Compound Discovery Craft FAQs

Question 1

How does it differ from the /compound:reflect command?

Accepted Answer

While reflection tools focus on improving existing plugins and fixing friction, Discovery Craft focuses on creating entirely new components by extracting previously unformalized workflows.

Question 2

What types of components can this skill help me design?

Accepted Answer

It helps you decide between and specify four main types: Skills (knowledge-based), Commands (user-initiated actions), Agents (autonomous tasks), and Hooks (event-driven automation).

Question 3

When is the best time to use the /compound:discover command?

Accepted Answer

Invoke it when you realize you have performed a multi-step task more than once, when a workflow feels tedious, or when you want to modularize complex domain knowledge for future use.

Question 4

Does it automatically create the files for the new plugin?

Accepted Answer

It generates high-quality, implementation-ready specifications and documentation. These blueprints are then used by the developer or Claude Code to generate the final code and directory structure.

Question 5

What is the main purpose of the Compound Discovery Craft skill?

Accepted Answer

It is designed to analyze your current work session to find repeatable patterns and provide a structured specification for turning those patterns into modular Claude Code components like skills or commands.
