Description
Painted Wolf Code, a new OSS AI Code editor. It runs a local AI decision engine called Bialy makes your frontier model faster, smarter, and cheaper. Secrets system AI Agents work with secrets without exposing them to your model provider. Uses sandboxing and extensive rules that keep agents from doing destructive actions without asking. Written from the ground up for AI, not just bolted on to VSCode.

Could you build this?
No Creating a full IDE with local agent sandboxing, local decision orchestration, and isolated secrets management requires deep systems programming and security architecture.
What it would actually take: Building an AI code editor typically involves forking VS Code (Code-OSS) or building an Electron/Tauri shell with custom language server protocols (LSP) and tree-sitter integrations. The hard components are OS-level sandboxing (e.g., using Bubblewrap, Firejail, or Docker microVMs like Firecracker) to safely execute agent commands, coupled with a fast local inference/heuristics engine (C++ or Rust) to intercept and redact secrets before prompting LLM APIs.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
