Yes, Claude Code can decompile itself. Here's the source code.
是的，Claude Code 可以反编译自身。以下是源代码。

These LLMs are shockingly good at deobfuscation, transpilation and structure to structure conversions. I discovered this back around Christmas where I asked an LLM to make me an Haskell audio library by transpiling a rust implementation.
这些LLMs在去混淆、转译和结构到结构转换方面表现出色。我是在圣诞节前后发现这一点的，当时我让一个LLM通过转译一个 Rust 实现来为我制作一个 Haskell 音频库。

An “oh fuck” moment in time
一个“哦，糟糕”的时刻
Over the Christmas break I’ve been critically looking at my own software development loop, learning a new programming language and re-learning a language I haven’t professionally used in over seven years. It’s now 2025. Software assistants are now a core staple of my day-to-day life as a staff
在圣诞假期期间，我认真审视了自己的软件开发循环，学习了一门新的编程语言，并重新学习了一门我已经七年没有专业使用的语言。现在是 2025 年。软件助手现在是我日常生活中的核心组成部分，作为一名员工

Claude Code
The source code for Claude Code is currently "not available". Whilst a GitHub repository has been published, it contains no source code. Claude Code was an unusual announcement to release along side Sonnet 3.7 - I suspect it was/is a marketing gimmick which was built to demonstrate the capability of the new model and to show the world how to build an AI coding agent (and how easy it is) from the creators of the LLM model (they know it best)
Claude Code 的源代码目前“不可用”。虽然已经发布了一个 GitHub 仓库，但其中不包含源代码。Claude Code 是一个不寻常的发布公告，与 Sonnet 3.7 一同发布——我怀疑它是/曾是一个营销噱头，旨在展示新模型的能力，并向世界展示如何从 LLM 模型的创造者那里构建一个 AI 编码代理（以及它有多简单）（他们对此最了解）。

Claude Code is authored in TypeScript and was released to NPM. You can install it via..
Claude Code 是用 TypeScript 编写的，并已发布到 NPM。您可以通过以下方式安装它..
$ mkdir claude-code && cd claude-code
$ npm i @anthropic-ai/claude-code
After installing the application into a folder you'll be greeted with the following directory structure..
将应用程序安装到文件夹后，您将看到以下目录结构..

cli.mjs
This is the meat of the application itself. It is your typical commonjs application which has been compiled from typescript. As part of the process of compilation with Webpack a minifier step combines all the source code into this file and truncates the symbols.
这是应用程序本身的核心部分。它是一个典型的 commonjs 应用程序，由 typescript 编译而成。作为使用 Webpack 编译过程的一部分，压缩步骤将所有源代码合并到此文件中并截断符号。
so let's pull it apart
所以让我们把它拆开
If you want to this at home. Your first task to is open up cli.mjs within your favourite AI coding assistant or even Claude Code itself. Due to the "safety rails and AI alignment" you'll need to strip the top comments from the application otherwise they will kick in unless you use an LLM such as Grok which has no guard rails.
如果你想在家中进行此操作。你的第一个任务是在你喜欢的 AI 编码助手中打开 cli.mjs ，甚至是 Claude Code 本身。由于“安全护栏和 AI 对齐”，你需要去掉应用程序顶部的注释，否则它们会生效，除非你使用没有护栏的LLM，例如 Grok。
Here's the prompt that I used.
这是我使用的提示。
CLI.js is a commonjs typescript application which has been compiled with webpack.
CLI.js 是一个用 webpack 编译的 commonjs typescript 应用程序。
The symbols have been stripped.
符号已被剥离。
Inspect the source code thoroughly (extra thinking) but skip the SentrySDK source code.
彻底检查源代码（额外思考），但跳过 SentrySDK 源代码。
Create a specification library of features of the application.
创建一个应用程序功能的规范库。
Convert the source code into human readable.
将源代码转换成人类可读。
Keep going until you are done!
继续前进，直到完成！
Because cli.mjs is close to 5mb - which is way bigger than any LLM context window out here. It shouldn't work but it does. You're going to need babysit it for a while and feed it reward tokens of kind words ("your doing good, please continue") and encourage it to keep on going on - even if it gives up. It will time out, lots...
因为 cli.mjs 接近 5mb - 这远远大于任何LLM上下文窗口。它不应该起作用，但确实有效。你需要暂时照看它，并用善意的话语奖励它（“你做得很好，请继续”），鼓励它继续前进——即使它放弃。它会超时，很多次……
After about two minutes it'll spit out a technical specification which details how the application was built and the features of the application...
大约两分钟后，它将输出一份技术规范，详细说明应用程序的构建方式和应用程序的功能...
At this point it'll timeout for sure. This is when you need to do the "new meta" of asking the LLM to write out the technical specification library. I say new meta because - hi folks - welcome, I haven't talked about this yet publicly yet but the results of this technique when used in combination with the "old meta" are truly absurd. I'll be going deep into this in a follow-up blog post so if you wanna be the first to see it - like, subscribe and click on the bell below below.
在这一点上，它肯定会超时。这时你需要做“新元”的事情，要求LLM写出技术规范库。我说新元是因为——大家好——欢迎，我还没有公开谈论过这个，但这种技术与“旧元”结合使用的结果确实荒谬。我将在后续的博客文章中深入探讨这一点，所以如果你想第一个看到它——请点赞、订阅并点击下面的铃铛。

