What does this PR do?

Adds a Privacy Engineer agent to the engineering division. The roster has a Data Privacy Officer in specialized/ — but that's a policy/DPO role (GDPR programs, PIAs, consent as policy, breach response, regulatory engagement). No agent covers the engineer who implements privacy in code. This agent is the technical counterpart: PII discovery and classification across all stores (including logs, caches, indexes, third parties), data minimization enforced at code review, consent/purpose limitation enforced at the write path (not just recorded), automated DSAR and right-to-be-forgotten pipelines that fan out across distributed systems with verification and audit records, pseudonymization/tokenization vs true anonymization (with re-identification-risk testing), and automated retention. Verified 0.0% originality against the Data Privacy Officer and the roster.

Agent Information (if adding/modifying an agent)

  • Agent Name: Privacy Engineer
  • Category: engineering
  • Specialty: PII discovery, data minimization, consent enforcement, DSAR/deletion pipelines, privacy-by-design

Checklist

  • Follows the agent template structure from CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Includes YAML frontmatter with name, description, color
  • Has concrete code/template examples (for new agents)
  • Tested in real scenarios
  • Proofread and formatted correctly

Validation: scripts/lint-agents.sh passes with 0 errors / 0 warnings; scripts/check-agent-originality.sh reports 0.0% similarity against the roster (checked specifically against the existing Data Privacy Officer).

Lands two gated contributor agents via consolidated branch:

- Privacy Engineer (engineering) — the technical counterpart to the
  policy-focused Data Privacy Officer: PII discovery/classification,
  data minimization, consent enforcement, DSAR/deletion pipelines,
  tokenization, retention automation. (#728)
- Aging Parent Care Companion (specialized) — HIPAA-aligned family
  caregiver decision-support: appointment/medication coordination,
  care-team comms, and caregiver wellbeing. Novel consumer-caregiver
  domain. (#727)

README roster rows added for both; Hermes generated count 263 -> 265.
All guards green (divisions/tools/runbooks/hermes-plugin/lint).

Closes #728
Closes #727

Merged! 🎉 Landed in #738 (consolidated with another agent to avoid a README-merge conflict). Your Privacy Engineer is live — it passed the full gate cleanly (lint 0/0, originality 0.0%) and I love the framing as the technical counterpart to the policy-focused Data Privacy Officer. Thanks for the contribution, @Hotragn!
