Origin: How Claw Code Began On March 31, 2026, security researcher Chaofan Shou (@shoucccc) discovered that Anthropic's flagship AI coding CLI tool, Claude Code, had its complete source code accidentally published to the npm public registry via a 59.8 MB JavaScript source map file (.map) bundled inside the @anthropic-ai/claude-code v2.1.88 package. The file contained approximately 512,000 lines of TypeScript across 1,906 source files, revealing the full internal architecture of the agent harness. Within hours of the disclosure, developer Sigrid Jin (@sigridjineth) — previously profiled by the Wall Street Journal as one of the world's most active Claude Code power users, having consumed over 25 billion Claude Code tokens in the past year — began a clean-room rewrite of the core agent harness architecture. The project, built entirely from scratch using Python, was orchestrated through oh-my-codex (OmX) with parallel code review and continuous verification. No proprietary source code was copied. The result is Claw Code. The Claw Code repository became one of the fastest projects in GitHub history to reach 30,000 stars, achieving this milestone within hours of its initial publication. As of the latest available data, the project has accumulated over 48,000 stars and 56,000 forks, with 335 active watchers and over 2,100 open community issues.