As the CLI.js is circa 5Mb in size. What follows is going to require a-lot of patience but the key is to use the following prompt and keep giving it "yeah bb, you doing great. keep going" words of encouragement.
由于 CLI.js 的大小约为 5Mb。接下来需要大量的耐心，但关键是使用以下提示，并不断给予“yeah bb, you doing great. keep going”这样的鼓励。
Look at the SPECS library.
查看 SPECS 库。
Look at CLAUDE-CODE folder.
查看 CLAUDE-CODE 文件夹。
Look at @CLI.js (do not confuse it with @cli.ts), keep transpiling and implement anything that's not in the SPECS folder that has not been implemented in the CLAUDE-CODE folder.
查看 @CLI.js（不要与 @cli.ts 混淆），继续转译并实现 SPECS 文件夹中未实现且 CLAUDE-CODE 文件夹中未实现的任何内容。
Seriously, you are going to need to enter that at least 100 times over the next 30 minutes.
说真的，在接下来的 30 分钟内，你至少需要输入 100 次。
that doesn't impress me much...

Deobfuscating [nb. how do we even describe this? Is it deobfuscation?] JavaScript isn't that interesting or impressive though however the resulting source code is highly readable and covers all-the key elements in an coding assistant. We won't know how accurate it is until Anthropic goes through the motions to release the upstream source-code.
反混淆[注：我们该如何描述这个？是反混淆吗？] JavaScript 并不是那么有趣或令人印象深刻，不过生成的源代码非常易读，并涵盖了编码助手中的所有关键元素。我们不会知道它的准确性，直到 Anthropic 完成发布上游源代码的过程。
Understand dear reader that this technique can be done on any programming language and even from pre-existing binaries themselves. I've transpiled from ASM to specs and achieved below:

Now, a sharp mind should have picked up by now the implications of above but I'll spell it out. Using the above technique you can clean-room any software in existence in hours or less.
现在，敏锐的头脑应该已经意识到上述内容的含义，但我会详细说明。使用上述技术，您可以在数小时内或更短时间内对任何现有软件进行清洁室设计。
All those "source available" founders who raised shit-loads-of-cash in the last boom are now screwed, as anyone can re-implement their "proprietary features" which provide them with revenue within hours using the above technique to launch competing startups at lower-operating costs.
所有那些在上一次繁荣中筹集了大量资金的“源代码可用”创始人现在都陷入困境，因为任何人都可以在几小时内重新实现他们的“专有功能”，这些功能为他们提供收入，并使用上述技术以更低的运营成本推出竞争性初创公司。
All you need is access to their source-code and they have given you the keys to the kingdom on a golden platter by going to market as "commercial open-source" with source-code "protected by restrictive licensing" uploaded directly onto GitHub.
你所需要的只是访问他们的源代码，他们通过以“商业开源”的方式进入市场，将“受限制许可保护”的源代码直接上传到 GitHub 上，实际上是把王国的钥匙放在金盘子上交给了你。
