Deep dive into Claude Code internals — architecture, agent loop, context engineering, and more. / 深入解析 Claude Code 源码：架构、Agent 循环、上下文工程、工具系统等
This repository is a 15-chapter technical documentation project that reverse-engineers the internals of Claude Code, Anthropic's command-line coding agent, by analyzing its approximately 500,000-line TypeScript source. The documents cover the agent loop architecture, a four-stage progressive context compression pipeline, a 66-tool execution system with concurrent read and serialized write coordination, a five-layer security model that uses tree-sitter AST analysis to evaluate shell commands across 23 safety checks, multi-agent coordination via subagents and Git Worktree isolation, and a nine-stage parallel startup sequence that targets a 235-millisecond cold start. A companion project, Claude Code From Scratch, offers step-by-step TypeScript and Python implementations in roughly 4,000 lines each. The material connects directly to Claude Code and the Claude API rather than wrapping or extending them. Developers building their own AI coding agents, engineers studying production-grade agent loop design, and teams evaluating Claude Code for internal tooling are the primary intended audience.
