Free Code Claude Cli

This is a buildable fork of Anthropic's official Claude Code CLI that strips telemetry, removes guardrail prompts, and unlocks 54 experimental flags disabled in the npm release. The one-liner installer pulls the repo, builds with Bun, and drops free-code on your PATH. You can swap between Anthropic, OpenAI Codex, Bedrock, Vertex AI, or Foundry with environment variables. The experimental flags are the main reason you'd use this: ultrathink for deeper reasoning, ultraplan for multi-agent orchestration, voice mode, token budget tracking, and a verification agent that checks if tasks actually completed. If you want the raw CLI without phone-home behavior or artificial feature gates, this is it.

free-code Claude CLI

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

free-code is a buildable fork of Anthropic's Claude Code CLI — a terminal-native AI coding agent. It removes all telemetry and phone-home callbacks, strips Anthropic's injected system-prompt guardrails, and unlocks 54 experimental feature flags that are disabled in the public npm release. It supports five model providers: Anthropic, OpenAI Codex, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Anthropic Foundry.

Installation

One-liner (recommended)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paoloanzn/free-code/main/install.sh | bash

This installs Bun if needed, clones the repo, builds with experimental features, and symlinks free-code on your PATH.

Manual build

# Requires Bun >= 1.3.11
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

git clone https://github.com/paoloanzn/free-code.git
cd free-code
bun run build
./cli
