Develop independent competing solutions to a defined brief, compare them, and synthesize a winning approach. Use when choosing well requires developing alternatives beyond their current form. Use ce-pov to judge developed material and ce-ideate to discover opportunities.
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
# Bake-off Develop concrete competing solutions and return the strongest coherent approach to the user or calling skill. You do the generation, comparison, selection, synthesis, and verification. The caller decides adoption and does the subsequent work. Done means at least two usable independent candidates received an independent assessment, the coordinator reconciled it with its own comparison, the final artifact was verified against evidence and the brief, and the complete decision reached its consumer; otherwise return an explicit incomplete or unresolved result. The purpose is exploration before commitment, not a larger option count. Direct use is available. `ce-plan` and `ce-debug` route here on their own conditions; `ce-brainstorm` integrates it only when explicitly requested. Do not turn a routine choice into a competition. ## Frame and authority …

How to install
mdr add everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin/ce-bakeoff@sha256:745ebcbc63d7af65The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.e86a51a, 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.
