Pairs with /essay-outline. Runs structural review via story-lens skill
(Saunders framework), then granular line-level editing. Guards against
timid scribe syndrome and preserves author voice via john-voice skill.
Outputs a fully edited essay to docs/essays/.

Transforms a brain dump into a story-structured essay outline.
Pressure tests for a real thesis, applies the Saunders framework
via story-lens skill to validate hook, escalation, and conclusion,
then writes a tight outline to file.
Also fixes stale skill count in README (22 → 24).

* feat(commands): add /compound-engineering-setup for configurable agents
Adds a new setup command that allows users to configure which review
agents to use instead of hardcoding them in workflows. This enables:
- Multi-step onboarding with AskUserQuestion for easy setup
- Auto-detection of project type (Rails, Python, TypeScript, etc.)
- Three setup modes: Quick (smart defaults), Advanced, and Minimal
- Configuration stored in .claude/compound-engineering.json
- Support for both global (~/.claude/) and project-specific config
Updated workflows to read from config:
- /workflows:review - reads reviewAgents from config
- /plan_review - reads planReviewAgents from config
- /workflows:work - references config for reviewer agents
- /workflows:compound - references config for specialized agents

* feat: auto-trigger setup when no config exists
Workflows now detect missing config and offer inline quick setup:
- "Quick Setup" - auto-detect project type, create config, continue
- "Full Setup" - run /compound-engineering-setup for customization
- "Skip" - use defaults just this once
This ensures users get onboarded automatically when running any
workflow for the first time, without needing to know about the
setup command beforehand.

Major expansion of agent-native-architecture skill based on real-world

Communication, and Model Tier Selection patterns
Enhanced agent-native-reviewer with comprehensive review process covering

app state."

New patterns in agent-native-architecture skill:
- **Dynamic Capability Discovery** - For agent-native apps integrating with
external APIs (HealthKit, HomeKit, GraphQL), use a discovery tool (list_*)
plus a generic access tool instead of individual tools per endpoint.
(Note: Static mapping is fine for constrained agents with limited scope.)
- **CRUD Completeness** - Every entity needs create, read, update, AND delete.
- **iCloud File Storage** - Use iCloud Documents for shared workspace to get
free, automatic multi-device sync without building a sync layer.
- **Architecture Review Checklist** - Pushes reviewer findings earlier into
design phase. Covers tool design, action parity, UI integration, context.
