Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | |----------|-------------| | ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | Your Anthropic API key (required to use Claude) | | FEATURE_FLAGS | Comma-separated list of feature flags to enable (e.g., KAIROS,VOICE_MODE) |

Notes

• Some modules from the original source were not included in the leak (Anthropic-internal @ant/* packages, some tools). These have been replaced with stubs that export no-ops.
• The bun:bundle feature flag system is shimmed via a Bun plugin at plugins/bunBundleDev.ts. All flags default to false unless enabled via FEATURE_FLAGS.
• The MACRO.* build-time constants are defined in bunfig.toml and injected by Bun's --define system.

Overview

Claude Code is Anthropic's official CLI tool that lets you interact with Claude directly from the terminal to perform software engineering tasks — editing files, running commands, searching codebases, managing git workflows, and more.

This repository contains the leaked src/ directory.

• Leaked on: 2026-03-31
• Language: TypeScript
• Runtime: Bun
• Terminal UI: React + Ink (React for CLI)
• Scale: ~1,900 files, 512,000+ lines of code

Core Architecture

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 + React/Ink renderer initialization. At startup, parallelizes MDM settings, keychain prefetch, and GrowthBook initialization for faster boot.
