What's new
Features
The ce:brainstorm and ce:plan skills have been updated with the strongest improvements from the upstream Compound Engineering plugin, adapted to Systematic's conventions and kept markdown-only throughout.
ce:brainstorm gains a Phase 2.5 Synthesis Summary — a scope checkpoint that fires before the requirements doc is written. This lets scope be confirmed or corrected before research is spent, and pairs cleanly with the existing Phase 3.5 Document Review: Phase 2.5 is the scope gate (before writing), Phase 3.5 is the quality review (after writing), with no overlap between them. The skill also picks up markdown rendering guidance (markdown-rendering.md) and a section-rendering layer (brainstorm-sections.md) that govern how output is structured without changing the content contracts.
ce:plan gains three focused additions. Anti-Expansion (step 3.7) routes tangential "while we're here" work to a Deferred section instead of letting it bloat active plan units — keeping plans scoped to what was actually decided. Scope synthesis adds two mutually exclusive paths at plan stage: a solo-mode path when there is no origin document and a brainstorm-sourced path when one exists. The same markdown rendering and section-rendering layer from ce:brainstorm is applied here as well, giving both skills a consistent presentation layer.
The Phase 3.5 Document Review, requirements-capture and Core Plan Template content contracts, and visual-communication guidance are preserved unchanged. A pre-existing dangling visual-communication.md reference in ce:brainstorm was also resolved, and slash-command residue in skill prose was cleaned up so references use the portable ce:work form. The registry was regenerated after the merge. (#486, 3b9d0e6)
