## Definition

_Quality signal_ is a concept used in this channel's material on **Compound Engineering**, appearing as a labeled idea within the Compound Engineering Methodology topic and its sessions.

In this channel's captured material, **_quality signal_** appears as a labeled concept carried within the **Compound Engineering Methodology** topic, including the session *Experiments with Kieran, OpenAI Live Voice inside Compound Engineering*. In that session, Kieran runs an exploration: adding **OpenAI's live voice API** to Compound Engineering's polish workflow, so you can talk to your app while it is running while coding agents fix things in the background. The session walks through the idea behind the experiment, the design questions it surfaces, and how the brainstorm-to-plan-to-build loop actually ran on stream._Quality signal_ sits inside the broader compounding cycle of **planning, work, review, and knowledge capture** — the loop that organizes multi-agent, multi-model AI workflows in Compound Engineering. Treat it as one of the concepts this methodology chapter and its sessions explore, and use the linked topic to understand it in context rather than as a standalone spec.- _Quality signal_ is presented as a concept within the **Compound Engineering Methodology** topic.- It surfaces in the live-voice experiment session, where the polish workflow connects conversation in a running app to background agent fixes.- Understand it in the context of the compounding plan-work-review cycle rather than in isolation.
