compound-engineering

Capturing engineering learnings requires a structured workflow that embeds knowledge into project documents. This Skill enforces a five-phase loop—Research, Plan, Work, Review, and Compound—updating CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md to propagate insights across tasks.

The best way to structure a new feature workflow is using a phased progression. This Skill defines Research for parallel exploration, Plan for acceptance criteria, Work for implementation, and Review for code quality verification before capturing learnings.

CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md propagate project knowledge by acting as central repositories for insights. This Skill updates these files during the Compound phase, ensuring that learnings from one unit of work are accessible to future tasks across folders.

No external dependencies are required to run the compound-engineering workflow. The Skill operates using a frontmatter definition with a descriptive Markdown body, with optional scripts, references, and assets added as needed.

A phased engineering workflow should be used when you want each unit of work to make the next easier. This Skill provides a repeatable structure for systematically researching, planning, executing, verifying, and compounding learnings.

The compound-engineering skill solves the problem of lost project knowledge by documenting and enforcing a repeatable workflow. It embeds learning into the codebase so that each completed task systematically reduces friction for future work.
