Claude code Is Finally Open Source...
Clot Code Source Code Leak: What Happened?
Overview of the Clot Code Release
- The video introduces the release of the Clot Code source code, now available as open source.
- A user named Cuffan discovered and shared the entire source code on GitHub after finding it in the npm registry.
Details of the Leak
- The leak occurred due to a map file included in version 2.1.88, which was published accidentally; this file is typically used for debugging but should not be released in production.
- The oversight happened because the map file was not included in the npm ignore file, leading to its publication alongside other files.
Consequences of the Leak
- Following the leak, version 2.1.87 was published two days prior, and subsequent versions were removed once they realized their source code had been exposed.
- Backups of the leaked source code have been made available on GitHub, allowing others to access it easily.
Insights from Released Documentation
- A user created documentation explaining how Clot's codebase works, detailing its pipeline and memory handling.
- This documentation includes explanations about authentication processes and hooks within Clot's architecture.
Implications for Developers
- With access to this leaked source code, developers can study its architecture including query engines and permission models.
- The leak provides an opportunity for research and education but prohibits commercial use or redistribution as Anthropic owns their intellectual property.
Accessing Leaked Files
- Users can find approximately 1.9K files with over 500k lines of code (LOC), making it a significant resource for learning about production patterns.
- The video concludes by encouraging viewers to explore these files for educational purposes while emphasizing that such leaks are often accidental.
