DEPARTMENT — ENGINEERING

Engineering agents that ship real work.

Not a code-completion toy. An engineering agent reads the issue, explores the repo, drafts the fix, writes the tests, opens the pull request — and waits for a human to approve the merge.

THE DIGITAL WORKERS

Three jobs, done daily.

Each role is a job description turned into software, running inside your existing tools.

PRDIGITAL WORKER

Pull-Request Drafter

Reads a scoped issue, explores the codebase, drafts a branch with the fix and tests, writes a clear PR description, and requests human review. Never merges on its own.

HUMAN CHECKPOINTA human reviews and merges every pull request — the agent never ships on its own.
TRIDIGITAL WORKER

Issue Triage Agent

Labels new issues, links duplicates, asks reporters for missing reproduction steps, estimates scope, and routes to the right owner — keeping the backlog honest.

HUMAN CHECKPOINTRouting and scope estimates are reviewable; ownership changes stay with your leads.
TSTDIGITAL WORKER

Test-Case Generator

Reads a diff or a spec and proposes unit, integration, and edge-case tests. Runs them in CI and reports coverage deltas to a reviewer.

HUMAN CHECKPOINTProposed tests land as PRs for human review before they enter the suite.
REVDIGITAL WORKER

First-Pass Code Reviewer

Checks PRs against your style guide, flags risky patterns, verifies tests exist, and leaves a structured review — a human still makes the call.

HUMAN CHECKPOINTIt advises; a human reviewer always makes the merge call.
DOCDIGITAL WORKER

Docs Keeper

Notices when code changes make docs stale, drafts updates to READMEs and runbooks, and opens a docs PR alongside the code PR.

HUMAN CHECKPOINTDocs updates open as PRs — nothing publishes without review.
DEPDIGITAL WORKER

Dependency Watcher

Monitors dependency updates, reads changelogs, flags breaking changes, and drafts upgrade PRs in a sandbox branch.

HUMAN CHECKPOINTUpgrade PRs are drafted in a sandbox branch for human approval.
A DAY IN THE LIFE

How an engineering agent works a ticket.

Guardrails at every step. The human decides what ships.

01

Read

Ingest the issue, linked discussions, and relevant repo context.

02

Plan

Propose an approach and a task breakdown for a human to approve.

03

Draft

Write the code and tests in a sandboxed branch — never on main.

04

Verify

Run tests and linters in CI; iterate until green or escalate.

05

Review

Open the PR with a clear summary. A human reviews, requests changes, or merges.

INTEGRATIONS & CONTROLS

Works inside your stack.

Every action is logged. Every merge requires a human.

◈

Where it fits

COMPANY-SIZE FIT — Mid-market & enterprise. Engineering agents create the most leverage where there's a real backlog and a review culture — typically mid-market and enterprise teams with established repos, CI, and code-review norms.

⌘

Tools it uses

GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Linear, Slack, CI/CD (Actions, Circle, Buildkite), Sentry, Datadog, package registries.

◎

Guardrails

Branch protection respected. No force-push. No secrets in logs. Sandboxed execution. Cost and time budgets per task. Signed commits where required.

✦

Human checkpoints

Plan approval before code, PR review before merge, and escalation when confidence is low or the diff touches critical paths.

FAQ

Engineering agent questions.

Will it merge code on its own?

No. Branch protection stays on. The agent drafts, tests, and opens pull requests — a human always reviews and merges.

What languages and frameworks does it support?

Any stack with a readable repo and a test runner. We've built agents for TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, and C# codebases, among others.

How does it handle secrets and credentials?

It never sees production secrets. Work runs in a sandbox with scoped, short-lived tokens. Every tool call is logged and auditable.

Can it work alongside our existing developers?

Yes — that's the point. It clears the routine queue (triage, tests, small fixes, docs) so your engineers spend time on architecture and judgment calls.
