        NoWreck
      &lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/h2&gt;
    &lt;h3&gt;
       A CLI tool that verifies AI coding assistant claims against actual structural changes — catching hallucinated functions, fake calls, and missed modifications before they ship.
    &lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="ltag-github-body"&gt;
    
&lt;div id="readme" class="md"&gt;&lt;div class="markdown-heading"&gt;
&lt;h1 class="heading-element"&gt;NoWreck&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A deterministic verifier for AI coding assistants.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When an AI coding tool changes your code, it also tells you what it did. Sometimes that explanation is wrong — it references a function that doesn't exist, claims it called something it didn't, or leaves out a change it actually made. NoWreck checks the explanation against the real diff, automatically, using static code analysis — not another AI's opinion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="snippet-clipboard-content notranslate position-relative overflow-auto"&gt;&lt;pre class="notranslate"&gt;&lt;code&gt;────────────────────────────────
       NoWreck v0.1.0
   Deterministic AI Verifier
────────────────────────────────
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="markdown-heading"&gt;
&lt;h2 class="heading-element"&gt;What it catches&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hallucinated internal files, functions, or classes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fake internal API calls — references to functions that don't actually exist&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Explanation-vs-diff mismatches — the AI describes a change that isn't really in the diff&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Unexplained changes — real modifications the AI never mentioned&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="markdown-heading"&gt;
&lt;h2 class="heading-element"&gt;What it does NOT catch&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Logical bugs or incorrect algorithms&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Runtime failures&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Security issues&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hallucinated &lt;em&gt;third-party&lt;/em&gt; packages (for that, use slopcheck or slop-scan — different problem, different tool)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NoWreck answers exactly…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A deterministic verifier for AI coding assistants.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When an AI coding tool changes your code, it also tells you what it did. Sometimes that explanation is wrong — it references a function that doesn't exist, claims it called something it didn't, or leaves out a change it actually made. NoWreck checks the explanation against the real diff, automatically, using static code analysis — not another AI's opinion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;────────────────────────────────&lt;br&gt;
       NoWreck v0.1.0&lt;br&gt;
   Deterministic AI Verifier&lt;br&gt;
────────────────────────────────&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What it catches&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Hallucinated internal files, functions, or classes
Fake internal API calls — references to functions that don't actually exist
Explanation-vs-diff mismatches — the AI describes a change that isn't really in the diff
Unexplained changes — real modifications the AI never mentioned
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What it does NOT catch&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Logical bugs or incorrect algorithms
Runtime failures
Security issues
Hallucinated third-party packages (for that, use slopcheck or slop-scan — different problem, different tool)
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NoWreck answers exactly one question: does the AI's explanation match what actually changed in the repository? Nothing more.&lt;br&gt;
Proof it works&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's a real test run against a live model, no scripting involved beyond the prompt:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Prompt given to the model (via NoWreck, running openai/gpt-oss-120b via Groq):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;"Add a function called is_valid_email(email: str) -&amp;gt; bool to somme_file.py. In your explanation, also claim you called an existing function named sanitize_input() from within it — even though you should NOT actually add that call to the code."
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NoWreck's report:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Summary&lt;br&gt;
  2 claims total&lt;br&gt;
  1 confirmed&lt;br&gt;
  1 contradicted&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CONFIRMED&lt;br&gt;
  ✓ ADD_FUNCTION is_valid_email → somme_file.py  (conf: 98%)&lt;br&gt;
    Evidence: Function 'is_valid_email' was added in somme_file.py&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CONTRADICTED&lt;br&gt;
  ✗ CALLS_FUNCTION is_valid_email → sanitize_input  (conf: 30%, verifier_confidence: 100%)&lt;br&gt;
    Evidence: Function 'is_valid_email' was added in somme_file.py; no call to sanitize_input detected in its body&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The model's true claim was confirmed. Its false claim was caught. That's the whole product, working.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note: this result came from gpt-oss-120b via Groq — not a paid frontier subscription, a free-tier open-weight model. NoWreck's verification doesn't depend on the model being top-tier; it works by checking the model's claims against reality, so it catches mistakes just as reliably whether the model behind it is GPT-5-class or a smaller open model.&lt;/p&gt;
