Welcome
An operating system kernel, written from scratch
Claudimon is an experimental operating system kernel project built from scratch, exploring how far Claude can be used as a primary tool for systems programming and kernel development.
This project is less about shipping a production kernel and more about answering a question:
How far can AI go when tasked with building something as low level, complex, and
unforgiving as an OS kernel?
Every commit, every file created, except the LICENSE and
README.md, is fully created by Anthropic's AI, Claude, using
Sonnet 4.6 (high). Pronounced /klaud-ih-mon/.
