Claude Code 2.1.88 Source Recovery
Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.
What This Project Is
This repository contains the recovered TypeScript source code of
@anthropic-ai/claude-code version 2.1.88. On 2026-03-31, Anthropic accidentally published a cli.js.map (57MB) source map to npm that contained the full sourcesContent of the bundled CLI. After extraction and reconstruction, the result is ~700,000 lines of TypeScript source code organized into a readable directory structure.
The project is useful for:
- Studying production CLI architecture patterns (Ink/React in terminal)
- Understanding how MCP (Model Context Protocol) is implemented in a real CLI
- Learning how Claude Code manages sessions, commands, authentication, and tool execution

Installing the Original 2.1.88 Package (Tencent Mirror Cache)
The official npm version was pulled. Use the Tencent mirror cache while available:
npm install -g https://mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/npm/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/-/claude-code-2.1.88.tgz
Extracting Source from the Source Map
If you have the original
cli.js.map, you can recover sources programmatically:
import fs from "fs"; import path from "path"; import zlib from "zlib"; interface SourceMap { version: number; sources: string[]; sourcesContent: (string | null)[]; mappings: string; } async function extractSourceMap(mapPath: string, outDir: string) { const raw = fs.readFileSync(mapPath, "utf-8"); const sourceMap: SourceMap = JSON.parse(raw); for (let i = 0; i < sourceMap.sources.length; i++) { const sourcePath = sourceMap.sources[i]; const content = sourceMap.sourcesContent[i]; if (!content) continue; // Normalize path: strip webpack/bundle prefixes const normalized = sourcePath .replace(/^webpack:\/\/\//, "") .replace(/^\.\//, ""); const outPath = path.join(outDir, normalized); fs.mkdirSync(path.dirname(outPath), { recursive: true }); fs.writeFileSync(outPath, content, "utf-8"); } console.log(`Extracted ${sourceMap.sources.length} source files to ${outDir}`); } extractSourceMap("cli.js.map", "./recovered-src");
Key Architectural Patterns
1. CLI Entrypoint Bootstrap
// src/entrypoints/cli.ts (representative pattern) import { render } from "ink"; import React from "react"; import { App } from "../components/App"; import { parseArgs } from "../utils/args"; async function main() { const args = parseArgs(process.argv.slice(2)); if (args.command) { // Dispatch to named command handler const handler = await loadCommand(args.command); await handler.run(args); } else { // Default: launch interactive REPL via Ink render(React.createElement(App, { initialArgs: args })); } } main().catch((err) => { console.error(err); process.exit(1); });
2. Command Loading System
Commands support built-in, dynamic skills, plugins, and MCP sources:
// src/commands/loader.ts (representative pattern) type CommandSource = "builtin" | "skill" | "plugin" | "mcp"; interface Command { name: string; source: CommandSource; description: string; run(args: ParsedArgs): Promise<void>; } async function loadCommand(name: string): Promise<Command> { // 1. Check built-in commands first const builtin = builtinCommands.get(name); if (builtin) return builtin; // 2. Check MCP-registered commands const mcpCmd = await mcpRegistry.resolve(name); if (mcpCmd) return mcpCmd; // 3. Dynamic skill loading const skill = await loadSkillCommand(name); if (skill) return skill; throw new Error(`Unknown command: ${name}`); }
3. Ink/React Terminal UI Component Pattern
// src/components/ChatView.tsx (representative pattern) import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react"; import { Box, Text, useInput } from "ink"; import { useConversation } from "../hooks/useConversation"; interface ChatViewProps { sessionId: string; } export function ChatView({ sessionId }: ChatViewProps) { const { messages, sendMessage, isStreaming } = useConversation(sessionId); const [input, setInput] = useState(""); useInput((char, key) => { if (key.return) { sendMessage(input); setInput(""); } else if (key.backspace) { setInput((prev) => prev.slice(0, -1)); } else { setInput((prev) => prev + char); } }); return ( <Box flexDirection="column" height="100%"> <Box flexDirection="column" flexGrow={1} overflowY="hidden"> {messages.map((msg, i) => ( <Box key={i} marginBottom={1}> <Text color={msg.role === "assistant" ? "cyan" : "white"}> {msg.role === "assistant" ? "Claude: " : "You: "} </Text> <Text>{msg.content}</Text> </Box> ))} {isStreaming && <Text color="gray">▋</Text>} </Box> <Box borderStyle="single" paddingX={1}> <Text>{">"} </Text> <Text>{input}</Text> </Box> </Box> ); }
4. MCP (Model Context Protocol) Integration
// src/services/mcpClient.ts (representative pattern) import { McpClient, Transport } from "@anthropic-ai/mcp"; interface McpServerConfig { name: string; command: string; args: string[]; env?: Record<string, string>; } class McpRegistry { private clients = new Map<string, McpClient>(); async connect(config: McpServerConfig): Promise<void> { const transport = new StdioTransport({ command: config.command, args: config.args, env: { ...process.env, ...config.env }, }); const client = new McpClient({ name: "claude-code", version: "2.1.88" }); await client.connect(transport); // Discover tools exposed by this MCP server const { tools } = await client.listTools(); for (const tool of tools) { this.registerTool(config.name, tool); } this.clients.set(config.name, client); } async callTool(serverName: string, toolName: string, args: unknown) { const client = this.clients.get(serverName); if (!client) throw new Error(`MCP server not connected: ${serverName}`); return client.callTool({ name: toolName, arguments: args as Record<string, unknown> }); } async resolve(commandName: string): Promise<Command | null> { // Map MCP tool names to CLI commands for (const [server, tools] of this.toolRegistry) { const tool = tools.find((t) => t.name === commandName); if (tool) { return { name: commandName, source: "mcp", description: tool.description ?? "", run: async (args) => { const result = await this.callTool(server, commandName, args); console.log(result.content); }, }; } } return null; } private toolRegistry = new Map<string, Array<{ name: string; description?: string }>>(); private registerTool(server: string, tool: { name: string; description?: string }) { const existing = this.toolRegistry.get(server) ?? []; this.toolRegistry.set(server, [...existing, tool]); } } export const mcpRegistry = new McpRegistry();
5. Authentication Utilities
// src/utils/auth.ts (representative pattern) import fs from "fs"; import path from "path"; import os from "os"; const CONFIG_DIR = path.join(os.homedir(), ".claude"); const CREDENTIALS_FILE = path.join(CONFIG_DIR, "credentials.json"); interface Credentials { apiKey?: string; sessionToken?: string; expiresAt?: string; } export function loadCredentials(): Credentials { if (!fs.existsSync(CREDENTIALS_FILE)) return {}; return JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(CREDENTIALS_FILE, "utf-8")); } export function saveCredentials(creds: Credentials): void { fs.mkdirSync(CONFIG_DIR, { recursive: true }); fs.writeFileSync(CREDENTIALS_FILE, JSON.stringify(creds, null, 2), { mode: 0o600, // owner read/write only }); } export function getApiKey(): string { // Priority: env var > credentials file if (process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) { return process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY; } const creds = loadCredentials(); if (creds.apiKey) return creds.apiKey; throw new Error("No API key found. Run `claude login` or set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY."); }
6. Feature Flags Pattern
// src/utils/featureFlags.ts (representative pattern) // Feature flags are resolved at build time via bun:bundle macros // and at runtime via environment variables type FeatureFlag = | "ENABLE_MCP_STREAMING" | "ENABLE_TASKS_COMMAND" | "ENABLE_REVIEW_COMMAND" | "ENABLE_REMOTE_CAPABILITIES"; const RUNTIME_FLAGS: Record<FeatureFlag, boolean> = { ENABLE_MCP_STREAMING: process.env.CLAUDE_FF_MCP_STREAMING === "1", ENABLE_TASKS_COMMAND: process.env.CLAUDE_FF_TASKS === "1", ENABLE_REVIEW_COMMAND: process.env.CLAUDE_FF_REVIEW === "1", ENABLE_REMOTE_CAPABILITIES: process.env.CLAUDE_FF_REMOTE === "1", }; export function isEnabled(flag: FeatureFlag): boolean { return RUNTIME_FLAGS[flag] ?? false; } // Usage in command loader: // if (isEnabled("ENABLE_TASKS_COMMAND")) { // registerCommand(tasksCommand); // }

