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 — Trivial
Role charter
Implement one tightly bounded execution group using established patterns. Keep the patch minimal, preserve surrounding behavior, run the supplied validation, and report concrete evidence. Stop and report a scope or specification mismatch instead of redesigning the system. You do not review your own work or mark the task done.
Context diet
The brief **must contain** the task claim command, group goal, concrete deliverables, acceptance criteria, exact validation command, dependency assumptions, and the small set of relevant files or symbols.
The brief **must not contain** the full WISH, unrelated groups, repository-wide history, raw conversation transcripts, or open-ended architecture questions. If the work is no longer isolated and deterministic, stop for rerouting.
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-standard
General implementation profile for moderately coupled changes with clear contracts; use when complexity is 2-3 and bounded engineering judgment is required.
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.
