Every

Personalized coding tutorials that build on your existing knowledge and use your actual codebase for examples. Creates a persistent learning trail that compounds over time using the power of AI, spaced repetition and quizes.

Run the full autonomous engineering pipeline end-to-end (plan, work, code review, test, commit, push, open PR, watch CI, fix CI failures until green). Use only when the user explicitly requests hands-off execution of a software task and provides a feature description; do not auto-route casual conversation here.

Create structured plans for multi-step tasks -- software features, research workflows, events, study plans, or any goal that benefits from breakdown. Also deepens existing plans with interactive sub-agent review. Use when the user says 'plan this', 'create a plan', 'how should we build', 'break this down', or when a brainstorm doc is ready for planning. Use 'deepen the plan' or 'deepening pass' for the deepening flow. For exploratory requests, prefer ce-brainstorm first.

Document a recently solved problem to compound your team's knowledge or CONCEPTS.md, the project's shared domain vocabulary.

Execute work efficiently while maintaining quality and finishing features

'Systematically find root causes and fix bugs. Use when debugging errors, investigating test failures, reproducing bugs from issue trackers (GitHub, Linear, Jira), or when stuck on a problem after failed fix attempts. Also use when the user says ''debug this'', ''why is this failing'', ''fix this bug'', ''trace this error'', or pastes stack traces, error messages, or issue references.'

Generate and critically evaluate grounded ideas about a topic. Use when asking what to improve, requesting idea generation, exploring surprising directions, or wanting the AI to proactively suggest strong options before brainstorming one in depth. Triggers on phrases like 'what should I improve', 'give me ideas', 'ideate on X', 'surprise me', 'what would you change', or any request for AI-generated suggestions rather than refining the user's own idea.

Review requirements or plan documents using parallel persona agents that surface role-specific issues. Use when a requirements document or plan document exists and the user wants to improve it.

Diagnose and configure compound-engineering environment. Checks CLI dependencies, plugin version, and repo-local config. Offers guided installation for missing tools. Use when troubleshooting missing tools, verifying setup, or before onboarding.

Search and ask questions about coding agent session history across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Use when asking what was worked on, what was tried before, how a problem was investigated across sessions, what happened recently, or any question about past agent sessions. Also use when the user references prior sessions, previous attempts, or past investigations — even without saying 'sessions' explicitly.

Structured code review using tiered persona agents, confidence-gated findings, and a merge/dedup pipeline. In interactive mode it applies safe, verified fixes and commits them when the working tree is clean (it never pushes); in mode:agent it reports only and the caller applies. Use when reviewing code changes before creating a PR.

Run metric-driven iterative optimization loops -- define a measurable goal, run parallel experiments, measure each against hard gates or LLM-as-judge scores, keep improvements, and converge on the best solution. Use when optimizing clustering quality, search relevance, build performance, prompt quality, or any measurable outcome that benefits from systematic experimentation.

Search Slack for interpreted organizational context -- decisions, constraints, and discussion arcs -- and produce a synthesized research digest with cross-cutting analysis. Use when the user says 'search slack for', 'what did we discuss about', 'slack context for', or 'what does the team think about'. Differs from slack:find-discussions, which returns raw message results without synthesis.

Capture a visual demo reel (GIF, terminal recording, screenshots) for PR descriptions. Use when shipping UI changes, CLI features, or any work with observable behavior that benefits from visual proof. Also use when asked to add a demo, record a GIF, screenshot a feature, show what changed visually, create a demo reel, capture evidence, add proof to a PR, or create a before/after comparison.

Capture solved problems as categorized documentation with YAML frontmatter for fast lookup

Build applications where agents are first-class citizens. Use this skill when designing autonomous agents, creating MCP tools, implementing self-modifying systems, or building apps where features are outcomes achieved by agents operating in a loop.

'Build web interfaces with genuine design quality, not AI slop. Use for any frontend work - landing pages, web apps, dashboards, admin panels, components, interactive experiences. Activates for both greenfield builds and modifications to existing applications. Detects existing design systems and respects them. Covers composition, typography, color, motion, and copy. Verifies results via screenshots before declaring done.'

Resolve PR review feedback by evaluating validity and fixing issues in parallel. Use when addressing PR review comments, resolving review threads, or fixing code review feedback.

Run browser tests on pages affected by current PR or branch

[BETA] Execute work with external delegate support. Same as ce-work but includes experimental Codex delegation mode for token-conserving code implementation.

Create an isolated git worktree for parallel feature work or PR review. Use when starting work that should not disturb the current checkout, or when `ce-work` or `ce-code-review` offers a worktree option.

This skill should be used when generating and editing images using the Gemini API (Nano Banana Pro). It applies when creating images from text prompts, editing existing images, applying style transfers, generating logos with text, creating stickers, product mockups, or any image generation/manipulation task. Supports text-to-image, image editing, multi-turn refinement, and composition from multiple reference images.

Run comprehensive agent-native architecture review with scored principles

Report a bug in the compound-engineering plugin

Build and test iOS apps on simulator using XcodeBuildMCP. Use after making iOS code changes, before creating a PR, or when verifying app behavior and checking for crashes on simulator.

Simplify and refine recently changed code for clarity, reuse, quality, and efficiency while preserving behavior.

Create or maintain STRATEGY.md - the product's target problem, approach, users, key metrics, and tracks of work. Use when starting a new product, updating direction, or when prompts like 'write our strategy', 'update the roadmap', 'what are we working on', or 'set up the strategy doc' come up. Also triggers when ce-ideate, ce-brainstorm, or ce-plan need upstream grounding and no strategy doc exists yet.

Generate a time-windowed pulse report on what users experienced and how the product performed - usage, quality, errors, signals worth investigating. Use when the user says 'run a pulse', 'show me the pulse', 'how are we doing', 'weekly recap', 'launch-day check', or passes a time window like '24h' or '7d'. Configures via .compound-engineering/config.local.yaml and saves reports to docs/pulse-reports/.

Riffrec product-feedback workflow. ALWAYS load when the user posts a `riffrec-*.zip`, a bundle with `session.json` + `events.json` + `recording.webm` + `voice.webm`, a video/audio recording for product feedback, or asks how to capture and share Riffrec sessions. Routes between setup, quick bug report, and extensive analysis.

[BETA] Start the dev server, open the feature in a browser, and iterate on improvements together.

This skill manages Git worktrees for isolated parallel development. It handles creating, listing, switching, and cleaning up worktrees with a simple interactive interface, following KISS principles.

Review requirements or plan documents using parallel persona agents that surface role-specific issues. Use when a requirements document or plan document exists and the user wants to improve it.

This skill should be used when reviewing or editing copy to ensure adherence to Every's style guide. It provides a systematic line-by-line review process for grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and style guide compliance.

Build type-safe LLM applications with DSPy.rb — Ruby's programmatic prompt framework with signatures, modules, agents, and optimization. Use when implementing predictable AI features, creating LLM signatures and modules, configuring language model providers, building agent systems with tools, optimizing prompts, or testing LLM-powered functionality in Ruby applications.
