Judgement
Detailed but abstract orchestration method: many untestable process rules, missing dependencies (ce-pov, ce-plan…), candidates.md annex truncated. Few concrete commands or examples for Claude Code.
reservations
- Depends on skills not provided (ce-pov, ce-plan, ce-brainstorm, ce-ideate, ce-optimize, ce-prototype): the judge cannot be run as is outside the compound-engineering ecosystem.
- The references/candidates.md annex is truncated (5000 characters out of 5106); the end of the completion rule is lost.
- Many process rules (budget, deadlines, reminder cycles, oracle panel) hard to verify; few concrete execution examples.
- Refers to a configuration file specific to the ecosystem (.compound-engineering/config.yaml) and to a job framework called "peer-job" that is not described.

- high risk
Sends the brief, source material and read paths to third-party model CLIs (other model families) for candidates and the judge; the skill requires naming the recipient but does not limit the content sent (risk of leaking code or secrets).
Original description
Develop independent competing solutions to a defined brief, compare them, and synthesize a winning approach. Use when choosing well requires developing alternatives beyond their current form. Use ce-pov to judge developed material and ce-ideate to discover opportunities.
