Kieran Klaassen 4b0f058f2c refactor: Reduce core to 4 commands, extract workflow-automation and plugin-dev plugins
Based on PR feedback that 14 commands in core was too many:

- **compound-engineering-core** (14 agents, 4 commands, 5 skills)
  - Only 4 workflow commands: /workflows:plan, /workflows:review, /workflows:work, /workflows:compound
  - All code review agents stay in core (referenced by /workflows:review)

- **workflow-automation** (3 agents, 7 commands, 1 skill) - NEW
  - /resolve_pr_parallel, /plan_review, /resolve_parallel, /resolve_todo_parallel
  - /reproduce-bug, /triage, /changelog
  - bug-reproduction-validator, pr-comment-resolver, every-style-editor agents

- **plugin-dev** (3 commands, 2 skills) - NEW
  - /generate_command, /heal-skill, /create-agent-skill
  - skill-creator, create-agent-skills skills

All READMEs updated with "Works Best With" philosophy emphasizing that
core provides the foundation but real power comes from combining plugins.

Workflow: Add a Template to a Skill

<required_reading> Read these reference files NOW:

  1. references/using-templates.md </required_reading>
## Step 1: Identify the Skill

Ask (if not already provided):

  • Which skill needs a template?
  • What output does this template structure?

Step 2: Analyze Template Need

Confirm this is a good template candidate:

  • Output has consistent structure across uses
  • Structure matters more than creative generation
  • Filling placeholders is more reliable than blank-page generation

If not a good fit, suggest alternatives (workflow guidance, reference examples).

Step 3: Create Templates Directory

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/{skill-name}/templates

Step 4: Design Template Structure

Gather requirements:

  • What sections does the output need?
  • What information varies between uses? (→ placeholders)
  • What stays constant? (→ static structure)

Step 5: Write Template File

Create templates/{template-name}.md with:

  • Clear section markers
  • {{PLACEHOLDER}} syntax for variable content
  • Brief inline guidance where helpful
  • Minimal example content

Step 6: Update Workflow to Use Template

Find the workflow that produces this output. Add:

<process>
...
N. Read `templates/{template-name}.md`
N+1. Copy template structure
N+2. Fill each placeholder based on gathered context
...
</process>

Step 7: Test

Invoke the skill workflow and verify:

  • Template is read at the right step
  • All placeholders get filled appropriately
  • Output structure matches template
  • No placeholders left unfilled

<success_criteria> Template is complete when:

  • templates/ directory exists
  • Template file has clear structure with placeholders
  • At least one workflow references the template
  • Workflow instructions explain when/how to use template
  • Tested with real invocation </success_criteria>
