Open Claude Code is a ground-up open source rebuild of Anthropic's Claude Code CLI, informed by ruDevolution's AI-powered decompilation of the published npm package.
It's not a copy — it's a clean-room implementation that mirrors the actual Claude Code architecture: async generator agent loop, 25 tools, 4 MCP transports, 6 permission modes, hooks, settings chain, sessions, and more.
1,581 tests. 61 files. 8,314 lines. 100% functional.

Create .claude/settings.json in your project or ~/.claude/settings.json globally:
{
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
"permissions": {
"defaultMode": "auto"
},
"hooks": {
"PreToolUse": [{
"matcher": "Bash",
"hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "echo 'Running bash...'" }]
}]
},
"autoCompactEnabled": true,
"alwaysThinkingEnabled": true
}
Settings are loaded from 4 sources (in priority order):
.claude/settings.local.json (local, gitignored).claude/settings.json (project, shared)~/.claude/settings.json (user global)Create a CLAUDE.md in your project root to customize behavior:
# Project Rules
- Always use TypeScript
- Follow TDD
- Keep files under 500 lines
CLAUDE.md files are loaded from: ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md → parent directories → project root → .claude/CLAUDE.md.
Create .claude/agents/reviewer.md:
---
name: reviewer
description: Code review specialist
model: claude-sonnet-4-6
tools: [Read, Glob, Grep]
---
You are a thorough code reviewer. Check for bugs, security issues, and style.
Create .claude/skills/deploy/SKILL.md:
---
name: deploy
description: Deploy to production
---
1. Run tests: npm test
2. Build: npm run build
3. Deploy: ./scripts/deploy.sh
Invoke with /deploy in the REPL.
Works with 5 AI providers:
# Anthropic (default)
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... occ "hello"
# OpenAI
OPENAI_API_KEY=... occ -m gpt-4o "hello"
# Google
GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY=... occ -m gemini-2.5-flash "hello"

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... occ -m bedrock/claude-sonnet "hello"
# Google Vertex
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=... occ -m vertex/claude-sonnet "hello"
Connect to MCP servers for additional tools:
// .mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "my-mcp-server"],
"env": { "API_KEY": "..." }
}
}
}
Supports 4 transports: stdio, SSE, Streamable HTTP, WebSocket.
On March 31, 2026, Anthropic accidentally shipped source maps in the Claude Code npm package, exposing the full TypeScript source. This project takes a different approach — we use ruDevolution to analyze the published npm package legally and rebuild from that intelligence.
