Category: devtools

Tags: coding-agents, git, decision-logging, multi-agent, cli-tool

Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Whyline records the rationale behind code changes in a Git-native decision log and injects that context into coding agent workflows, enabling explain/brief/sync commands. It also adds multi-agent relay orchestration, scheduled read-only agents, and an idea inbox—an ambitious, locally-controlled complement to existing agent CLIs.

Target audience: backend devs, AI-assisted developers, devops
