Inside the Claude Code source

Anthropic's Claude Code CLI source code leaked onto GitHub recently. All of it. About 1,900 files and a lot of TypeScript.

I read through the key modules. What follows is a breakdown of the surprising parts: how the system actually works, where Anthropic made clever engineering choices, and where their approach diverges from OpenAI's Codex in ways you wouldn't guess from using either tool.

Lifecycle of a request

Here's what happens when you type a message into Claude Code:

Verified Spec-Driven Development (VSDD)

The Fusion: VDD × TDD × SDD for AI-Native Engineering

Overview

Verified Spec-Driven Development (VSDD) is a unified software engineering methodology that fuses three proven paradigms into a single AI-orchestrated pipeline:

Spec-Driven Development (SDD): Define the contract before writing a single line of implementation. Specs are the source of truth.
Test-Driven Development (TDD): Tests are written before code. Red → Green → Refactor. No code exists without a failing test that demanded it.

p2p: network testing framework and protocol abstraction ethereum/go-ethereum#3102

Overview

The purpose of this work is to have a comprehensive and modular network testing suite, which is able to drive test harnesses for p2p network behaviour. This includes simulations as well as cluster tests on an actual network.
