FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose and configure a Compound Engineering environment for project onboarding?

Diagnose a Compound Engineering environment by running a guided health check that validates plugin versions, required CLI tools, and repo-local configuration, then uses interactive prompts to install missing components.

What CLI tools are required for continuous environment setup and maintenance?

Continuous environment setup requires CLI tools including gh, jq, ast-grep, ffmpeg, silicon, vhs, and agent-browser, which the health check verifies before enabling CE workflows.

Can I bootstrap a .compound-engineering config locally in my existing repository?

You can bootstrap repo-local .compound-engineering configuration through guided setup, which analyzes your repository state and provides cleanup guidance to prepare the project for CE workflows.

Why does my Compound Engineering workflow fail when required plugins or tools are missing?

Compound Engineering workflows fail when required plugins or CLI tools are missing, because the setup enforces tool checks to verify plugin versions and local config before allowing CE operations to proceed.

What is the best way to verify agent capabilities and tool versions for devops onboarding?

Verify agent capabilities and tool versions for devops onboarding by running an interactive environment health check that enforces tool checks and validates agent skills required for the CE setup.

Does ce-setup work with ongoing maintenance or only new project onboarding?

The ce-setup works with both new project onboarding and ongoing maintenance, running guided health checks to verify plugin versions, CLI tools, and repo-local settings whenever needed.
