IEEE Agent Skills Library

Twenty-six executable agent skills covering the IEEE and ISO standards that govern serious software delivery — composable into any project repo via a single git submodule.

Challenge

Most "AI for software engineering" tooling is prompt-engineering folk wisdom dressed up as methodology. There is no shared, executable representation of the IEEE and ISO standards that govern how serious software gets built. Every team reinvents requirements quality checks, V&V planning, and configuration management — usually badly.

Worse: agents asked to follow these standards generally don't, because the standards aren't in their prompt budget and they have never been "trained" on them in any deployable sense. The result is AI work that passes the "looks plausible" test and fails the "would survive an audit" test.

Approach

A modular Claude Code skill library — one skill per IEEE or ISO standard — that any project repo can consume via a single git submodule add. Each skill is structured as Claude Code expects: a SKILL.md frontmatter defining when to trigger, reference materials (worked examples, templates, checklists), and an inter-agent handoff contract so the output of one skill is the structured input of the next.

Skills are composable: a project pulls in only the standards it needs, version-pinned per project to avoid copy-paste drift. The canonical library is genericised — no client identifiers, no project-specific worked examples in the trunk.

The eleven specialised agents wrap the skills into role-specific personas: a requirements agent that owns IEEE 29148 work, a V&V agent that owns IEEE 1012 and 1028, a configuration management agent that owns IEEE 828, and so on. Each agent's contract with its peers is explicit, so a requirements-agent's output is consumable by a design-agent, whose output is consumable by a V&V agent.

Key Decisions

Outcome

Used internally on every Brumbiesoft project. Available to client engagements where IEEE compliance is a hard requirement. The library is the underlying engine of the FluxPM project-management platform's IV&V discipline.
