compound

compound is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from infohata/mind-vault. It costs 85 tokens per session (6,268 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow step that records a solved problem or useful lesson in the appropriate project documentation or shared knowledge store. It can also process findings from automated code reviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after fixing a meaningful bug, completing a review loop, or when asked to document or promote a lesson; it routes the result to the suitable knowledge location.
Why use it?
It prevents non-obvious or recurring solutions from being forgotten and makes them available for future work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

compound scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 227 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

compound

Fifth and final stage of the five-stage sprint workflow (idea → brainstorm/plan → work → review → compound). The novel piece of the workflow and its entire point: every solved problem becomes a candidate for promotion into mind-vault, compounding the knowledge store so the next project (or the next sprint on the same project) starts with a higher floor.

CE's compound writes project-local only. Mind-vault's compound routes to six destinations because mind-vault is the cross-project knowledge store — the routing surface is the whole value.

This skill never commits to main and never merges a PR. It stages, commits to feature branches, pushes, and maintains open PRs per RULE_git-safety.

When to use

TRIGGER when:

  • user says "compound this", "let's capture what we learned", "document this fix", "promote this to mind-vault", "write this up", "save this learning"
  • a review loop (/review-loop) just cleared findings and there's a non-trivial lesson worth preserving — the review output file is a first-class input source (see references/review-finding-ingest.md)
  • a bug was just fixed and the root cause is non-obvious / recurring / cross-project
  • a pattern that kept coming up across multiple tasks finally got named

SKIP when:

  • the fix is trivial and the "lesson" is just "I wrote the code" — nothing to compound
  • you're mid-implementation (this is a post-incident skill, not a learning ledger)
  • the user wants to capture a new improvement idea — that's /idea, not /compound

Pattern

1. Collect the raw learning

Accept input in this order of preference:

  1. Explicit prompt content in the skill invocation (/compound the HMAC flat-payload trap).
  2. Review-loop output file at <project>/.bugbot-loop/<run-id>/findings.md or <project>/.copilot-loop/<run-id>/findings.md (or wherever the loop writes its artifact) when recent. See references/review-finding-ingest.md for parsing rules — each cleared finding becomes a candidate compound entry. Engine-agnostic: same parsing rules apply to either bot's output.
  3. PR comment thread when the user points at one (/compound pr:123#comment-456).
  4. Interactive prompt when nothing is supplied: "What did you learn? Give me the one-sentence essence first, then we'll expand."

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

compound is a skill published in the GitHub repository infohata/mind-vault (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 6,268 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
