Startup insights
Value proposition

DuckCode is a terminal-native AI coding agent with five modes - Plan, Build, Duck, Loop, Hack - each matched to what you need: read-only exploration, guided coding with mandatory diff review, Socratic debugging, autonomous execution, or OWASP security audits. No API keys, no server setup needed.

Problem solved

Most AI coding agents apply the same chat behavior for debugging, exploring, or executing tasks, leading to unreviewed file changes and code you don't understand. DuckCode matches agent behavior to intent: diff review before every edit, Socratic debugging, autonomous execution, security audits.
