## Definition

**Compound refresh** is the practice of refreshing accumulated knowledge and working context in the Compound Engineering cycle — updating plans, reviews, and captured notes so each iteration builds on prior work instead of restarting from scratch.

In this channel's material, **compound refresh** sits inside the broader **Compound Engineering** methodology — a compounding cycle of planning, work, review, and knowledge capture [^38395538@0]. The term refers to the practice of refreshing accumulated knowledge and context so that each pass through the cycle builds on what came before, rather than starting from scratch.The value of Compound Engineering comes from *accumulating* knowledge instead of burning it. A compound refresh keeps that accumulated context current and usable, so the multi-agent, multi-model workflow stays coherent across sessions. For a fuller picture of the surrounding methodology, explore the Compound Engineering Methodology chapter.- **Compound refresh** = refreshing accumulated context/knowledge within the Compound Engineering cycle.- It supports the method's core goal: knowledge that compounds across planning, work, review, and capture.- It is discussed in the release conversation around Compound Engineering's multi-model workflow [^38395538@0].
