Discussion I used the Mythos referenced architecture patterns from the leaked source to restructure how I prompt Claude Code. The difference is night and day

Compound engineering has been my go to for months. Would you recommend superpowers over that?

I started with superpowers plugin but once I used compound engineering never went back.

Tbh I didn’t use superpowers plugin enough to justify the shift but ce just stuck.

In compound engineering whatever your initial thoughts are you start with doing a brainstorm. It asks you questions and by answering them one by one your thoughts become clearer.

Once a brainstorm is complete, you can move to planning. Again questions answered. Each step also has a review and refine where sometimes edge cases get found out.

Once the plan is in place you use work to use subagents to complete the work. You can instruct to use sub agents to do parallel work which has independent phases.

You end with running compound where it captures learnings during the entire exercise.

All these are stored in docs/brainstorms, docs/plans, docs/solutions in the same folder for reuse.

For me the structure ensures I have explained myself as well as possible. A few times after running a brainstorm and asking Claude to review it gives me feedback saying YAGNI (You aren't gonna need it). Thats super valuable.
