Skills (21)
ask-mattAsk which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the skills in this repo.
code-reviewReview the changes since a fixed point (commit, branch, tag, or merge-base) along two axes — Standards (does the code follow this repo's documented coding standards?) and Spec (does the code match what the originating issue/PRD asked for?). Runs both reviews in parallel sub-agents and reports them s
codebase-designShared vocabulary for designing deep modules. Use when the user wants to design or improve a module's interface, find deepening opportunities, decide where a seam goes, make code more testable or AI-navigable, or when another skill needs the deep-module vocabulary.
diagnosing-bugsDiagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions. Use when the user says "diagnose"/"debug this", or reports something broken/throwing/failing/slow.
domain-modelingBuild and sharpen a project's domain model. Use when the user wants to pin down domain terminology or a ubiquitous language, record an architectural decision, or when another skill needs to maintain the domain model.
grill-meA relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design.
grill-with-docsA relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.
grillingGrill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea. Use when the user wants to stress-test their thinking, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases.
handoffCompact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.
implementImplement a piece of work based on a spec or set of tickets.
improve-codebase-architectureScan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.
prototypeBuild a throwaway prototype to answer a design question. Use when the user wants to sanity-check whether a state model or logic feels right, or explore what a UI should look like.
researchInvestigate a question against high-trust primary sources and capture the findings as a Markdown file in the repo. Use when the user wants a topic researched, docs or API facts gathered, or reading legwork delegated to a background agent.
resolving-merge-conflictsUse when you need to resolve an in-progress git merge/rebase conflict.
setup-matt-pocock-skillsConfigure this repo for the engineering skills — set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run once before first use of the other engineering skills.
tddTest-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.
to-specTurn the current conversation into a spec and publish it to the project issue tracker — no interview, just synthesis of what you've already discussed.
to-ticketsBreak a plan, spec, or the current conversation into a set of tracer-bullet tickets, each declaring its blocking edges, published to the configured tracker — edges as text in one file per ticket locally, or native blocking links on a real tracker.
triageMove issues and external PRs through a state machine of triage roles — categorise, verify, grill if needed, and write agent-ready briefs.
wayfinderPlan a huge chunk of work — more than one agent session can hold — as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.
writing-great-skillsReference for writing and editing skills well — the vocabulary and principles that make a skill predictable.
