Compound Engineering
Every's AI coding methodology — 50+ agents, 42+ skills, and the full sprint lifecycle in one plugin.
What it does
The Compound Engineering plugin from Every encodes their 80/20 AI coding philosophy as a complete set of slash commands: 80% of the work is planning and review, 20% is execution. The plugin ships 50+ agents and 42+ skills covering the full software development lifecycle — from ideation through brainstorming, planning, implementation, code review, debugging, optimization, and knowledge compounding.
Standout capabilities include multi-agent code review with confidence gating, iterative optimization loops using LLM-as-judge, session history research across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, Slack context lookup for organizational knowledge, and a knowledge compounding system that documents solved problems to prevent repeat work.
The plugin works across Claude Code, Pi, Cursor, Codex, and 8 other agents — so workflows transfer across tools.
Why it's included
Compound Engineering is one of the most complete and battle-tested AI engineering methodologies available. Every has been building with AI agents longer than most, and the plugin reflects real lessons about what makes multi-agent coding workflows succeed. It's the closest thing to a complete playbook for AI-assisted engineering.
