openzoo-claude

OpenZoo Claude Code CLI — pay-per-call, no Anthropic API key

A fully functional open source implementation of Anthropic's Claude Code CLI,
built from decompiled source intelligence using ruDevolution.

Automated Nightly Releases — Open Claude Code automatically detects new Claude Code releases, runs 903+ tests to verify zero regressions, and publishes verified builds with AI-powered discovery analysis. See Releases | ADR-001 | pi.ruv.io

⚡ Quick Start

This repo is the product. claude / occ / openzoo-claude are this CLI — not Anthropic's bun binary, not a wrapper around official claude.

# From this repo (Silicon / local)
npm i -g .

# or from npm once published
npm i -g openzoo-claude

# Sidecar must be healthy first
# (npx openzoo in another terminal — public door https://openzoo.fun)

occ -p hi
claude -p hi

Pay lanes (never ANTHROPIC_API_KEY):

1. Stripe subscription key in ~/.openzoo/subscription.json (or OPENZOO_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY) → Authorization: Bearer <key>. Billing: https://zoo.openzoo.fun
2. Else x402 via the local sidecar on :8402. Empty wallet is a pay wall, not a retry.

When :8402/v1/info answers, this CLI applies the zoo env itself:

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8402/v1
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=<subscription key or sk-openzoo>
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY   unset
DISABLE_COMPACT=1
DISABLE_AUTO_COMPACT=1
CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS=1000000

sk-openzoo is a dummy gateway token for the local proxy — not an Anthropic key.

If an official Anthropic claude binary is also installed, keep it as claude-anthropic. A global install of this package is what claude becomes.

# Documented recipe (API key must stay unset)
unset ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8402/v1
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=sk-openzoo   # or your subscription key
occ -p "hi"

🧠 What Is This?

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.

---

📦 Installation

git clone https://github.com/staccDOTsol/open-claude-code.git
cd open-claude-code
npm i -g .
# bins: openzoo-claude, occ, claude

Or npm i -g openzoo-claude after publish. The openzoo package's claude subcommand only installs (if missing) and execs this package.

⚙️ Configuration

Settings

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):

1. .claude/settings.local.json (local, gitignored)
2. .claude/settings.json (project, shared)
3. ~/.claude/settings.json (user global)
4. Managed policy (enterprise)

CLAUDE.md

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.

Custom Agents

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.

Skills

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.

// .mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "my-mcp-server"],
      "env": { "API_KEY": "..." }
    }
  }
}

Supports 4 transports: stdio, SSE, Streamable HTTP, WebSocket.

🔍 Background: The Claude Code Source Leak

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.

What ruDevolution Found

Discovery	Evidence
🤖 Agent Teams	CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS
🌙 Auto Dream Mode	tengu_auto_dream_completed
🔮 claude-opus-4-6	Unreleased model ID
🔐 6 "amber" codenames	Internal feature gates
☁️ Cloud Code Runner	BYOC compute
📡 MCP Streamable HTTP	New transport

Download decompiled releases →

⚖️ Legal

This is a clean-room implementation — no leaked source used. Architecture informed by analysis of the published npm package, legal under US DMCA §1201(f), EU Software Directive Art. 6, UK CDPA §50B.

Nightly Release Pipeline

Automated Nightly Verified Releases (ADR-001)

Open Claude Code includes an automated nightly CI/CD pipeline that:

1. Detects new Claude Code releases from npm registry (03:00 UTC daily)
2. Verifies compatibility with 903+ tests, npm audit, and smoke tests
3. Analyzes changes using Claude Sonnet 4.6 AI-powered discovery
4. Publishes verified releases with detailed notes — only if ALL gates pass

Cron 03:00 UTC → npm check → 903+ tests → npm audit → AI analysis → verified release

Manual trigger:

gh workflow run nightly.yml -f force_release=true

Required secrets:

• GITHUB_TOKEN — automatic
• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — optional, for AI discovery analysis

See ADR-001 for full architecture.

rudevolution Integration

The rudevolution submodule provides AI-powered decompilation analysis of Claude Code releases, tracking 34,759+ functions with 95.7% name accuracy. Used by the nightly pipeline for change discovery.
