A terminal-based AI coding assistant, written in Rust as a 1:1 reimplementation of Anthropic’s Claude Code.

Unofficial project, not affiliated with Anthropic. This is an independent reimplementation built by reading the published Claude Code CLI. “Claude” and “Claude Code” are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC. Nothing here is endorsed by or supported by Anthropic.

What this is

Claude Code’s terminal UI is TypeScript on React + Ink. CometixCode reproduces it in Rust on iocraft, a React-style retained-mode TUI framework that is the structural counterpart of Ink — components, hooks, declarative elements. The port follows the original file by file rather than reinventing the architecture: a TypeScript component maps to a Rust component, a hook to a hook, and deliberate deviations are recorded in the source where they happen.

It builds against CometixTUI, a fork of iocraft carrying the primitives this port needs (row-level diffing, event propagation, SIGCONT self-healing, IME cursor, bracketed paste, grid layout).

It is a work in progress. Large parts of the interactive loop, tool execution, permissions, MCP and slash commands are implemented; other areas are partial.

Building

Prerequisites

Rust 1.88+ (edition 2024). Nothing else — no system libraries, no pkg-config. Unicode segmentation and collation come from ICU4X, whose data is compiled into the binary.

Build and run

cargo build --release
cargo run --release

The binary is cometix.

Cross-compiling for Windows

rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
cargo build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

A mingw-w64 toolchain has to be on PATH: four dependencies compile C or assembly (onig_sys, ring, tree-sitter, tree-sitter-bash). They link statically, so the resulting .exe needs no DLLs alongside it.

ripgrep

File search shells out to rg. Claude Code ships a packaged ripgrep inside its npm package and executes that path; CometixCode keeps the same shape — the binary is an external asset, never compiled into the executable.

Resolution order:

1. vendor/ripgrep/-/rg next to the executable (release archives)
2. vendor/ripgrep/-/rg in the source tree (development)
3. the host’s rg on PATH

So either drop a pinned ripgrep under vendor/ripgrep/, or just have rg installed. /doctor reports which one is in use. Setting USE_BUILTIN_RIPGREP=0 forces the host binary.

Testing

just test          # full suite through cargo-nextest — the gate
just t    # substring filter
just check         # type/borrow check only, links nothing

cargo test is not a valid gate for this crate. It runs the whole suite as threads in one process, and this codebase has process-wide state (env vars, OnceLock caches) that leaks between tests as a result. just test runs under cargo-nextest, which gives each test its own process, and pins the host state a test would otherwise inherit. The justfile header explains the measurements behind that.
