Open Source Library Recreates Claude, Codex, Grok UIs as shadcn Components
RichardsonDx · x · 2026-08-31
A developer released "brainless", an open-source library that recreates the interfaces of Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Grok as shadcn/ui components.
Key Features & Capabilities:
- UI Replicas: Includes clones for Claude Code (v2.1.206), OpenAI Codex (v0.132.0), and Grok Build Beta (0.2.93).
- Simulated Workflow: Demonstrates full interaction capabilities including copying agent prompts, executing Bash commands (e.g., bunx shadcn add), file operations (read/Write), and running builds (pnpm build).
- Faithful Details: Retains original UI elements such as mode toggling (Plan/Auto), approval flows, chain-of-thought displays, token counts, and keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+Q to quit).
- This project allows developers to integrate similar UI experiences or build custom AI coding assistant interfaces.
