alt Hacker NewsObfuscated ts/js code is not machine code to begin with, so not sure what’s the big deal.
Also, not sure why anthropic doesn’t just make their cli open source - it’s not like it’s something special (Claude is, this cli thingy isn’t)

How do you know? Have you checked the source?
Do you know how exactly context is created, memory files, skills? Subagents created with tasks?
I don't, but am checking right now. Then I will judge.

Naming conventions can reveal a lot about how teams internally are thinking about roadmap and product decisions.
That cannot be reversed when obfuscated.

They don't want everyone to see how poorly it's implemented and that the whole thing is a big fragile mess riddled with bugs. That's my experience anyway.
For instance, just recently their little CLI -> browser oauth login flow was generating malformed URLs and URLs pointing to a localhost port instead of their real website.
