What it does

Whip lets you run an AI‑powered coding assistant locally from a single Go binary, so you can generate, edit, and run code without any external runtime.

When to use it
  • •You need a fast, interactive code‑generation UI for brainstorming prototypes in Go or other languages.
  • •You want to experiment with open‑source LLMs (e.g., Llama 3, Mistral) without sending data to a cloud provider.
  • •You prefer a single executable that can be scripted in CI pipelines for automated code reviews or refactors.
Ready-to-paste prompt
whip exec --model default --prompt "Write a function in Python that takes a list of integers and returns the list sorted without using the built‑in sort()"
Heads up: Whip does not bundle any LLM; you must have a compatible model server (e.g., Ollama, LMStudio, or a local vLLM endpoint) running and reachable, and the model name in `whip.yaml` must match exactly.
