Every's plan, build, review loop that writes down what it learns for the next job.

View source What is it?
Every, the company behind the Every newsletter, built this from how its own team codes with AI. The loop has six steps: /ce-brainstorm to agree the requirements, /ce-plan, /ce-work to build, /ce-simplify-code, /ce-code-review, then /ce-compound to write down what was learned.
That last step is the point. Lessons go into a folder in your project, and the next brainstorm and plan read them first, so a mistake made once isn't made again. Once a plan is agreed, /lfg runs the rest of the loop hands-off, from building through review, browser tests and committing.
There are 37 skills in all, which is a lot to learn. Start with the six-step loop and add the rest as you need them.
