- Bump version to 2.28.0 in plugin.json and marketplace.json
(CHANGELOG was updated but version numbers were missed)
- Fix all repo URLs from kieranklaassen/* to EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin
- Update component counts in docs: 28 agents, 24 commands, 15 skills, 1 MCP
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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
Add two new phases to improve plan quality through user collaboration:
- Phase 0: Idea Refinement - Refines feature ideas through dialogue
before running research agents. Asks questions one at a time,
prefers multiple choice, focuses on purpose/constraints/success
criteria. Skip option for detailed descriptions.
- Research Validation - After research completes, summarizes findings
and validates alignment before drafting the full plan.
Both phases are optional and can be skipped, ensuring the workflow
remains lightweight while catching misunderstandings early.
- 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
- Add branch detection at start of Setup Environment step
- Support continuing on existing feature branch or creating new
- Require explicit confirmation to commit to default branch
- Add incremental commit guidance with decision criteria table
- Include heuristic: "Can I write a meaningful commit message?"
- Generalize test commands to be framework-agnostic
- Renamed every-marketplace to compound-marketplace
- Updated all EveryInc references to kieranklaassen
- Updated owner info in marketplace.json

- Remove Playwright MCP server from plugin
- Add new agent-browser skill for CLI-based browser automation
- Rename /playwright-test to /test-browser command
- Update all commands and agents to use agent-browser CLI
- Update README and plugin.json
agent-browser is Vercel's headless browser CLI designed for AI agents.
It uses ref-based selection (@e1, @e2) from accessibility snapshots
and provides a simpler CLI interface compared to MCP tools.
Key benefits:
- No MCP server required
- Simpler Bash-based workflow
- Same ref-based element selection
- Better for quick automation tasks

The /workflows:plan skill was producing inconsistent plan filenames
(sometimes gibberish, sometimes descriptive) because it lacked explicit
rules for converting issue titles to filenames.
Changes:
- Step 2: Added instruction to convert title to kebab-case filename
with example transformation (feat: Add User Auth → feat-add-user-auth.md)
- Output Format: Replaced vague <issue_title> placeholder with clear
pattern and good/bad examples

- Read frontmatter (title, category, tags, module, symptom) of each learning
- Compare against plan to determine relevance
- SKIP learnings that are clearly not applicable
- SPAWN sub-agents only for learnings that MIGHT apply
- Example: 15 files found → filter to 3 relevant → spawn 3 sub-agents
Smarter than spawning 50 sub-agents when only 5 are relevant.

Fixes#42
Workflow commands now use `workflows:` prefix to avoid collisions with
Claude Code's built-in commands:
- `/workflows:plan` (was `/plan`)
- `/workflows:review` (was `/review`)
- `/workflows:work` (was `/work`)
- `/workflows:compound` (was `/compound`)
To upgrade: Update to latest plugin version. If you see duplicate `/plan`
commands, the new namespaced commands avoid this collision.
Also fixed in this release:
- Added missing `name:` field to heal-skill.md and create-agent-skill.md
- Rewrote corrupted prime.md
- Shortened Playwright MCP alias from `playwright` to `pw`
- Removed deprecated codify.md
