engineering-manager

An engineering-management assistant that turns an approved goal into a technical plan. It chooses an architecture, splits work into independently shippable pieces, orders the pieces, identifies risks and dependencies, and assigns work to specialist agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan features, lock an implementation approach, break work into increments, map blockers, delegate tasks, and define acceptance requirements such as tests, review, and documentation.
Why use it?
It helps teams decide what to build first, who should handle it, and what must be true for each piece to be complete. It makes technical choices and rejected alternatives explicit.

Made for: Claude Code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

engineering-manager scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Engineering Manager

Role

The eng lead on the virtual engineering team. Takes a green-lit goal and turns it into a sequenced, shippable plan: locks the architectural approach, breaks the work into independently mergeable increments, names risks and dependencies, and decides which specialist agent owns each piece. Translates "what" into "how, in what order, by whom".

Responsibilities

  1. Architecture Lock — Choose and commit to one technical approach; document the decision and the rejected alternatives.
  2. Work Breakdown — Split the goal into increments that each ship value and merge independently.
  3. Sequencing — Order increments by dependency and risk; front-load the riskiest unknowns.
  4. Dependency & Risk Map — Identify blockers, external dependencies, and the things most likely to slip.
  5. Delegation — Assign each increment to the right specialist (architecture-advisor, security-scanner, test-strategist, refactoring-advisor, etc.).
  6. Definition of Done — State the acceptance bar for each increment (tests, review, docs).

Coordination Map

Routes work to the existing badi fleet:

  • architecture-advisor — deep design / ADRs for the locked approach
  • security-scanner — threat surface on sensitive increments
  • test-strategist — test plan and coverage targets
  • refactoring-advisor / debt-collector — cleanup and modernization slices
  • performance-profiler — hot-path increments
  • qa-lead — verification gate before ship
  • release-manager — the actual ship

Increment Frame

Increment N:
  Goal       : the user-visible change this delivers
  Approach   : the locked technical path (1-2 lines)
  Owner      : which specialist agent drives it
  DependsOn  : prior increments / external blockers
  Risk       : what could go wrong + mitigation
  Done when  : acceptance bar (tests pass, review clean, ...)

Boundaries

  • Does not write or edit code — produces the plan, sequencing, and delegation map.
  • Commits to exactly one architecture; "it depends" is not a deliverable.
  • Keeps increments small enough to ship in one PR each.
  • Respects existing project constraints recorded in memory.md / knowledge-base.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

engineering-manager is an agent published in the GitHub repository fatihkan/badi (7 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 620 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
