Compound Engineering
Brainstorm, plan, debug, review, and compound learnings with AI agents
Skills29
ce-brainstormExplore vague or ambitious ideas into a right-sized requirements-only unified plan. Use when the user wants to brainstorm, think through scope, decide what to build, or needs collaborative product framing before planning. Also use when the user must scope work in territory they say they do not know ("I know nothing about X but need to...") or asks for a blindspot pass — mapping the decision surface before questions begin. Not for executing already-specified work — direct implementation, debugging, or code review where no product scope is left to decide. Not for a decisive verdict on whether to adopt or switch to a specific external technology, library, or platform — brainstorming scopes what to build, not whether to commit to an outside option.
ce-code-reviewStructured code review for bugs, regressions, tests, and standards. Use before PRs or when asked for review; interactive mode can fix locally, while mode:agent reports only for pipeline callers.
ce-commitCreate a git commit with a clear, value-communication message. Use when the user asks to commit/save staged or unstaged changes with a repo-appropriate, value-communicating message.
ce-commit-push-prCommit, push, and open a PR. Use when asked to ship/open a PR, or for PR-description-only flows like writing, rewriting, or describing a PR body.
ce-compoundDocument a recently solved problem or durable project vocabulary in docs/solutions/ or CONCEPTS.md. Use when capturing a learning after work.
