Official Compound Engineering plugin for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more
The Compound Engineering plugin is an official Claude Code plugin from EveryInc that delivers a comprehensive suite of AI engineering workflow skills designed to make each development cycle more productive than the last. It provides 33 distinct skills spanning brainstorming, planning, implementation, code review, debugging, and knowledge capture, all built around a philosophy where planning and review consume 80% of effort to maximize execution quality. The plugin works across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and numerous other AI coding platforms, installing specialist reviewer and research behaviors as self-contained prompt assets without requiring separate agent definitions. Each workflow step compounds learning into reusable documentation so subsequent features benefit from accumulated project knowledge.
