Why we included this project

CodeWhale grew out of a DeepSeek-native tool into a community-driven harness that works with whatever model you point at it, hosted or local, with none privileged over the rest. Give it a provider and a task and it reads your code, edits files, runs commands, and checks its own work, stopping when the job is done or it needs you. You can switch models mid-task with /model, work interactively in the TUI, or run codewhale exec headless in scripts and CI. It's written in Rust and runs on your machine, which makes it a practical pick for teams that want a model-agnostic coding agent without the vendor lock-in.
