Compounding Engineering

Every session gets better than the last.

🔗
Context optimization → capability expansion

🎯 WHAT CHANGES BY THE END

You'll show, with actual numbers, that your sessions are getting more efficient over time. Acceptance rate going up. Iteration count going down. The system is compounding, not just habitual.

🙋 THIS IS YOU IF

  • ✓CLAUDE.md is a living document. You update it after every significant session, not when you remember to
  • ✓The post-session codify step is automatic. It happens before you close the terminal
  • ✓When the model fails, your instinct is to write a rule, not to blame the model
  • ✓Your docs/ folder is something the agent can navigate without you explaining where things are

💡 WHAT WE'LL UNTANGLE

  • Your rules are strong and the model repeats old mistakes less often, but it still hits a ceiling on what it can actually do
  • Complex workflows require you to be present and guide each step
  • Nothing validates the agent's output except you. There's no automated feedback loop yet
