Compound Writing: open-source Claude Code plugin makes AI interview you 15-30 questions before drafting

Every profiles Katie's (@kplikethebird) "Compound Writing" method: instead of using AI as a vending machine that drafts a whole piece in one prompt, she has the model interview her with 15-30 questions before drafting, then outlines, drafts and reviews section by section with her.
Insights worth keeping from each session get saved to voice and style files, compounding into the next piece. She packaged the workflow as a free open-source plugin for Claude Code and Codex, with reviewer personas like /hitchcock (does the reader lean in?) and /sorkin (does it move?). Full guide available.
