What CodeWhale is
Codewhale is an open-source agent that reads your project, edits files, runs commands, and checks its work using a hosted or local model you choose. Start with one task in your terminal. For a larger job, give parts of the work to agents with different models and roles.

Transcript
Letting an AI touch your codebase usually means giving full access to your repository with no visibility into what changed. CodeWhale is a Rust terminal tool that puts proper guardrails around code changes. It follows a four-step workflow: Inspect your repository, Act with permission controls, Verify with tests, then Report every change. 40,245 stars already. Would you trust this with your codebase?
