GitHub - EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin: Official Compound Engineering plugin for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more

Use in the 1-N phase (existing codebase, some users, developing new features). Use gstack for 0-1 phase.

Step by Step Workflow

`/ce-strategy`
outputs strategy.md which contains target problem, approach, target user/persona, 2-5 ley S.M.A.R.T metrics, and 2-4 tracks of work.
rerun the interview every few months so agent can reassess with shipped features
Planning and Ideation
/ce-ideate for generating and evaluating the big picture ideas before committing to a feature
/ce-brainstorm Q&A to think through the feature and generate a requirements doc
/ce-plan translate the requirements into implementation plan
Execution and Building
/ce-work executed the implementation plan while using task tracking and work trees
/ce-debug for root causes of failures
/ce-code-review to catch issues before merging
/ce-compound puts what you learned during development into code so that the next agent doesn't have to relearn the same lessons from scratch
Reviewing metrics and feedback
/ce-product-pulse interview for connecting up to 4 MCPs (posthot analytics, datadog tracing, payments, and read-only database)
outputs a report for most critical action points, usage metrics, performance metrics, and actionable follow-ups.
tip: schedule to run every morning or once a week, becomes working memory and heps answer questions about impact of certain features

Prioritization. I have a custom /prioritize command that I run daily. Compound engineering has a few planning skills—plan, ideate, brainstorm—that address this to some degree.
Pulse comparison. Diffing two pulse reports—or tracking a specific metric across a window of saved reports—would be useful and isn’t in this version. The raw material is there (plain Markdown, dated filenames); a future skill could aggregate data across reports.
Per-stack customization paths. The skills ship with generalized interviews. If you use a tool that’s not named, such as a niche analytics provider or a custom internal system, you’ll edit the configuration by hand. That’s fine—the skills are designed to be readable and editable—but it’s worth knowing going in.
