Finding 1 [CRITICAL] — sessionRunner leaks full process.env to child
Extract buildChildEnv() with an explicit allowlist of safe OS/runtime vars.
Child process no longer inherits ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, DB
credentials, or any other secret present in the parent shell environment.
Only CLAUDE_CODE_* bridge vars, PATH, HOME, and standard OS env are passed.
Finding 2 [HIGH] — USER_TYPE=ant activatable by external users
Add isAntEmployee() -> false constant in src/utils/buildConfig.ts.
Replace all three direct process.env.USER_TYPE === 'ant' checks in
setup.ts and onChangeAppState.ts so no external user can activate
Anthropic-internal code paths (commit attribution, system prompt clearing,
dangerously-skip-permissions bypass) by setting USER_TYPE in their shell.
Finding 3 [HIGH] — memoryScan.ts unlimited directory walk
Add MAX_DEPTH=3 guard on readdir({ recursive: true }) results.
Deep or symlink-looped memory directories no longer cause an unbounded
blocking walk before the MAX_MEMORY_FILES cap takes effect.
Finding 5 [HIGH] — buildSdkUrl uses string.includes for protocol detection
Replace apiBaseUrl.includes('localhost') with new URL(apiBaseUrl).hostname
comparison so a remote URL containing 'localhost' in its path no longer
incorrectly gets ws:// (unencrypted) instead of wss://.
Finding 6 [HIGH] — upstream proxy writes unvalidated CA cert to disk
Add isValidPemContent() validation before writeFile in the CA cert download
path. A compromised proxy sending non-PEM data (HTML, JSON, scripts) is now
rejected before it can be appended to the system CA bundle.
Each fix is covered by new unit tests (25 tests across 5 new test files).
All 52 tests pass. Build verified clean on v0.1.7.
Fixes #42

OpenClaude
Use Claude Code with any LLM — not just Claude.
OpenClaude is a fork of the Claude Code source leak (exposed via npm source maps on March 31, 2026). We added an OpenAI-compatible provider shim so you can plug in GPT-4o, DeepSeek, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, or any model that speaks the OpenAI chat completions API. It now also supports the ChatGPT Codex backend for codexplan and codexspark, and local inference via Atomic Chat on Apple Silicon.
All of Claude Code's tools work — bash, file read/write/edit, grep, glob, agents, tasks, MCP — just powered by whatever model you choose.
Start Here
If you are new to terminals or just want the easiest path, start with the beginner guides:
If you want source builds, Bun workflows, profile launchers, or full provider examples, use:
Beginner Install
For most users, install the npm package:
npm install -g @gitlawb/openclaude
The package name is @gitlawb/openclaude, but the command you run is:
openclaude
If you install via npm and later see ripgrep not found, install ripgrep system-wide and confirm rg --version works in the same terminal before starting OpenClaude.
Fastest Setup
Windows PowerShell
npm install -g @gitlawb/openclaude
$env:CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI="1"
$env:OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-key-here"
$env:OPENAI_MODEL="gpt-4o"
openclaude
macOS / Linux
npm install -g @gitlawb/openclaude
export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
export OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4o
openclaude
That is enough to start with OpenAI.
Choose Your Guide
Beginner
- Want the easiest setup with copy-paste steps: Non-Technical Setup
- On Windows: Windows Quick Start
- On macOS or Linux: macOS / Linux Quick Start
Advanced
- Want source builds, Bun, local profiles, runtime checks, or more provider choices: Advanced Setup
Common Beginner Choices
OpenAI
Best default if you already have an OpenAI API key.
Ollama
Best if you want to run models locally on your own machine.
Codex
Best if you already use the Codex CLI or ChatGPT Codex backend.
Atomic Chat
Best if you want local inference on Apple Silicon with Atomic Chat. See Advanced Setup.
What Works
- All tools: Bash, FileRead, FileWrite, FileEdit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Agent, MCP, LSP, NotebookEdit, Tasks
- Streaming: Real-time token streaming
- Tool calling: Multi-step tool chains (the model calls tools, gets results, continues)
- Images: Base64 and URL images passed to vision models
- Slash commands: /commit, /review, /compact, /diff, /doctor, etc.
- Sub-agents: AgentTool spawns sub-agents using the same provider
- Memory: Persistent memory system
What's Different
- No thinking mode: Anthropic's extended thinking is disabled (OpenAI models use different reasoning)
- No prompt caching: Anthropic-specific cache headers are skipped
- No beta features: Anthropic-specific beta headers are ignored
- Token limits: Defaults to 32K max output — some models may cap lower, which is handled gracefully
How It Works
The shim (src/services/api/openaiShim.ts) sits between Claude Code and the LLM API:
Claude Code Tool System
|
v
Anthropic SDK interface (duck-typed)
|
v
openaiShim.ts <-- translates formats
|
v
OpenAI Chat Completions API
|
v
Any compatible model
It translates:
- Anthropic message blocks → OpenAI messages
- Anthropic tool_use/tool_result → OpenAI function calls
- OpenAI SSE streaming → Anthropic stream events
- Anthropic system prompt arrays → OpenAI system messages
The rest of Claude Code doesn't know it's talking to a different model.
Model Quality Notes
Not all models are equal at agentic tool use. Here's a rough guide:
| Model | Tool Calling | Code Quality | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPT-4o | Excellent | Excellent | Fast |
| DeepSeek-V3 | Great | Great | Fast |
| Gemini 2.0 Flash | Great | Good | Very Fast |
| Llama 3.3 70B | Good | Good | Medium |
| Mistral Large | Good | Good | Fast |
| GPT-4o-mini | Good | Good | Very Fast |
| Qwen 2.5 72B | Good | Good | Medium |
| Smaller models (<7B) | Limited | Limited | Very Fast |
For best results, use models with strong function/tool calling support.
