What is it?
Compound Engineering is a plugin of 36 skills for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It organizes each change as a loop: brainstorm the requirements, write an implementation plan, execute the work, simplify the new code, review it against the plan, and then record what was learned in docs/solutions/ so later sessions can read it.
The skills cover the core loop plus supporting workflows: git commit and PR handling, browser and Xcode testing, debugging, design polishing, and an autonomous /lfg command that runs the full pipeline with a bounded CI repair loop. Artifact folders can be relocated through a configuration setting, and shared team rules can be packaged as Compound Packs.
The plugin installs natively on 14 agent hosts, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot CLI, Kimi Code CLI, and OpenCode, each with its own install steps.
Key features
- 01Six-step loop covering brainstorm, plan, work, simplify, review, and compound.
- 02Report-only multi-agent code review against the plan, with explicit local apply.
- 03Learnings are saved to docs/solutions/ and read by later brainstorm and plan runs.
- 04Autonomous /lfg command runs the pipeline and can push, open a PR, and watch CI.
- 05Installs on 14 agent hosts, including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Use cases
- Turning a rough feature idea into a reviewed, committed change with an agent.
- Recording project-specific lessons so future agent sessions do not relearn them.
- Sharing team conventions across repositories as Compound Packs.
- Debugging a bug report and shipping the fix through a PR workflow.
Quick start

Things to know
- It is a plugin for AI coding agent hosts, so you need one such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex to use it.
- Autonomous /lfg can push branches and open pull requests when a git remote exists.
