The Phase 0 vibes-based heuristic warned users and forced a mode choice
even with 80%+ context remaining. Full mode now runs by default;
compact-safe mode stays available on explicit request.
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The model was offering "commit to current branch" on main instead
of "create a branch and PR." Added explicit branch detection step
and "Do NOT commit directly to main" instruction.
Let the agent generate a reasonable branch name based on context
and repo conventions instead of prescribing a date-based format
that would collide on multiple runs per day.
Handles committing changes at the end of a refresh run so doc
maintenance doesn't sit uncommitted. Detects git context and adapts:
autonomous mode uses sensible defaults (branch + PR on main, separate
commit on feature branches), interactive mode presents options. Always
selectively stages only compound-refresh files to avoid mixing with
in-progress feature work.
The file-tools-over-bash instruction was in the orchestrator's
context but not passed to spawned subagents. Changed to an explicit
quoted instruction block that must be included in each subagent's
task prompt so it's visible to the subagent, not just the orchestrator.
Auto-archive now requires both the implementation AND the problem
domain to be gone. If referenced files are deleted but the application
still deals with the same problem (auth, payments, migrations), the
learning should be Replace'd not Archive'd — the knowledge gap needs
to be filled. Uses agent reasoning about concepts, not mechanical
keyword searches.
The model was generating findings internally then outputting a
one-line summary. Added explicit instructions that the full report
must be printed as text output — every file, every classification,
every action. In autonomous mode, the report is the sole deliverable
and must be self-contained and complete.
- Restructure Phase 3 with explicit autonomous skip section that says
"do not ask, do not present, do not wait" before any interactive
instructions
- Add autonomous caveats to Core Rules 4, 7, 8 which previously had
unconditional "ask the user" language
- Clarify that missing referenced files is unambiguous Archive evidence,
not a doubt case requiring user input
Instead of requiring write permissions, autonomous mode attempts
writes and gracefully falls back to recommendations when denied.
Report splits into Applied (succeeded) and Recommended (could not
write) sections. Read-only invocations produce a maintenance plan.
Support mode:autonomous argument for unattended/scheduled runs.
In autonomous mode: skip all user questions, apply safe actions
directly, mark ambiguous cases as stale with conservative confidence,
and generate a detailed report for after-the-fact human review.
- Broad scope triage: inventory + impact clustering + spot-check drift
for 9+ docs, recommends highest-impact area instead of blind ask
- Drift classification: sharp boundary between Update (fix references
in-skill) and Replace (subagent writes successor learning)
- Replacement subagents: sequential subagents write new learnings using
ce:compound's document format with investigation evidence already
gathered, avoiding redundant research
- Stale fallback: when evidence is insufficient for a confident
replacement, mark as stale and recommend ce:compound later
- Use platform-agnostic interactive question tool phrasing with examples
for Claude Code and Codex instead of hardcoding AskUserQuestion
- Fix contradiction between Phase 2 auto-archive criteria and Phase 3
always-ask-before-archive rule so unambiguous archives proceed without
unnecessary user prompts
Adds a new skill that reviews existing docs/solutions/ learnings against the
current codebase and decides whether to keep, update, replace, or archive them.
Also enhances ce:compound with Phase 2.5 selective refresh checks.

Rebased onto main after #251 restructured commands into skills/.
Applied the same namespace fix to the new skill file locations
(ce-brainstorm, ce-plan, ce-review SKILL.md files).
Short agent names like `repo-research-analyst` are replaced with
fully-qualified `compound-engineering:research:repo-research-analyst`
to ensure correct agent resolution across all plugin targets.

Anthropic now maintains a better skill-creator at
github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/skill-creator.
Removes the bundled skill-creator and updates component counts
from 47 to 46 skills.
The /technical_review command was removed in v2.32.0 but references
remained in ce:plan and deepen-plan menus. Remove them entirely -
the existing 'Review and refine' option (document-review) already

The `create-agent-skills` SKILL.md contained literal `!`command`` dynamic
context injection directives as documentation examples. Claude Code's
preprocessor executes these directives as plain text before the skill
content is sent to the model — it does not parse markdown, so fenced code
blocks and inline code spans offer no protection.
When loading this skill, the preprocessor attempted to run `command`,
`gh pr diff`, and `gh pr diff --name-only` as shell commands, producing:
Bash command failed for pattern "!`command`":
(eval):1: redirection with no command
This caused the skill to fail silently or error on every invocation.
Fix: replace the literal directives with a prose description of the
syntax, add a warning about the preprocessor behavior, and link to
`references/official-spec.md` § "Dynamic Context Injection" for the
concrete example (reference files are loaded on-demand by Claude via the
Read tool and are not preprocessed).
Upstream context:
- anthropics/claude-code#27149 (closed, wontfix): preprocessor correctly
executes bare text; workaround is to describe the syntax in prose
- anthropics/claude-code#28024 (closed as duplicate of #13655)

* 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

- "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.

