## Definition

A packaged set of prompts, flows, and sub agents for **Compound Engineering** — a software-building method where every piece of work makes the next piece easier — made available as a plug-in for Claude.

**_Compound engineering plug-in_** is the packaged version of the **Compound Engineering** method: the prompts, flows, and sub agents the creator explored while building Kora, an email assistant built with AI, bundled up and shipped when Anthropic released plug-ins for Claude[^08532e97@0]. The plug-in is the practical entry point — a companion to the creator's guide, which covers the philosophy behind the method and the plug-in's commands[^08532e97@0].The material is explicit that the plug-in should not be explored blind: understanding *why* the method works is what makes the plug-in usable[^08532e97@0]. The guide exists to answer exactly that — questions like _how do I explore this?_ and _what is the philosophy?_ — and you can read it with Claude, copy it for your agent, or go straight to the plug-in itself[^08532e97@0].- The plug-in packages the Compound Engineering method for use with Claude. - It was created from prompts, flows, and sub agents built while making Kora. - It pairs with a guide covering the philosophy and the plug-in's commands. - The material treats understanding the philosophy as a prerequisite to using the plug-in well.
