compound-engineering
Compound Engineering is a framework and set of practices for integrating AI agents into your software development lifecycle. It goes beyond “AI writes code” — it’s about structuring your entire engineering process to compound the value AI brings.
The Compound Engineering Model
Rather than treating AI as a one-shot code generator, compound engineering establishes feedback loops where AI agents:
- Plan — break down work into atomic, reviewable units
- Implement — generate code with full project context
- Review — self-check against specs and patterns
- Iterate — learn from feedback and refine
Key Features
- Agent orchestration — coordinate multiple AI agents on a single codebase
- Context management — maintain project knowledge across sessions
- Quality gates — automated checks before code reaches humans
- Pattern library — reusable engineering patterns for common tasks
