Hazzel — a small terminal coding agent that works on your code
About the project

Useful for
- Fix a failing test with a diff preview before edits apply
- Explore a codebase read-only in plan mode and get a numbered plan
- Commit changes and open a PR via gh with a suggested message

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
