+ # WhyCode
30
+
31
+ > **Tells you what to be afraid of before touching a file.**
32
+
33
+ `git blame` answers "who". `git log` answers "what". WhyCode answers the
34
+ question your senior engineer asks before any change:
35
+
36
+ > *"Should I be careful here?"*
37
+
38
+ It mines what your repository already remembers — reverts, hotfixes,
39
+ incident-tagged commits, ghost authors, tightly coupled files, long silences,
40
+ verbatim warnings from past authors — and condenses them into a single **Risk
41
+ Card**. Then it hands that card to you, your CI, or the AI that's about to edit
42
+ the code.
43
+
44
+ ## Who is this for?
45
+
46
+ WhyCode is most valuable in moments when *the wrong edit hurts.* If you
47
+ recognise yourself in any of these, it'll pay rent:
48
+
49
+ - **Solo dev returning to a 3-month-old side project** — `whycode why <file>`
50
+ to remember why the weird bit is weird before the AI "fixes" it.
51
+ - **Senior engineer joining an unfamiliar codebase** — `whycode scan` to map
52
+ the load-bearing walls; `whycode why` before each first edit.
53
+ - **AI-paired developer** — install the MCP server and your editor's
54
+ assistant can read invariants and incident history *before* it refactors.
55
+ - **Tech lead reviewing PRs** — `whycode diff` ranks the PR's files by risk
56
+ so attention goes to the scary changes first.
57
+ - **CI / pre-commit gating** — `whycode diff --fail-on history` blocks the
58
+ build when high-risk files change without explanation.
59
+ - **SRE doing a 3am hotfix** — `whycode why <file> --brief` for a one-line
60
+ "what should I be afraid of?" sanity check.
61
+ - **Junior dev wanting to ship without breaking things** — `whycode scan`
62
+ shows where to step lightly.
63
+
64
+ What WhyCode is **not** for: replacing `git blame`, telling you *what*
65
+ changed, or suggesting fixes. It tells you the *why* and the *risk*. You
66
+ decide what to do.
67
+
68
+ ## Install
69
+
70
+ Once published to PyPI:
71
+
72
+ ```bash
73
+ pip install whycode
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ From source (current canonical path):
77
+
78
+ ```bash
79
+ pip install git+https://github.com/fangshuor/WhyCode.git
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ Requires Python 3.11+.
83
+
84
+ ## 60-second tour
85
+
86
+ ```bash
87
+ cd /path/to/your/repo
88
+
89
+ whycode init # one-command setup: CI workflow + pre-commit gate
90
+ whycode why src/some/file.py # the Risk Card for one file
91
+ whycode why src/some/file.py -b # one-line summary (for triage / scripts)
92
+ whycode why src/some/file.py --at <sha> # what did this file's risk look like as of <sha>?
93
+ whycode diff # rank everything you changed vs origin/main
94
+ whycode diff --staged # ditto, for files staged for commit
95
+ whycode diff --fail-on history # CI gate: exit 1 if any file is ≥ READ HISTORY FIRST
96
+ whycode show <sha> # classification + per-file risk for one commit
97
+ whycode timeline src/some/file.py # risk score evolution across the file's history
98
+ whycode honest src/some/file.py # every invariant line, verbatim, untruncated
99
+ whycode scan --top 10 # the riskiest files in the whole repo
100
+ whycode mcp -v # MCP server with tool-call logging
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ That's it. No config file, no daemon, no account, no upload.

134

135

136
+
137
+ ## The killer use case: hand it to your AI editor
138
+
139
+ WhyCode is also an MCP server. Configure it in any MCP-aware editor or
140
+ assistant, and the host LLM can pull a Risk Card before it edits any file.
141
+
142
+ ```json
143
+ {
144
+ "mcpServers": {
145
+ "whycode": { "command": "whycode", "args": ["mcp"] }
146
+ }
147
+ }
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ Drop that snippet into your editor's MCP configuration file (location varies
151
+ by editor — check your editor's MCP docs). Then in any chat:
152
+
153
+ > *"Refactor the refund flow."*
154
+
155
+ A well-configured assistant will call `get_risk_profile("src/payment/refund.py")`
156
+ first and read the warnings before it changes a line. Run `whycode mcp -v`
157
+ during development to log every tool call to stderr so you can verify the
158
+ integration is actually live.
159
+
160
+ Tools exposed:
161
+
162
+ - `get_risk_profile(path)` — full Risk Card.
163
+ - `get_file_decisions(path, limit=5)` — only the decision-flavoured signals
164
+ (reverts, incidents, ghost keepers, invariant quotes).
165
+
166
+ ## Wire it into git, CI, and your editor
167
+
168
+ WhyCode is most useful when it shows up automatically in the moments you'd
169
+ otherwise forget to look. The fast path:
170
+
171
+ ```bash
172
+ whycode init
173
+ ```
174
+
175
+ That installs two things:
176
+
177
+ - **`.git/hooks/pre-commit`** — runs `whycode diff --staged --fail-on handle`
178
+ before every commit. HANDLE WITH CARE files can't be touched without an
179
+ explicit `git commit --no-verify`.
180
+ - **`.github/workflows/whycode.yml`** — a GitHub Action that risk-ranks every
181
+ PR's files and fails the build at `--fail-on history` (≥ READ HISTORY FIRST).
182
+
183
+ Tune the `--fail-on` thresholds inside those two files for your repo. Re-run
184
+ with `whycode init --force` to overwrite.
185
+
186
+ **MCP server** — see the next section.
187
+
188
+ ## Architecture (three layers, by design)
189
+
190
+ | Layer | What | Network? | API key? |
191
+ | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- | -------- |
192
+ | 1 | Deterministic git facts (log, diffstat, revert pairs, author activity) | no | no |
193
+ | 2 | Heuristic signals (reverts, incidents, silence, ghost keeper, coupling, invariants, churn, newborn) | no | no |
194
+ | 3 | LLM polish (optional, opt-in, never on by default) | yes | yes |
195
+
196
+ **Layer 1 + Layer 2 produce the Risk Card you saw above. No model calls, no
197
+ data leaving your machine.** Layer 3 is reserved for natural-language
198
+ summarisation of decisions and is strictly opt-in.
199
+
200
+ ## What this is NOT
201
+
202
+ - ❌ Not a SaaS. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry.
203
+ - ❌ Not a code review bot. WhyCode reports — never prescribes.
204
+ - ❌ Not a "what changed" tool. Plenty of those exist already.
205
+ - ❌ Not language-specific. We read git history, not your AST.
206
+ - ❌ Not a replacement for `git blame`. It's the briefing your senior would
207
+ give you *before* you opened blame.
208
+
209
