What Is It?

An open-source, community-driven coding agent harness (a terminal-based Agent runtime).

Initially built with a DeepSeek-native experience in mind, it has evolved into a universal harness where you can bring your own model and get straight to work.

What Problem Does It Solve?

Developers don’t just need better models—they need a stable execution environment to:

  • Read code
  • Edit files
  • Run commands
  • Self-verify results
  • Work seamlessly across interactive TUIs, scripts, and CI pipelines

CodeWhale is that environment. Just supply a provider, a model, and a task, and it handles the rest.

Key Features:

  • BYOM (Bring Your Own Model): Terminal-based coding agent runtime.
  • Full-cycle execution: Reads code, edits files, executes shell commands, and checks outputs.
  • Dynamic model switching: Swap models mid-task using the /model command.
  • Flexible workflow support: Offers an interactive TUI, or run codewhale exec directly inside scripts and CI.
  • Fast & lightweight: Built in Rust, MIT licensed, and runs entirely locally.
  • Community-driven: Prioritizes compatibility with open-source, hosted, and local models.

Who Is This For?

  • Anyone building a custom coding agent runtime.
  • Teams needing to embed an AI agent into their CI/CD or scripting pipelines.
  • Developers who love Rust/TUIs and want complete local control over their environment.
