Thanks for your interest in contributing to this repository!

What This Is

This repo archives a source snapshot of Anthropic's Claude Code CLI together with documentation and exploration tooling. Contributions here are about documentation, tooling, and exploration aids rather than editing the archived snapshot itself.

What You Can Contribute

Documentation — Improve or expand the docs/ directory
MCP Server — Enhance the exploration MCP server in mcp-server/
Analysis — Write-ups, architecture diagrams, or annotated walkthroughs
Tooling — Scripts or tools that aid in studying the source code
Bug fixes — Fix issues in the MCP server or supporting infrastructure

What Not to Change

src/ directory — This is the archived source snapshot and should generally remain unchanged.
The backup branch contains the raw imported snapshot.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ (for the MCP server)
Git

Setup

git clone https://github.com/777genius/claude-code-source-code.git
cd claude-code-source-code

MCP Server Development

cd mcp-server
npm install
npm run dev    # Run with tsx (no build step)
npm run build  # Compile to dist/

Linting & Type Checking

# From the repo root — checks the archived snapshot
npm run lint        # Biome lint
npm run typecheck   # TypeScript type check

Code Style

For any new code (MCP server, tooling, scripts):

TypeScript with strict mode
ES modules
2-space indentation (tabs for src/ to match Biome config)
Descriptive variable names, minimal comments
