A placeholder repository formerly known as nirholas/claude-code, which was a widely forked mirror of the Claude Code source leak before being taken down via Anthropic's DMCA notice. It now contains only documentation (HISTORY.md) explaining the leak's history, debunking claims about x402 payment code, and warning users not to run copies of the leak due to malware and dependency-squatting risks.

Use cases

  • understand the history of the claude code source leak
  • verify whether a copy of the leak contains x402 payment code
  • learn about trojanized claude code leak repositories
  • research the dmca takedown of claude code mirrors
  • assess supply chain risks before auditing leaked code

When to choose

  • you need the documented history and forensic accounting of the claude code leak
  • you are verifying claims about x402 payment code in leak copies
  • you want documented warnings about malicious leak repositories

When to avoid

  • you want a working Claude Code CLI - use Anthropic's official release
  • you expect actual source code - all code was removed after the DMCA
  • you want an actively maintained project - this is a static notice
