Advanced tools
Tools for AI-powered development that get smarter with every use. Make each unit of engineering work easier than the last.
Compounding engineering: Each unit of engineering work should make subsequent units of work easier—not harder.
Every-Env embodies this principle through a simple, repeatable process that ensures your development workflow continuously improves. Every-env is how we build software at Every.

Plan → Plan out a feature or bug fix in detail
Delegate → Do the work
Assess → Make sure it works as expected
Codify → Record learnings for next time
Every-Env is opinionated about the process (Plan → Delegate → Assess → Codify) but works with whatever tools you already use:
The four-step process works regardless of your toolchain. Every-Env provides the structure; you bring the tools.

every review # Latest plan
every review plans/auth.md # Specific plan
every review --github 1234 # GitHub PR/issue
every research <task>Analyze GitHub repos for implementation patterns:
every research "modal in react"
every research "auth flow" --depth deep
every research "webpack optimization" --output ./research
Options:
--depth - quick, standard, or deep-o, --output - Output directory (default: research/)Output: Timestamped markdown reports with best practices, code examples, and recommendations.
