Every Code (Code for short) is a fast, local coding agent for your terminal. It's a community-driven fork of openai/codex focused on real developer ergonomics: Browser integration, multi-agents, theming, and reasoning control — all while staying compatible with upstream.
- Auto Review – background ghost-commit watcher runs reviews in a separate worktree whenever a turn changes code; uses
codex-5.1-mini-highand reports issues plus ready-to-apply fixes without blocking the main thread. - Code Bridge – Sentry-style local bridge that streams errors, console, screenshots, and control from running apps into Code; ships an MCP server; install by asking Code to pull
https://github.com/just-every/code-bridge. - Plays well with Auto Drive – reviews run in parallel with long Auto Drive tasks so quality checks land while the flow keeps moving.
- Quality-first focus – the release shifts emphasis from "can the model write this file" to "did we verify it works".
- From v0.5.0: rename to Every Code, upgraded
/autoplanning/recovery, unified/settings, faster streaming/history with card-based activity, and more reliable/resume+/undo.

- 🚀 Auto Drive orchestration – Multi-agent automation that now self-heals and ships complete tasks.
- 🌐 Browser Integration – CDP support, headless browsing, screenshots captured inline.
- 🤖 Multi-agent commands –
/plan,/codeand/solvecoordinate multiple CLI agents. - 🧭 Unified settings hub –
/settingsoverlay for limits, theming, approvals, and provider wiring. - 🎨 Theme system – Switch between accessible presets, customize accents, and preview live via
/themes. - 🔌 MCP support – Extend with filesystem, DBs, APIs, or your own tools.
- 🔒 Safety modes – Read-only, approvals, and workspace sandboxing.
