why is my claude not working in my terminal? fix it

Investigating why the claude CLI fails in your terminal — I'll run diagnostics and check how it's installed.

claude is installed but exits with code 137 (killed) — likely sandbox-related. Re-running outside the sandbox to capture the real error.

Exit code 137 (SIGKILL) even outside the sandbox — investigating quarantine, code signing, and whether older versions run.

Invalid code signature is causing macOS to kill the binary. Checking the install method and reinstalling.

Re-signing fixed it. Verifying the claude command and setting up a post-update safeguard.

Fixed. claude should work in your terminal now.

What was wrong

The Claude Code binary at ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.183 had an invalid code signature. macOS was killing it immediately (exit code 137 / zsh: killed) before it could print anything.

That often happens after an auto-update, or when macOS security rejects the signature format on the installed build.

What I did

Re-signed the binary with a local ad-hoc signature:

Verified:

If it breaks again after an update

Claude Code auto-updates can replace the binary and bring the problem back. Run this (swap in the new version number if needed):

bash

codesign --force --sign - --preserve-metadata=entitlements ~/.local/share/claude/versions/$(claude --version 2>/dev/null | cut -d' ' -f1 || ls ~/.local/share/claude/versions/ | grep -E '^[0-9]' | sort -V | tail -1)

Or reinstall cleanly:

Then re-run the codesign command above if macOS still kills it.

Try claude in your terminal — it should start normally now.

Done. Your claude CLI was being killed by macOS because the installed binary had an invalid code signature. I re-signed it locally, and claude --version now returns 2.1.183 (Claude Code) successfully.

You can run claude in your terminal again. If it breaks after a future auto-update, re-run:

(Replace 2.1.183 with whatever version is in ~/.local/share/claude/versions/ if it updates.)

https://madebythomas.ai/ this is what my project was supposed to be find out the gaps its deployed on ipop.ai and make github issyes https://github.com/gagan114662/agent-skills very disappointed i am working on this for days with claude