The plugin had hardcoded references to 'CORA' (Every's internal project)
throughout the documentation workflow, making it project-specific rather
than generic. This affected users trying to use the plugin on non-CORA
projects.
Changes:
- Replace 'cora-critical-patterns.md' with 'critical-patterns.md'
- Replace 'Which CORA module' with 'Which module or component'
- Replace 'CORA-Specific Resources' with 'Project-Specific Resources'
- Replace 'CORA-MODULES.md' with 'modules documentation'
- Replace 'CORA system' with 'System-wide' in templates
- Update cora-test-reviewer description to be generic
Files modified:
- learnings-researcher.md: Fixed critical patterns file reference
- compound-docs/SKILL.md: Removed module and filename hardcoding
- compound-docs/assets/*.md: Generalized template references
- workflows/compound.md: Changed 'CORA schema' to 'solution schema'
- workflows/work.md: Made test reviewer description generic
This makes the plugin truly project-agnostic as advertised.
* fix(compound-docs): correct severity enum in validation example
The example error message referenced [critical, moderate, minor] but
the yaml-schema.md defines severity as [critical, high, medium, low].
* refactor(agents): standardize search tool recommendations
- Update repo-research-analyst to recommend built-in Grep tool instead
of CLI rg (Grep uses ripgrep under the hood)
- Add TypeScript example for ast-grep alongside Ruby
- Update pattern-recognition-specialist to use built-in Grep tool
- Keep ast-grep for AST-based structural matching (language-specific)
* feat(agents): add learnings-researcher for institutional knowledge
Add new research agent that efficiently searches docs/solutions/ for
relevant past solutions before implementing features or fixing bugs.
Key features:
- Grep-first filtering strategy for efficiency with 100+ files
- Category-based narrowing to reduce search scope
- Parallel Grep calls with synonym support (OR patterns)
- Frontmatter-only reads before full document reads
- Always checks critical patterns file
- Uses haiku model for speed (structured task, recipe-based)
Integrates with /workflows:plan to run in parallel with
repo-research-analyst during local research phase.
Closes the loop on compound engineering: solutions documented via
/workflows:compound are now discoverable during planning.
- Move plans from `plans/` to `docs/plans/` for consistency with other artifacts
- Add date prefix (YYYY-MM-DD) to both plans and brainstorms for chronological sorting
- Add self-documenting suffixes: `-plan` and `-brainstorm` to identify artifact type
- Update filename derivation to extract title from content, not filename
- Clarify deepened plan naming: append `-deepened` after `-plan` suffix
New conventions:
- Brainstorms: `docs/brainstorms/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-brainstorm.md`
- Plans: `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>-<name>-plan.md`
- Deepened: `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>-<name>-plan-deepened.md`
* feat(workflows:plan): Add smart research decision logic
Previously, /workflows:plan always ran all 3 research agents (repo-research,
best-practices, framework-docs) regardless of task complexity. This wasted
tokens and time for simple tasks like UI tweaks or bug fixes with clear causes.
Now the workflow:
- Always runs repo research first (fast, local)
- Makes an informed decision about external research based on:
- Signals gathered during idea refinement (familiarity, intent, risk)
- Repo research findings (existing patterns, CLAUDE.md guidance)
- High-risk topics (security, payments, external APIs) always trigger research
- Strong local context allows skipping external research
- Announces the decision and proceeds, user can redirect if needed
This makes the planning workflow smarter about when web research adds value.
* feat: Add /workflows:brainstorm command and skill
Add brainstorming workflow to explore requirements and approaches
before planning implementation:
- New `/workflows:brainstorm` command for collaborative dialogue
- New `brainstorming` skill with process knowledge and techniques
- Update `/workflows:plan` to detect brainstorm output and skip
idea refinement when relevant brainstorm exists
- Add brainstorm to README workflow commands table
The brainstorm → plan flow enables:
- Phase 0: Assess requirement clarity
- Phase 1: Understand the idea via repo research + dialogue
- Phase 2: Explore 2-3 approaches with trade-offs
- Phase 3: Capture design to docs/brainstorms/
- Phase 4: Handoff to /workflows:plan
- Update "current year is 2025" to 2026 in 4 research agents
- Update year ranges to 2024-2026 for content searches in deepen-plan
and create-agent-skills workflows
- Change "currency" to "recency" for clarity in domain expertise skill
- Remove quotes from the routing table's Response column
- Add blank line after <routing> tag to allow markdown parsing
GitHub treats custom XML tags as HTML, requiring a blank line
before markdown content to render correctly.
