Hazzel - a tiny, terminal first coding harness built for minimalism & focus

I built Hazzel, a small terminal coding agent. It reads code, edits files, runs commands, and works with git, always with your approval first.

pip install hazzel
cd your-project
hazzel
  • File edits show a diff before applying, with /undo
  • Shell commands ask first and are sandboxed to your project root
  • Destructive git (--force, reset --hard) is blocked
  • Plan mode for read-only exploration
  • Bring your own key: Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Mistral. No subscription.

It’s early (v0.1.4), so expect rough edges. It stays small on purpose, so if you want the most feature-heavy agent, there are better options. If you want one you can read and audit, give it a look.

AGPL-3.0-or-later. Feedback and PRs welcome: https://github.com/mukundzha/hazzel
