Lightweight-delegation variant of compound-engineering. Agent registrations removed; specialist prompts loaded on demand from references/agent-prompts/. See https://github.com/ak2k/ce-lite.
Build applications where agents are first-class citizens. Use this skill when designing autonomous agents, creating MCP tools, implementing self-modifying systems, or building apps where features are outcomes achieved by agents operating in a loop.
Run comprehensive agent-native architecture review with scored principles
Explore requirements and approaches through collaborative dialogue before writing a right-sized requirements document and planning implementation. Use for feature ideas, problem framing, when the user says 'let's brainstorm', or when they want to think through options before deciding what to build. Also use when a user describes a vague or ambitious feature request, asks 'what should we build', 'help me think through X', presents a problem with multiple valid solutions, or seems unsure about scope or direction — even if they don't explicitly ask to brainstorm.
Clean up local branches whose remote tracking branch is gone. Use when the user says "clean up branches", "delete gone branches", "prune local branches", "clean gone", or wants to remove stale local branches that no longer exist on the remote. Also handles removing associated worktrees for branches that have them.
Commit, push, and open a PR with an adaptive, value-first description. Use when the user says "commit and PR", "push and open a PR", "ship this", "create a PR", "open a pull request", "commit push PR", or wants to go from working changes to an open pull request in one step. Also use when the user says "update the PR description", "refresh the PR description", "freshen the PR", "rewrite the PR body", "write a PR description", "draft a PR description", or "describe this PR" — the skill will produce a description without committing or pushing if that is all the user wants. Produces PR descriptions that scale in depth with the complexity of the change, avoiding cookie-cutter templates.

Lightweight-delegation variant of compound-engineering-plugin.
Drops the persistent agent registrations (~58.8k tokens baseline on Opus 4.7 1M-context) and converts orchestrator commands to spawn Task subagents inline. Specialist prompts move to references/agent-prompts/. Same expertise, no idle context cost.
Phase 1 — scaffolding. Converter not yet implemented. See the design doc in ak2k/nix-config:docs/plans/ce-lite-converter.md.
Tracking: work-nrxg on the private bd workspace.

During trial, slash commands are namespaced under /ce-lite:* so the original compound-engineering plugin can be installed alongside for direct comparison. Before the upstream PR is filed, the live build will switch to /ce:* (drop-in replacement).
| Upstream CE | ce-lite | |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline context cost | ~58.8k tokens (29 persistent agents) | ~30 tokens (slash-command frontmatter only) |
| Specialist coverage | Full | Full (prompts moved to references/agent-prompts/) |
| Proactive specialist invocation | ✅ Any conversation can pull security-sentinel | ❌ Specialists only fire via /ce-lite:review |
| Maintenance | Anthropic / EveryInc | Auto-regenerated daily from upstream by GH Action |
converter/extract.py — read agents/*.md from upstream CE, relocate bodies to dist/references/agent-prompts/<name>.md, build manifest.json.converter/rewrite.py — pattern-based regex transform of commands/ce/*.md. Replace dispatch mentions with explicit Task calls. Fail loud on unrecognized agent mentions.converter/validate.py — structural assertions over the output (no orphan refs, every Task call points at a real prompt file, manifest count matches file count, etc.).smoke.sh — nix flake check + diff vs. last-published version.No LLM in the CI loop. All transforms deterministic.
pr-review-toolkit or code-review?Both are excellent and ~6× cheaper than CE. Choose them if you don't need CE's opinionated personas (DHH-Rails-reviewer, kieran-Python-reviewer, etc.) or specialists like architecture-strategist, data-integrity-guardian, performance-oracle.
ce-lite exists for users who want CE's coverage at near-zero baseline cost.
