Ask HN: Has anyone decompiled Claude Code yet? 4 points by matt3210 3 weeks ago I’d be interested in examining it. How about codex?
armcat 3 weeks ago For Codex there is no need to decompile because unlike Claude Code, Codex is open source [1] and written in Rust.There are lot of other amazing open source agent harnesses like OpenCode [2] and Pi [3].[1] https://github.com/openai/codex[2] https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode[3] https://github.com/earendil-works/pi matt3210 3 weeks ago Yeah but I wanna see Claude code source. Maybe I’ll use codex to decompile Claude code if I can’t find it done already dudewhocodes 3 weeks ago Only the Codex terminal agent is open source, the Codex GUI app is still closed AFAIK.

cinntaile 3 weeks ago You'll get blocked real quick. I once noticed it was thinking in a different language than the one we were communicating in, when I asked about it the conversation was immediately blocked. matt3210 3 weeks ago Have codex run claude code and decompile haute_cuisine 2 weeks ago What a paradox. Somehow anthropic don't like distillation and decompiling and ban all who try instantly.

Retro_Dev 3 weeks ago It's probably easier to look at the source code than try to decompile it: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code armcat 3 weeks ago There is no actual Claude Code source code in there, if you actually look in the repo.
