What it is
ClawGod is a runtime patch applied to the official Claude Code. It continues to be supported with each version update.
How it works
Since @anthropic-ai/claude-code v2.1.113, the npm package is a thin loader that dispatches to Bun standalone binaries. ClawGod locates the native Bun binary, extracts the embedded cli.js source and native modules, rewrites virtual paths, applies patches, and runs the patched cli.js under Bun. A .source-version stamp records the patched native version; on each launch, it may auto-repatch if Claude Code was upgraded.
