Hmbown/Codewhale

This page introduces an external open-source repository. It is not an HDATF product.

What it does

Codewhale is a Rust coding agent for the terminal that reads a project, edits files, runs commands and checks its work, using a hosted or local model. Larger jobs can be split across agents with different models and roles.

How it helps ATF

Worth comparing with executors such as Claude Code and Codex that Harness hands work to, including its option to run with a local model. Splitting a larger job across agents with different roles could be a reference for Harness.
