AI-powered development tools that get smarter with every use. Make each unit of engineering work easier than the last.
After installing, run /ce-setup in any project. It diagnoses your environment, installs missing tools, and bootstraps project config in one interactive flow.

The primary entry points for engineering work, invoked as slash commands. Detailed user-facing documentation for many skills lives in docs/skills/ — each linked skill name below points to its page (purpose, novel mechanics, use cases, chain position). Skills without dedicated docs are still listed; their SKILL.md in the source tree is authoritative.
ce-strategy anchors the loop upstream; ce-product-pulse closes it with a read on user outcomes.
| Skill | Description |
|---|
/ce-strategy | Create or maintain STRATEGY.md — the product's target problem, approach, persona, key metrics, and tracks. Re-runnable to update. Read as grounding by /ce-ideate, /ce-brainstorm, and /ce-plan when present |
/ce-ideate | Optional big-picture ideation: generate and critically evaluate grounded ideas, then route the strongest one into brainstorming. Writes the ranked ideation artifact as a single self-contained HTML file by default (human-facing); pass output:md for markdown (exclusive — html OR md, never both) |
/ce-brainstorm | Interactive Q&A to think through a feature or problem and write a right-sized requirements doc before planning. Pass output:html to write the doc as a single self-contained HTML file instead of markdown (exclusive — md OR html, never both) |
/ce-plan | Create structured plans for any multi-step task -- software features, research workflows, events, study plans -- with automatic confidence checking. Pass output:html to write the plan as a single self-contained HTML file instead of markdown (exclusive — md OR html, never both) |
/ce-code-review | Structured code review with tiered persona agents, confidence gating, and dedup pipeline |
/ce-work | Execute work items systematically |
/ce-debug | Systematically find root causes and fix bugs -- traces causal chains, forms testable hypotheses, and implements test-first fixes |
/ce-compound | Document solved problems to compound team knowledge |
/ce-compound-refresh | Refresh stale or drifting learnings and decide whether to keep, update, replace, or archive them |
/ce-optimize | Run iterative optimization loops with parallel experiments, measurement gates, and LLM-as-judge quality scoring |
/ce-product-pulse | Generate a single-page, time-windowed report on usage, performance, errors, and followups. Saves reports to docs/pulse-reports/ as a browseable timeline of what users experienced |
| Skill | Description |
|---|
/ce-sessions | Ask questions about session history across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor |
/ce-slack-research | Search Slack for interpreted organizational context -- decisions, constraints, and discussion arcs |

|---|
ce-clean-gone-branches | Clean up local branches whose remote tracking branch is gone |
ce-commit | Create a git commit with a value-communicating message |
ce-commit-push-pr | Commit, push, and open a PR with an adaptive description; also update an existing PR description, or generate a description on its own without committing |
ce-worktree | Ensure work happens in an isolated git worktree — detect existing isolation, prefer native worktree tooling, else create one |
| Skill | Description |
|---|
/ce-demo-reel | Capture a visual demo reel (GIF demos, terminal recordings, screenshots) for PRs with project-type-aware tier selection |
/ce-promote | Draft user-facing announcement copy for a shipped feature (X post, changelog blurb, LinkedIn, email); voice-matched via the Spiral CLI when installed, a lite layer of editorial & social expertise without it |
/ce-report-bug | Report a bug in the compound-engineering plugin |
/ce-resolve-pr-feedback | Resolve PR review feedback in parallel |
/ce-test-browser | Run browser tests on PR-affected pages |
/ce-test-xcode | Build and test iOS apps on simulator using XcodeBuildMCP |
/ce-setup | Diagnose environment, install missing tools, and bootstrap project config |
/ce-update | Check compound-engineering plugin version and fix stale cache (Claude Code only) |
