AI agent for engineering managers
Promotion Evidence Packet Agent
Build a complete, evidence-based promotion packet mapped to the level criteria
What it does
A manager writes a promotion case the week before the deadline from what they remember, and misses the migration the engineer led nine months ago. This agent collects work evidence over the review period from tickets, code reviews, design documents and peer feedback. It maps each piece to the level criteria, such as scope, independence and influence, and finds the criteria with weak or no evidence. It asks the manager for more examples, searches again with the leads' hints, and rechecks. It then drafts the packet with evidence organized by criterion, with links, not opinions. The manager approves the packet before it goes anywhere. Edge case: strong evidence exists but belongs to a team effort, so the agent marks the person's specific part.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Promotion cycle opens
- Read the level criteria and review period
- Collect tickets, reviews, design documents and peer feedback
- Map each piece of evidence to a criterion
- Rate each criterion as strong, partial or missing
- Ask the manager for more examples on weak criteria
- Search again using the manager's hints
- Does every criterion have at least two strong examples?If not: collect more evidence or mark the criterion as a gap for the manager to address. Back to step 3.
- Draft the packet organized by criterion
- Manager approves the packetThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Promotion evidence packet
How it decides
It scores each criterion as strong, partial or missing by the evidence found and asks for more where it is missing or relies on a single example.
- Require at least two examples per criterion
- Credit only the person's own part of team work
- Include peer feedback only with the giver's consent to share
- Mark missing criteria honestly as gaps
Make it yours
Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.
- Level criteria document
- Review period
- Sources searched
- Examples needed per criterion (default 2)
- Packet format
What keeps you in control
It always asks you first
- Manager approves the packet
- HR partner approves anything shared outside the manager chain
Hard limits
- Never invent or inflate evidence
- Never submit the packet itself
It stops when
- Done: the packet is approved and submitted by the manager
- Stop: criteria gaps are too large and the manager reconsiders timing
