Capture a solved problem's lesson in its cheapest durable form, a test or lint rule, a coding standard, or a repo learning, or refresh existing learnings against the codebase. Use when verified work produced non-obvious reasoning absent from its final code, tests, or existing docs, or when auditing stale, overlapping, or drifted learnings. Avoid routine fixes whose artifacts already explain the lesson.

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

# /ce-compound

## Choosing the job

This skill does one of two jobs. **Capture** holds the lesson of one solved problem. **Refresh** audits the existing learnings against the current codebase and can delete docs and open a PR.

Run refresh when the arguments contain `mode:refresh`, or when an interactive run was invoked to do one, as in `/ce-compound refresh payments`, "clean up the learnings", or a standalone request to create `CONCEPTS.md`. An earlier remark in the session does not count. Read `references/refresh/overview.md` and follow it instead of the rest of this file. The refresh references name the parts of this file they reuse.

Otherwise run capture. A non-interactive run without `mode:refresh` is always capture, whatever its context says. Capture takes free-text context, so `refresh token rotation` after fixing that bug is a capture. If an interactive run's words could mean either job, ask once with the host's blocking question tool, and capture if there is no answer.

## Capture

**Outcome:** the lesson of one qualifying solved problem is held in the cheapest form that stops the repeat, grounded against the current tree, discoverable by the next agent.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin/ce-compound@sha256:bc59ebc46ccfeddd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.6035b25, 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.
