Just realized I never posted about the coding subscription integration in Shinka before 🙈

You can now leverage Claude Code/Codex subscriptions via headless-cli as mutation engines in your evolution loops 🔁

Happy to present our work on tree-based agentic discovery tomorrow at the @AIDDA_Institute 2026 Conference 🧑‍🔬

I will talk about all the Shinka 🧬 feature developments post-2025 release, including:

1. Program sampling/eval throughput improvements 🏎️ 2. Cost-aware LLM sampling for budget efficiency 💸 3. Coding agent integration, including both launching Shinka within coding agents and using codex/cc subscriptions for program sampling 🕵️‍♀️

Registrations are still open 👉 https://luma.com/AIDDA2026

Should be a great event bringing together and growing the automated discovery community

using claude code/codex subs as mutation engines in an evolution loop is clever. the number that bites isn't whether it runs, it's whether the session holds full context across a long run instead of auto-compacting mid-loop. holding full context across a long headless run without auto-compacting is exactly what we tuned fazm's context engine for, https://fazm.ai/r/5z4v28gk
