Show HN: Wy – a Rust terminal tool for understanding AI-generated code

An open-source developer released Wy, a Rust terminal tool that surfaces the agent-session context behind AI-generated code changes, aiming to close the gap between what a git diff shows and why an agent made the change. Wy lets engineers browse changes alongside agent notes in a terminal UI, request explanations, ask follow-up questions, open code references and citations, and distinguish recorded justifications the agent derived. The project, posted to Hacker News as a Show HN with 1 point and 0 comments, targets unfamiliar codebases where agents are the primary developer interface.

I have been an opensource terminal tool for understanding AI-generated code. A git-diff shows what changed, but the context behind it lives somewhere within the agent's session context, and often goes missing in long running agent execution. Wy helps reduce that understanding gap, and helps engineers build judgement. This is especially useful for unfamiliar codebases, where agents are the primary interface for the developers. It is meant to be used alongside the With wy, you can: - Browse changes, and relevant agent notes in a terminal UI - Request explanation and ask follow up questions and changes - Open code references and citations - Distinguish recorded justifications agents derived to get a better understanding of the changes. If you try, and find it useful consider supporting it with a github star or bug report or contribution.
