SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Compound Engineering solves the problem of accumulating technical debt and complexity by turning each unit of engineering work into a learning loop that documents and reuses insights to simplify future tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan: research and craft detailed implementation plans that guide subsequent work.
  • Work & Review: execute plans with continuous validation and formal review to extract learnings.
  • Compound: feed results back into future cycles to reduce effort and improve quality.
  • Use Case: a new feature is planned, implemented, reviewed, and codified so future features are easier to build.

Quick Start

Describe your feature, then start the Plan → Work → Review → Compound loop to begin execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure an engineering workflow to reduce technical debt?▼

A compound engineering workflow structures work into Plan, Work, Review, and Compound phases. This turns each unit of work into a reusable learning loop that documents insights to reduce technical debt and simplify future tasks.

What is the best way to document engineering learnings during feature implementation?▼

Document learnings by executing implementation plans with a formal Review phase. This extracts insights during execution and feeds results back into future Compound cycles to codify knowledge and reduce future effort.

How do I create a repeatable process for planning and reviewing bug fixes?▼

Create a repeatable process by applying the Plan, Work, Review, and Compound loop to bug fixes. This coordinates end-to-end workflows and codifies learnings so future bug fixes require less effort and accumulated complexity.

Do I need a specific file format to define a structured engineering workflow?▼

You need a Markdown file with a SKILL.md frontmatter containing name and description. The workflow also supports optional scripts, references, and assets directories to manage configuration and engineering resources.
