# How Dan Shipper actually uses coding agents

CEO of Every

**If you take one thing:** `"Want me to compound?"`, asked after every sweep. his AGENTS.md makes the agent offer, after each run, to turn what it learned into a policy change he approves.

- **Agent:** Codex (app) ([source, 2026-09-22](https://x.com/danshipper/status/2102461471716483208))
- **Agent:** Claude Code ([source, 2026-07-03](https://github.com/dshipper/solace/commit/0cfee9332e55bb45a1d2c9f766b2f63bb914a0d1))
- **Model:** GPT-6 Sol ([source, 2026-09-22](https://x.com/danshipper/status/2102461471716483208))
- **Model:** Claude Fable ([source, 2026-08-16](https://x.com/danshipper/status/2089121597017759800))
- **Review:** Vibe codes; doesn't read the codebase ([source, 2026-03-20](https://every.to/chain-of-thought/when-your-vibe-coded-app-goes-viral-and-then-goes-down))
- **Harness:** Codex app with computer use, tasks titled by a shared emoji convention ([source, 2026-09-02](https://x.com/danshipper/status/2095245632533622862))
- **Rules file:** AGENTS.md in his open-source Tend repo (34 lines) ([source, 2026-07-06](https://github.com/EveryInc/tend/blob/ba6ba0e614f5d1151b75032bd58951a0fcb75067/AGENTS.md#L3))

## In their words

> It’s my new daily driver in Codex

> Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

> @OpenAI just dropped GPT-6 Sol. It’s my new daily driver in Codex: not quite Astra, but close enough for much of my everyday work, faster, and 50% cheaper than 5.6 Sol.

> used fable to vibe code an app that visualizes and groups everyone who applied to come to Thesis

> And I’ve learned a lot about both building and launching a purely vibe coded app.
