Customizing Shelley, Customizing Software

Exe.dev's coding agent Shelley can be customized by asking it to change itself, with customizations rebased onto each new version. The company advocates editing code directly as a third way to customize software, treating the tool like a wiki.

If you want to customize Shelley, open up a conversation, and ask the agent to change itself. It will do so. When a new version of Shelley ships, it rebases your customizations onto the latest version, so your changes always carry forward. The traditional approach to software customization has been configuration and plug-in architectures. With the advent of coding agents, a third way is viable: edit the code. The tool exists to serve you, so treat it like a wiki https://blog.exe.dev/software-as-wiki , slap an "Edit With Shelley" ribbon on it, and go to town. Give customizing Shelley a shot When you've got features that can stand the test of time, pop into our Discord https://exe.dev/docs/getting-help , and let us know.
