What it is

Anyone Can Code (ACC) is a free open-source plugin for OpenAI Codex.
Not a new agent. Not an IDE. Codex writes the code. ACC gives the work a clear path.

Step	What you get
Plan	A clear path before big changes
Build	Work done step by step in your project
Check	A real “is it done?” pass — not just “looks fine”
Remember	Desktop + CLI: auto memory when hooks trusted ($learn / $wiki optional)

One plugin for Desktop and CLI — same name: Anyone Can Code.

Open beta · v2.0.0-beta.5 · one plugin Desktop + CLI · auto memory when hooks trusted.

Need: Codex (Desktop and/or CLI) · Python 3

I’m Mitun. One product I shipped with ACC: Everything AI v0.4.2.

Everyday use

You can also just talk in plain English.

$setup	First time in a project
$status / $help	Where am I? What’s next?
$resume	Continue after a break
$verify	Is this actually done?

Example: “Build a simple expense tracker and explain each step in plain English.”
