Why we included this project

Compound Engineering is a workflow and prompt-asset package rather than a standalone runtime, so you pair it with the coding agent you already use. It installs a set of named skills into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other CLI and editor hosts, and those skills walk an agent through brainstorming requirements, writing a plan, executing it, simplifying the result, and reviewing the code. The last step codifies what the agent learned, so the next task starts from a better baseline instead of repeating the same mistakes. The planning and review emphasis is what sets it apart: the goal is to make each unit of work cheaper than the last, not just faster in isolation. Teams running agents across several tools will get the most out of the compound-note mechanism, which keeps lessons consistent from one session to the next.
