Aero Agent Roles

The role layer for aerospace engineering agents.

Skills do a task correctly. Roles own the deliverable end to end. Each role binds the verified skills into a certification workflow, with evidence gates at every stage and a human sign-off line that is never crossed.

DOMAIN COVERAGE

The whole discipline, measured.

39 roles across 12 domains, binding 605 skills from Aero Agent Skills. Coverage is not claimed, it is plotted: skills bound against offline tests, domain by domain.

The inner ring is the 12 engineering domains. The outer ring is every role, sized by the skills it binds. The chart is computed from the role tree at HEAD on every change: if a role lands, the arc grows.

Every role

Each role is a contract: the deliverable it produces, the workflow order, the evidence gates, and the boundary where a human signs. Grouped by domain; each name links to its full ROLE.md on GitHub.

Software Product Assurance Engineer (ECSS-Q-ST-80C), run on your own evidence. Ashforde OÜ offers a five-day evidence pilot built on this open role: a clause-by-clause draft compliance matrix, a gap list and a trace to your own files, stopping at your own human sign-off. Pricing on request.

A skill does one task correctly. A role owns the deliverable end to end: it binds the verified skills that belong to the job, orders them into the sequence a working engineer actually follows, and gates every stage on real evidence before the next one starts.

EVIDENCE GATE: PER STAGE
STANDARDS: REFERENCED, NOT COPIED

Skills to roles

Aero Agent Skills is the verified knowledge layer. A role binds the right leaves and orders them into the sequence a working engineer follows.

Verification discipline

Every role ships with offline tests proving its bound skills resolve and its workflow is deterministic. Standards are referenced, never reproduced. Templates are original structure, never copied.

Roles bind skills.

A role does not replace Aero Agent Skills, it consumes it. Skills verify one task. A role binds the right skills into a certification workflow, in order, with evidence gates and a human sign-off. Same repository standard, same gate battery, built to be used together.

AERO AGENT SKILLS

avionics/do178c/planning one task, verified: the workflow, the gates, the pitfalls.
