# Compound Engineering\n\n[](https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin/actions/workflows/ci.yml)\n[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@every-env/compound-plugin)\n\nAI skills and agents that make each unit of engineering work easier than the last.\n\n## Philosophy\n\n**Each unit of engineering work should make subsequent units easier -- not harder.**\n\nTraditional development accumulates technical debt. Every feature adds complexity. Every bug fix leaves behind a little more local knowledge that someone has to rediscover later. The codebase gets larger, the context gets harder to hold, and the next change becomes slower.\n\nCompound engineering inverts this. 80% is in planning and review, 20% is in execution:\n\n- Plan thoroughly before writing code with `/ce-brainstorm` and `/ce-plan`\n- Review to catch issues and calibrate judgment with `/ce-code-review` and `/ce-doc-review`\n- Codify knowledge so it is reusable with `/ce-compound`\n- Keep quality high so future changes are easy\n\nThe point is not ceremony. The point is leverage. A good brainstorm makes the plan sharper. A good plan makes execution smaller. A good review catches the pattern, not just the bug. A good compound note means the next agent does not have to learn the same lesson from scratch.\n\n**Learn more**\n\n- [Full component reference](plugins/compound-engineering/README.md) - all agents and skills\n- [Compound engineering: how Every codes with agents](https://every.to/chain-of-thought/compound-engineering-how-every-codes-with-agents)\n- [The story behind compounding engineering](https://every.to/source-code/my-ai-had-already-fixed-the-code-before-i-saw-it)\n\n## Workflow\n\n`/ce-strategy` is upstream of the loop -- it captures the product's target problem, approach, persona, metrics, and tracks as a short durable anchor at `STRATEGY.md`. Ideate, brainstorm, and plan read it as grounding when present, so strategy choices flow into feature conception, prioritization, and spec.\n\nThe co
