From 5da99eb926f983626af9bec2512c131f24b9fe4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Bishop Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 16:39:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] feat(software-engineer): realign agent to canonical Software Engineer role (1.0.0) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Rewrites the bitwarden-software-engineer agent definition around Bitwarden's canonical Software Engineer role on the Engineering Career Ladder, mirroring the recent realignment of bitwarden-tech-lead. - Description now opens with the three role dimensions from the Confluence "Software Engineer" page (Engineering Excellence, Delivery & Impact, Leadership & Communication) and adds four `` blocks (story implementation, PR review, surfacing ambiguity, commit/PR prep) so the orchestrator can route on concrete triggering scenarios. - Body intro grounds the agent in the role's actual responsibilities and explicitly disclaims tech-lead / architect / EM scope. - New Cross-Plugin Integration section listing the delivery-lifecycle skills (committing-changes, creating-pull-request, perform-preflight, labeling-changes) and researching-jira-issues the engineer role exercises daily. - Renames agents/bitwarden-software-engineer.md → agents/AGENT.md to match the convention used by tech-lead and shepherd plugins; plugin.json's agents field switches to the string form ./agents/AGENT.md. - Plugin and marketplace descriptions, plus the marketplace README catalog row, rewritten to match the new framing.
