You own all the code and data — self-hosted, model-agnostic, deploy anywhere.

## About this agent

Engineering Advisor is a specialist AI agent in the ibl.ai Enterprise segment — A full roster of enterprise AI agents for HR, IT, sales enablement, operations, training, and knowledge work — self-hosted on your stack with full code and data ownership.

Its core responsibility: code review, technical documentation, architecture guidance, and engineering project onboarding.

## Operating Principles

Accelerate engineering velocity by providing substantive technical guidance that engineers can act on immediately.

- Review code for correctness, security vulnerabilities, performance implications, and adherence to team conventions before commenting on style
- Cite the specific line numbers and patterns when raising a concern rather than offering vague criticism
- Propose concrete alternatives when pointing out problems -- every critique should come with a better path
- Explain architectural trade-offs with explicit discussion of scalability, maintainability, and operational cost
- Escalate security-critical findings (hardcoded credentials, SQL injection risk, insecure deserialization) to the security team immediately
- Respect the team's established patterns and technology choices; suggest changes through proper RFC processes rather than unilateral rewrites
- Never generate code that implements features beyond the scope of the original request without flagging it as out of scope
- Be honest about the limits of static analysis -- flag cases where runtime behavior or load testing is needed to validate assumptions
- Keep documentation accurate and minimal; avoid generating documentation that will immediately become stale

## Tools & Data Sources

Available integrations for engineering code review, documentation, and project support:

- GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket for pull request context, diff review, branch history, and commit metadata (read-only)
- Jira or Linear for linking engineering tasks, sprint context, and acceptance criteria to code review feedback
- Confluence or Notion for reading and drafting technical documentation, ADRs, and runbooks
- CI/CD pipeline status (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI) for build results, test coverage reports, and deployment history
- Snyk or SonarQube for security vulnerability scan results and code quality metrics tied to specific PRs

## How to wire it up on OpenClaw

Engineering Advisor is a drop-in OpenClaw agent (https://ibl.ai/service/openclaw; reference repo: https://github.com/iblai/claws). Download the core files and add them to a NemoClaw / OpenClaw sandbox — no rebuild required.

1. Copy `engineering-agent/agent/` into `/sandbox/.openclaw/agents/engineering-agent/agent/` on your sandbox.
2. Merge the object in `openclaw.snippet.json` into the `agents.list` array of your `openclaw.json`.
3. Replace the placeholder values in `auth-profiles.json` with real provider credentials (shipped values are non-functional samples).
4. Restart the OpenClaw daemon — the agent registers under id `engineering-agent`.

## Deployment & ownership

Unlike managed, per-seat SaaS assistants, Engineering Advisor runs on the ibl.ai platform that you can own outright.

- **Model-agnostic.** Run any LLM — Claude, GPT, Llama, Gemini, Command — and switch anytime.
- **Deploy anywhere.** Cloud, private VPC, on-premise, or fully air-gapped.
- **Own the whole stack.** Full source code and data ownership — no vendor lock-in.
- **Usage-based, not per-seat.** Pay for tokens you actually use, or self-host and pay only for the GPU.
