toolPermission/ — Checks permissions on every tool invocation.

Prompts the user for approval/denial or auto-resolves based on the configured permission mode: default, plan, bypassPermissions, auto, etc.

6. Feature Flags

Dead code elimination at build time via Bun’s bun:bundle:

import { feature } from 'bun:bundle'

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
