What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A community fork of Anthropic's Claude Code terminal AI coding agent, rebuilt from an exposed source snapshot with telemetry removed, security-prompt guardrails stripped, and experimental feature flags enabled. It ships as a single buildable TypeScript project installed via a one-line script and works with the user's preferred model provider.

Use cases

• use an AI coding agent in the terminal without telemetry
• run Claude Code with experimental features unlocked
• self-build a de-telemetried Claude Code CLI
• code with an AI agent that doesn't phone home
• try experimental Claude Code feature flags early
• use Claude Code with a custom model provider

When to choose

• you want a terminal-native AI coding agent with no telemetry or analytics
• you want to enable experimental Claude Code features that are gated upstream
• you prefer building from source and auditing what the agent sends over the network

When to avoid

• you need official support, updates, or a license - the project has none
• you rely on upstream security guardrails and managed-settings enforcement
• your organization requires sanctioned, vendor-supported tooling
• you are uncomfortable using code derived from an unofficially exposed source snapshot
