* Add Software Engineering Team collection with 7 specialized agents
Adds a complete Software Engineering Team collection with 7 standalone
agents covering the full development lifecycle, based on learnings from
The AI-Native Engineering Flow experiments.
New Agents (all prefixed with 'se-' for collection identification):
- se-ux-ui-designer: Jobs-to-be-Done analysis, user journey mapping,
and Figma-ready UX research artifacts
- se-technical-writer: Creates technical documentation, blogs, and tutorials
- se-gitops-ci-specialist: CI/CD pipeline debugging and GitOps workflows
- se-product-manager-advisor: GitHub issue creation and product guidance
- se-responsible-ai-code: Bias testing, accessibility, and ethical AI
- se-system-architecture-reviewer: Architecture reviews with Well-Architected
- se-security-reviewer: OWASP Top 10/LLM/ML security and Zero Trust
Key Features:
- Each agent is completely standalone (no cross-dependencies)
- Concise display names for GitHub Copilot dropdown ("SE: [Role]")
- Fills gaps in awesome-copilot (UX design, content creation, CI/CD debugging)
- Enterprise patterns: OWASP, Zero Trust, WCAG, Well-Architected Framework
Collection manifest, auto-generated docs, and all agents follow
awesome-copilot conventions.
