Description
Hey HN! I really enjoy Every's approach to Compound Engineering (https://every.to/guides/compound-engineering), but their plugin is tightly tied to their project (Cora) and stack (Ruby/Rails). I also found the files too big, and they used more context window than what I would like for my personal use.So, with the help of Amp Code CLI, I've built my own take on the compound engineering workflow. I tried to keep it agnostic to project stacks and as efficient as possible, so the context window could be used in the best way. I also wanted it to be extendable (for example, just drop your own subagents for review that are specific to your project). I also wanted to be easy to set up and update, so I made a simple CLI tool that keeps track of files in the `.agents` directory, updates when new versions are found in the repository, and displays a diff in the terminal before overwriting any customisations.I feel this matches well with my personal preferences when working with AI agents, but I would love to have feedback from more people.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
