Video summary: After a publicly leaked copy of Anthropic’s Claude Code, the creator downloads and inspects the repository, uses OpenAI’s Codeex to analyze the agent, then modifies its verbs and persona. They build a local fork named Riley Code, create a desktop Electron-like UI, and iterate on features — embedded browser, project/session handling, tool-call display, and persistent personality prompts — demonstrating hands-on reverse engineering and UX customization.

  • Source inspection: Downloaded the leaked Claude Code package and used Codeex to summarize the agent, CLI entry points, multi-agent features, and runtime modes.
  • Behavioral changes: Replaced action verbs, added a dedicated persona prompt file, and tuned the agent to respond in lowercase with a specific ’19-year-old intern’ tone.
  • Local fork & runtime: Created a runnable fork called Riley Code, executed it locally with an Anthropic API key, and validated tool/skill invocations and session memory.
  • UI/UX prototyping: Built a desktop app shell, adjusted tool-call visuals, added an embedded browser for links/files, workspace/project handling, and persistent chat metadata (soul.md).

Quotes:

Anthropic made a huge mistake — they accidentally leaked Claude Code.

Anthropic, please don’t hurt me.

I changed its personality to speak in all lowercase like a 19-year-old intern.
