About this plugin

Compound Engineering organises software work into a repeatable loop: understand the code, brainstorm options, plan a change, implement it, review the result and capture what was learned. Its skills also cover debugging, testing, simplifying code, handling pull-request feedback and managing worktrees.

Reach for it when you want consistent engineering workflows and project knowledge that can inform future changes. It can be installed through the plugin marketplaces for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, with no separate commands, agents or MCP servers required.
