CE7 Software Engineering Agent

English | Tiếng Việt

A principal-level engineering agent for enterprise and regulated systems (banking, insurance, payments, claims, billing). Routes work to focused pack skills and progressive-disclosure references; never duplicates pack content in the agent.

What you get

• 1 router agent — agents/ce7-software-engineering.agent.md (~110 lines, table-driven).
• 8 pack skills — concrete Use when triggers, distinct When NOT to Use boundaries, explicit cross-pack handoffs.
• 36 reference playbooks — loaded only when a task needs them.
• 3 output-shape examples — architecture, debugging, review.
• Eval harness — routing, anti-pattern, token-budget, banking/insurance benchmarks + scoring rubric.
• Copilot-first deployment via .github/copilot-instructions.md + .github/skills/.

Quick start

# 1. Install (pick one mode — see docs/INSTALL.md)
cp -R .github/skills/                  ~/.copilot/skills/   # global
# OR open this folder in your IDE; Copilot reads .github/ automatically

# 2. Validate
python3 scripts/validate_hybrid_packs.py

# 3. Try a prompt
# "Act as the CE7 Software Engineering Agent. Design idempotent payment retries
#  with reconciliation and audit for a multi-tenant banking flow."

Quality gates (CI-enforceable)

python3 scripts/validate_hybrid_packs.py enforces:

• 8 peer pack skills (skills/<pack>/SKILL.md).
• 36 leaf references (skills/<pack>/references/*.md).
• Pack frontmatter description starts with 'Use when'.
• Pack SKILL.md ≤ 100 lines.
• Routing benchmark uses only known pack names.
• Banking/insurance benchmark = exactly 10 rows; required domains present.
• Required evaluation workflow artifacts exist.

Add CHECK_GITHUB_MIRROR=1 to also validate the .github/ mirror.

Status

• Layout: 8 packs / 39 references / 2 agents / 3 examples / 4 eval files.
• Last review: reports/CE7-AGENT-SYSTEM-REVIEW-2026-04-28.md.

Contributing

Read AGENTS.md first. The short version: keep packs ≤ 100 lines, keep the agent table-driven, prefer adding a reference over adding a pack, and always update evals/ when you change routing.
