SF Compound Engineering Plugin v3.1.0-beta.3

Instruction-Based Compound Engineering for Salesforce — a multi-platform plugin (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 9 other AI coding tools) where each iteration becomes smarter than the last through institutional knowledge capture and parallel persona dispatch.

V3 is a skills-first architecture. Commands were retired — every entry point is now a skill that auto-routes from natural-language phrases via its description frontmatter, with direct slash invocation (/sf-<name>) still supported. See CHANGELOG.md for the migration guide from v2.x.

The Compound Engineering Loop

  ┌─ HUMAN (taste) ─┐        ┌──────── AI (in the loop) ────────┐        ┌─ HUMAN (taste) ─┐
   Ideate · Brainstorm  →  Plan(40%) · Deepen · Work(20%) · Review · Resolve  →  Polish  →  Compound  →  Repeat

  • Ideate     — decide what's worth building (/sf-ideate)
  • Brainstorm — explore requirements through collaborative dialogue (/sf-brainstorm)
  • Plan       — research & design using 60 skills + parallel research personas (/sf-plan)
  • Deepen     — enhance the plan with section-level parallel research (/sf-deepen)
  • Work       — implement with pre-research + system-wide test checks (/sf-work)
  • Review     — parallel persona dispatch across 60 specialist personas (/sf-review)
  • Polish     — taste pass via /sf-polish: SLDS2/UX, accessibility (WCAG), copy (UI surfaces only)
  • Compound   — capture learnings to docs/solutions/, personas, skills, CLAUDE.md (/sf-compound)

The sandwich. Humans own the two ends — Ideate (what's worth building) and Polish (does it feel right) — the "bread". The AI runs the middle "filling" in the loop. As models get better at execution, human attention concentrates where machines are still weak: taste and judgment.

All nine core entry points (/sf-ideate, /sf-brainstorm, /sf-plan, /sf-deepen, /sf-work, /sf-review, /sf-polish, /sf-compound, /sf-lfg) are skills in V3 — they auto-route from natural-language phrases via their description frontmatter, and direct slash invocation continues to work.

Above the loop, /sf-strategy maintains an optional repo-root STRATEGY.md (target problem, approach, users, key metrics, tracks) that sf-ideate, sf-brainstorm, and sf-plan read as grounding when it exists.

Each iteration starts smarter because learnings compound into docs/solutions/, personas, skills, and CLAUDE.md.

Principles. This plugin is opinionated. Seven principles — preserve the quality ceiling, verifiability, stay in the loop, the spec is the artifact, taste over typing, agent-native docs, outsource thinking not understanding — govern every skill and every review. See PRINCIPLES.md. Each core workflow skill declares which principles it enforces.
