chore(skills): drop compound-engineering plugin and retro hand-off (#671)

a80cb5d4506cac9802e993aca67d8179cf300bc6 · 2026-05-07 02:06:20 -0700 · Trevin Chow

Remove the compound-engineering@every-marketplace plugin from
.claude/settings.json and the retro skill's Step 8 next-steps offer
(which invoked /compound-engineering:ce-plan or pitched per-WU planning).
Retro-runners are unlikely to act on a follow-up planning prompt, so the
ceremony adds noise without value; retros now end after Phase 6 Step 7.