Hooks: Terminal State Management
// src/hooks/useConversation.ts (representative pattern) import { useState, useCallback, useRef } from "react"; import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk"; export function useConversation(sessionId: string) { const [messages, setMessages] = useState<Message[]>([]); const [isStreaming, setIsStreaming] = useState(false); const clientRef = useRef(new Anthropic({ apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY })); const sendMessage = useCallback(async (content: string) => { const userMessage: Message = { role: "user", content }; setMessages((prev) => [...prev, userMessage]); setIsStreaming(true); let assistantContent = ""; try { const stream = await clientRef.current.messages.stream({ model: "claude-opus-4-5", max_tokens: 8096, messages: [...messages, userMessage].map((m) => ({ role: m.role, content: m.content, })), }); for await (const chunk of stream) { if ( chunk.type === "content_block_delta" && chunk.delta.type === "text_delta" ) { assistantContent += chunk.delta.text; setMessages((prev) => { const next = [...prev]; const last = next[next.length - 1]; if (last?.role === "assistant") { next[next.length - 1] = { ...last, content: assistantContent }; } else { next.push({ role: "assistant", content: assistantContent }); } return next; }); } } } finally { setIsStreaming(false); } }, [messages]); return { messages, sendMessage, isStreaming }; }

Attempting to Run the Recovered Source
# 1. Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/ponponon/claude_code_src cd claude_code_src # 2. Add a package.json (not included — must be reconstructed) cat > package.json << 'EOF' { "name": "claude-code-recovered", "version": "2.1.88", "type": "module", "dependencies": { "@anthropic-ai/sdk": "^0.51.0", "ink": "^5.0.0", "react": "^18.0.0", "commander": "^12.0.0" }, "devDependencies": { "typescript": "^5.0.0", "@types/react": "^18.0.0", "@types/node": "^22.0.0" } } EOF # 3. Install deps npm install # 4. Set your API key export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key_here # 5. Compile (bun:bundle macros will need stubs) npx tsc --noEmit # type-check only
Note: The source uses
macros for feature flag tree-shaking. You'll need to stub these or use Bun to build.bun:bundle
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
import errors | Replace with runtime flag checks or use Bun as the build tool |
Missing | Reconstruct from references in source imports |
too large to parse in-memory | Stream-parse with npm package |
| Tencent mirror link broken | Check archive.org or other npm mirror caches |
| TypeScript path aliases unresolved | Add to matching the original bundle's alias structure |
