What CodeWhale is
Give Codewhale a task and it reads the repository, edits files, and runs commands until the task is done or it needs input from you. It works with more than 40 built-in providers, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash by default, and with models running on your own machine. /receipts lists the files it changed, the commands it ran, and the web and MCP calls it made.

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?
