A research paper and accompanying repository providing a source-level architectural analysis of Claude Code (~512K lines of TypeScript), dissecting its agent loop, permission system, context management, and extensibility mechanisms. It distills the findings into design principles and a design-space guide for building AI agent systems, with cross-system comparisons to OpenClaw and Hermes Agent.
Use cases
- understand how Claude Code's architecture works internally
- learn how to design an AI agent system
- study how much of an agent codebase is AI logic vs infrastructure
- compare agent system designs across Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes Agent
- find design patterns for permission systems and context management in agents
- research agent loop and subagent orchestration design
- get guidance on building my own coding agent
When to choose
- you are building or designing an AI agent system and want architectural guidance
- you want a deep, source-level understanding of how Claude Code works
- you are researching agent design trade-offs like safety, context management, and extensibility
When to avoid
- you want a runnable tool or library rather than analysis and documentation
- you need a beginner tutorial on using Claude Code rather than its internal design
- you need production agent infrastructure code you can reuse directly
