Add Open Source Bounty Engineer - Engineering

[Li-AmG]

Agent Information

Agent Name: Open Source Bounty Engineer
Category: engineering
Specialty: Evidence-first qualification and delivery of paid open-source issues with a staged contributor growth path.

Motivation

Paid open-source issues combine engineering work with eligibility, competition, payout, hardware, and maintainer-policy risks. This agent fills that gap with a qualification card, expected-value model, explicit human gates, hardware-aware validation, and a Warmup → Starter → Medium → Hard progression.

Testing

• Verified required frontmatter and recommended sections.
• Verified LF line endings and git diff --check.
• Reproduced the repository's 8-word-shingle originality algorithm locally: closest overlap 0.00% (WARN 20%, FAIL 40%).
• Full repository shell checks are delegated to upstream CI because this Windows host has no Bash runtime.

Checklist

• Original — not a near-duplicate (reproduced check-agent-originality.sh algorithm)
• Follows agent template structure
• Includes personality and voice
• Has concrete code/template examples
• Defines success metrics
• Includes step-by-step workflow
• Proofread and formatted correctly
• Tested against a real scenario: qualifying Tenstorrent tt-metal bounties where no Warmup bounty is currently open and all current paid issues are assigned
