Components

Component	Count
Commands	1

Command	Description
/workflows:pipeline	Full development lifecycle orchestrator

Prerequisites

• compound-engineering plugin (required)
• ralph-loop plugin (optional)

Install dependencies:

claude plugin install compound-engineering

Installation

Add the marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/Bande-a-Bonnot/compounded-engineering

Install the plugin:

/plugin install compounded-engineering

Usage

Run the full pipeline:

/workflows:pipeline

Seed with a feature idea:

/workflows:pipeline "add rate limiting to the API"

What Happens

Phase 1 (interactive):

1. Brainstorm -- explore the idea with you
2. Plan -- generate an implementation plan
3. Deepen -- enrich with parallel research
4. Review -- multi-agent plan review; approve or reject

Phase 2 (autonomous):

5. Implement -- fresh Task agent per milestone
6. Open PR, request reviews (Codex, Gemini)
7. Address feedback, monitor CI
8. Compound learnings to branch

Phase 3:

9. Report PR URL(s). You merge.

For milestone plans, one agent per milestone. Pipeline waits for your merge between each.

Interaction Points

Step	Interactive?	Condition
Brainstorm	Yes (1-5 questions)	Always
Plan	Yes (0-3 questions)	If ambiguity exists
Deepen/Review	No	Autonomous
Apply suggestions	Yes (1 question)	Always
Implement	No	Autonomous per milestone
Merge approval	Yes (1 per milestone)	Multi-milestone plans only

For Agent Callers

Individual phases are available via compound-engineering:

• /compound-engineering:workflows:brainstorm
• /compound-engineering:workflows:plan
• /compound-engineering:workflows:work
• /compound-engineering:workflows:review
• /compound-engineering:workflows:compound

Use the pipeline for end-to-end. Use individual commands for targeted work.

Customization

Fork and edit commands/workflows/pipeline.md. Common changes:

• Remove review bot comments (lines with @codex, /gemini)
• Remove ralph-loop steps (steps 1 and 10)
• Add your own review commands
