## Abstract (arXiv)

Small-scale automation services in Software Engineering, known as SE Bots, have gradually infiltrated every aspect of daily software development with the goal of enhancing productivity and well-being. While leading the OSS development, elite developers have often burned out from holistic responsibilities in projects and looked for automation support. Building on prior research in BotSE and our interviews with elite developers, this paper discusses how to design and implement SE bots that integrate into the workflows of elite developers and meet their expectations. We present six main design guidelines for implementing SE bots for elite developers, based on their concerns about noise, security, simplicity, and other factors. Additionally, we discuss the future directions of SE bots, especially in supporting elite developers' increasing workload due to rising demands.
