Overview
Compounding Engineering Plugin
AI-powered development tools that get smarter with every use. Make each unit of engineering work easier than the last.
Getting Started
After installing, run /ce-setup in any project. It diagnoses your environment, installs missing tools, and bootstraps project config in one interactive flow.

Skills
Core Workflow
The primary entry points for engineering work are skills invoked with slash syntax:
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
/ce-ideate | Optional big-picture ideation: generate and critically evaluate grounded ideas, then route the strongest one into brainstorming |
/ce-brainstorm | Interactive Q&A to think through a feature or problem and write a right-sized requirements doc before planning |
/ce-plan | Create structured plans for any multi-step task -- software features, research workflows, events, study plans -- with automatic confidence checking |
/ce-code-review | Structured code review with tiered persona agents, confidence gating, and dedup pipeline |
/ce-work | Execute work items systematically |
/ce-debug | Systematically find root causes and fix bugs -- traces causal chains, forms testable hypotheses, and implements test-first fixes |
/ce-compound | Document solved problems to compound team knowledge |
/ce-compound-refresh | Refresh stale or drifting learnings and decide whether to keep, update, replace, or archive them |
/ce-optimize | Run iterative optimization loops with parallel experiments, measurement gates, and LLM-as-judge quality scoring |
For /ce-optimize, see skills/ce-optimize/README.md for usage guidance, example specs, and links to the schema and workflow docs.
