ruDevolution

AI-Powered JavaScript Decompiler

The first decompiler that understands code semantically, recovers original names with AI,
proves every transformation with cryptographic witness chains, and gets smarter with every run.

🧠 MinCut Module Detection • 🔮 AI Name Recovery • 🔗 Cryptographic Witness Chains • 📊 Confidence Scoring • 🧬 Self-Learning

🧠 What is ruDevolution?

ruDevolution is a next-generation JavaScript decompiler built in pure Rust. It takes minified, obfuscated, or bundled JavaScript — the kind produced by esbuild, webpack, Terser, or any bundler — and reconstructs readable source code with original module boundaries, meaningful variable names, and full cryptographic provenance.

Unlike traditional decompilers that only reformat whitespace, ruDevolution uses graph algorithms (MinCut partitioning) to detect where modules originally split apart, AI inference (neural + 210 pattern rules) to predict what variables were originally called, and Merkle witness chains to mathematically prove that every line of output faithfully derives from the input. It learns from corrections, improves across runs, and can be trained on GPU for domain-specific accuracy.

Put simply: paste in unreadable code, get back organized, named, verified source — with a confidence score on every recovered name and a cryptographic proof that nothing was fabricated.

📦 Install

# npm (CLI + MCP tools)
npm install -g ruvector

# Rust (full pipeline with graph partitioning)
cargo install ruvector-decompiler

# Or just use npx (no install needed)
npx ruvector decompile <package>

⚡ Quick Start

npx ruvector decompile @anthropic-ai/claude-code

That's it. One command → 878 modules, 100% valid JavaScript, cryptographic witness chain.

Claude Code Example Output

Phase 1 (Parse):     3.2s  — 27,477 declarations found
Phase 2 (Graph):     0.4s  — 353,323 reference edges
Phase 3 (Partition): 0.9s  — 1,029 modules (Louvain community detection)
Phase 4 (Infer):    13.4s  — 25,465 names recovered (95.7% accuracy)
Phase 8 (Validate):  878/878 parse (100%) — auto-fixed

Output: source/ (878 .js files) + witness.json + metrics.json

📥 Pre-Built Releases

Every major Claude Code version, decompiled and downloadable:

🏃 It Runs. It's Modifiable.

The decompiled output isn't just readable — it's a fully functional drop-in replacement:

# Download the decompiled Claude Code
curl -LO https://github.com/ruvnet/rudevolution/releases/download/v0.1.0-claude-code-v2.0.62/claude-code-v2.0.62-decompiled.js

# Run it — identical behavior to the original
node claude-code-v2.0.62-decompiled.js --version
# → 2.0.62 (Claude Code)

# Modify it — add logging, change behavior, build extensions
cp claude-code-v2.0.62-decompiled.js my-custom-claude.js
# Edit my-custom-claude.js (2,222 /* Module: XXX */ comments guide you)
node my-custom-claude.js --version
# → Still works!

Every transform is verified at build time — if a change would break execution, it's automatically reverted. The witness chain proves nothing was added or removed from the original.

⚖️ Legal Basis

Reverse engineering published software for interoperability is legal in most jurisdictions:

Key principles:

• 📦 Published npm packages run on your machine — you have a legitimate copy
• 🔍 Analysis for understanding — learning how software works is fair use
• 🔗 Interoperability — building extensions, MCP servers, and integrations requires understanding the interface
• 🔐 No circumvention — we analyze the published JavaScript, not bypassing DRM or encryption
• 📜 No redistribution of original code — the decompiler outputs your analysis, not a copy of the original

What ruDevolution does NOT do:

• ❌ Does not bypass authentication or DRM
• ❌ Does not access unpublished source code
• ❌ Does not redistribute original code
• ❌ Does not violate terms of service (analyzing code you've installed is not prohibited)

The witness chain provides cryptographic proof that every byte of output derives from the input — nothing fabricated, nothing added from external sources.

✨ Features

🚀 Quick Start

As a Rust library

use ruvector_decompiler::{decompile, DecompileConfig};

let minified = std::fs::read_to_string("bundle.min.js").unwrap();
let config = DecompileConfig::default();
let result = decompile(&minified, &config).unwrap();

println!("📦 {} modules detected", result.modules.len());
println!("🔮 {} names inferred", result.inferred_names.len());
println!("🔗 Witness root: {}", result.witness_chain.chain_root_hex);

for module in &result.modules {
    println!("  📁 {} ({} declarations)", module.name, module.declarations.len());
}

Via npm (easiest)

# Decompile any npm package
npx ruvector decompile express
npx ruvector decompile @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.90 --format json
npx ruvector decompile lodash --output ./decompiled/

# Decompile a local file
npx ruvector decompile ./bundle.min.js

# Decompile from URL
npx ruvector decompile https://unpkg.com/react

As a Claude Code MCP tool

claude mcp add ruvector -- npx ruvector mcp
# Then ask: "decompile the express package and explain the router"

6 MCP tools: decompile_package, decompile_file, decompile_url, decompile_search, decompile_diff, decompile_witness

From the command line (Rust)

# Full pipeline with MinCut + neural inference + witness chains
cargo run --release -p ruvector-decompiler --example run_on_cli -- bundle.min.js

# Decompile Claude Code CLI (11MB)
cargo run --release -p ruvector-decompiler --example run_on_cli -- \
  $(npm root -g)/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js

With the dashboard UI

cd examples/decompiler-dashboard
npm install && npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:5173 — browse versions, decompile packages, view RVF containers

📐 Confidence Levels

Every inferred name gets a confidence score:

npm pack express --pack-destination /tmp/
tar xzf /tmp/express-*.tgz -C /tmp/

use ruvector_decompiler::{decompile, DecompileConfig};

let source = std::fs::read_to_string("/tmp/package/index.js")?;
let result = decompile(&source, &DecompileConfig::default())?;

// How many modules were detected?
println!("Modules: {}", result.modules.len());

// What names were recovered?

    println!("{} → {} ({}%)", name.original, name.inferred, 
             (name.confidence * 100.0) as u32);
}

// Verify the witness chain
assert!(result.witness_chain.is_valid);

# Build RVF corpus for all versions
./scripts/claude-code-rvf-corpus.sh

// Decompile two versions
let v1 = decompile(&v1_source, &config)?;
let v2 = decompile(&v2_source, &config)?;

// Functions with same structure but different minified names
