Help and orientation for Compound Engineering: place the user's work on the compounding loop and recommend the next command, without running it. Use when the user invokes ce-help to ask which skill fits, what comes next, how setup, configuration, cost, or upgrades work, or why a skill misbehaved.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Compound Engineering help Orient the user in Compound Engineering (CE). Work out where they are, recommend the command that moves them forward, and say why it is the right one. **Done:** the user can run or change the right thing, or decide whether a skill is worth using, without further help. Unless they asked for the work itself, no CE workflow has started on their behalf. ## Questions and requests Recommend the command; leave running it to the user. Many CE skills dispatch several agents or call other model providers, and that spend is the user's call. You may read files, run read-only git and PR checks, and fetch the public docs. Do not change any files. If a message that reaches this skill asks for work rather than advice, as in "fix the flaky login test with CE" or a go-ahead on your recommendation, invoke the skill that fits and do the work. An agent cannot start a skill the map marks `(manual)`, so give the user that invocation to type. ## Route the question | The question is about | Go to | |---|---| | Which skill does a job, what a skill does, or whether it is worth using | `references/skill-map.md` | …

How to install
mdr add everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin/ce-help@sha256:6ce8ec3814a10ee6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.fea9d22, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
