Codewhale is an open-source coding agent that runs in the terminal and can read repositories, edit files, execute commands, and inspect results while pursuing a task. Developers use it with hosted providers or local models, with controls for how much access it receives.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00268 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00107 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00054 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00027 |
Grade A, and why
feedback scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
name: feedback description: Report a Codewhale bug or idea as a GitHub issue. Use when: codewhale bug, feature request, feedback on codewhale, report an issue, or this should work differently. invocation: model+user
Feedback
When to use
The user hit a Codewhale bug or wants Codewhale to do something new, and wants it reported upstream.
Setup
Requires the gh CLI, authenticated (gh auth status). Fail loud when it
is missing — fall back to printing the issue text for manual filing.
Workflow
- Reproduce or pin the behavior first: version (
codewhale --version), command, expected vs actual, minimal steps. - Draft the issue (title, repro, expected, actual, version) and read it back.
- File only with explicit approval:
gh issue create -R Hmbown/Codewhale --title "..." --body "...". - Report the issue URL back.
Non-goals
- Do not file without showing the user the exact title and body first.
- Do not file duplicates — search open issues for the same report first.
- Do not include secrets, tokens, or private data in the issue body.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

feedback is a skill published in the GitHub repository Hmbown/Codewhale (41,035 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 268 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-19.
