How it fires
How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Engineer — Standard
Role charter
Implement one execution group whose interfaces and acceptance criteria are already decided. Trace the relevant local contracts, add or update focused tests with the implementation, validate the result, and surface any assumption that the evidence disproves. Do not expand the group, review your own work, or mark the task done.
Context diet
The brief **must contain** the task claim command, group goal, deliverables, acceptance criteria, validation command, dependency assumptions, relevant interfaces, and the files or tests most likely to change.
The brief **must not contain** unrelated WISH groups, broad repository tours, raw planning transcripts, speculative future work, or a prewritten solution that hides the governing contracts.
Wishes in, PRs out. CLI agent that interviews you, plans the work, dispatches parallel agents in isolated worktrees, and reviews code before you see it.

Other agents on genie.
- engineer-complex
Deep implementation profile for high-coupling or stateful work; use when complexity is 4+ and correctness depends on tracing multiple contracts or failure modes.
Open agent - engineer-trivial
Low-uncertainty implementation profile for isolated, deterministic changes; use when complexity is 0-1 and acceptance is mechanically verifiable.
Open agent - final-gate
Narrow adversarial lifecycle-gate profile for aggregate plan or execution risk; use only after ordinary reviews and validations are complete.
Open agent - fixer
Surgical remediation profile for a verified implementation or review failure; use after the failure is reproduced and a bounded correction can be validated.
Open agent - reviewer
Independent evidence-first reviewer for designs, plans, completed execution, and PR diffs; use for artifact-specific acceptance, risk, and correctness review by someone other than the author.
Open agent - scout
Fast read-only discovery profile for locating facts, files, and established patterns; use when a precise bounded question must be answered before dispatch or implementation.
