ce:compound-refresh

ce:compound-refresh is a skill for Claude Code from Jerrylalala/compound-engineering. It costs 37 tokens per session (9,895 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ce:compound-refresh, MIT.

A workflow for reviewing experience documents in a project's docs/solutions/ folder. It checks whether those documents are outdated, duplicated, or no longer match the codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to keep solution documents, references, and derived patterns up to date. In automatic-fix mode, it applies clear updates, merges duplicates, removes suitable documents, and marks unclear cases as stale.
Why use it?
Old or repeated guidance can mislead developers and make project knowledge harder to maintain. This workflow helps keep documented solutions aligned with the current code.

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

ce:compound-refresh 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 5d ago.

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 — 681 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Compound Refresh

Maintain the quality of docs/solutions/ over time. This workflow reviews existing learnings against the current codebase, then refreshes any derived pattern docs that depend on them.

Mode Detection

Check if $ARGUMENTS contains mode:autofix. If present, strip it from arguments (use the remainder as a scope hint) and run in autofix mode.

Mode When Behavior
Interactive (default) User is present and can answer questions Ask for decisions on ambiguous cases, confirm actions
Autofix mode:autofix in arguments No user interaction. Apply all unambiguous actions (Keep, Update, Consolidate, auto-Delete, Replace with sufficient evidence). Mark ambiguous cases as stale. Generate a summary report at the end.

Autofix mode rules

  • Skip all user questions. Never pause for input.
  • Process all docs in scope. No scope narrowing questions — if no scope hint was provided, process everything.
  • Attempt all safe actions: Keep (no-op), Update (fix references), Consolidate (merge and delete subsumed doc), auto-Delete (unambiguous criteria met), Replace (when evidence is sufficient). If a write succeeds, record it as applied. If a write fails (e.g., permission denied), record the action as recommended in the report and continue — do not stop or ask for permissions.
  • Mark as stale when uncertain. If classification is genuinely ambiguous (Update vs Replace vs Consolidate vs Delete) or Replace evidence is insufficient, mark as stale with status: stale, stale_reason, and stale_date in the frontmatter. If even the stale-marking write fails, include it as a recommendation.
  • Use conservative confidence. In interactive mode, borderline cases get a user question. In autofix mode, borderline cases get marked stale. Err toward stale-marking over incorrect action.
  • Always generate a report. The report is the primary deliverable. It has two sections: Applied (actions that were successfully written) and Recommended (actions that could not be written, with full rationale so a human can apply them or run the skill interactively). The report structure is the same regardless of what permissions were granted — the only difference is which section each action lands in.

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.
