Init

Set up this project for the Compound V cycle (brainstorm → build, where one builder researches, plans and codes → verify). Probe everything first, then show the user one message with the findings and every proposed change, numbered, and apply only what they approve. With --check, probe and report, and write nothing.

Commands. Run each command as one plain command line with literal values (the run id, real paths): no shell variables you set yourself, no ; or && chains, no $?, and no pipes or redirects (|, >, 2>&1): the one exception is the <<'REQUEST' heredoc that hands run start its request. The sandbox's auto-allow refuses compound commands, and sandbox.excludedCommands only matches a bare call.

1. Probes (write nothing)

Run these and keep the results:

git rev-parse --show-toplevel                                     # a git repo
git rev-parse --verify -q HEAD                                    # with a first commit
python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.version_info >= (3, 9))'      # True
codex --version                                                   # reviewer candidate
npx --no-install playwright --version                             # Playwright Test in this project
claude mcp list                                                   # a playwright or chrome-devtools MCP?
claude plugin list --json                                         # is superpowers@claude-plugins-official enabled?

• No first commit, or not a git repo: stop and say so. The run record pins a base commit, so Compound V cannot run without one.
• Python below 3.9: stop, and name the interpreter found.
• Test command: detect one from package.json (scripts.test → npm test), pyproject.toml / pytest.ini (python3 -m pytest), a Makefile test: target (make test), go.mod (go test ./...) or Cargo.toml (cargo test). With none, propose none, and the plan will set one per run.
• Browser runner: Playwright Test in the project, or a Playwright / Chrome DevTools MCP in claude mcp list. With none, the offer is claude mcp add playwright -- npx @playwright/[email protected] --headless, plus a note that each web plan adds Playwright Test (@playwright/test) as a dev dependency for its live_cmd. Without a browser, a web run ends incomplete unless the user waives the check.
• Codex stop-review gate: the codex plugin keeps a per-project stopReviewGate flag in its state file. With <name> the last part of the repo path and <tmp> the output of python3 -c 'import tempfile; print(tempfile.gettempdir())', check it with grep -ls '"stopReviewGate": *true' ~/.claude/plugins/data/codex-*/state/<name>-*/state.json <tmp>/codex-companion/<name>-*/state.json. A hit means two Stop-time reviewers would both fire (Codex's gate and Compound V's refuse-once Stop hook). Warn, and suggest /codex:setup --disable-review-gate for this project.
• Existing files: read .claude/compound-v.json and .claude/settings.json if they exist. Every write below is a merge into them. Never truncate either file.
