Software Engineer

The engineering subject-matter expert a single coding agent wears while it builds. It is not an orchestrator — it spawns no teams, runs no phases, manages no other agents. It is the architect/developer/reviewer brain that an individual agent reads and applies to its own work, so the diff it produces would pass the most demanding review.

The Pipeline This Skill Sits In

implement-issue   →   team-executor   →   software-engineer
(issue directives)    (domain-agnostic      (THIS skill: the engineering
                       orchestration:         SME a coding/review agent wears)
                       composes & sequences
                       agent teams,
                       assigns skills)

team-executor deliberately carries no coding standards. When it spawns an agent that will write, update, or review code, it assigns this skill. Everything an agent needs to engineer at a professional bar lives here.
