## Definition

`compound-engineering.local.md` is a local configuration file, created by the Compound Engineering plugin's interactive `/setup` command, in which you configure which agents run during the plugin's **review** and **work** stages. If the file doesn't exist, the plugin uses its creator Kieran Klaassen's defaults; if it does, the plugin automatically detects it and uses it at the right time.
