mattpocock-skills-extra

The six Matt Pocock skills plinth lists but does not install: ask-matt, grill-with-docs, prototype, research, wizard and wait-what. Not installed by default (#520): moved here on #475's four criteria and their measured cost; no run compared a set with them and one without. The planning, clean-up and handoff five moved to mattpocock-skills (#704). No hooks; pinned to the same commit as mattpocock-skills.

What it installs

Skills (38)

  • ask-matt

    Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the skills in this repo.

  • code-review

    Review 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/spec asked for?). Runs both reviews in parallel sub-agents and reports them s

  • codebase-design

    Shared 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-bugs

    Diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions. Use when the user says "diagnose"/"debug this", or reports something broken/throwing/failing/slow.

  • domain-modeling

    Build and sharpen a project's domain model. Use when discussing codebase terminology, writing or editing a GLOSSARY.md, or recording or editing an ADR.

  • grill-with-docs

    A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.

  • implement

    Implement a piece of work based on a spec or set of tickets.

  • retro

    Conduct a retrospective on a coding session.

  • setup-matt-pocock-skills

    Configure 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.

  • tdd

    Test-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.

  • to-spec

    Turn 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-tickets

    Break 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).

  • triage

    Move issues and external PRs through a state machine of triage roles, categorise, verify, grill if needed, and write agent-ready briefs.

  • wayfinder

    Plan 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.

  • wizard

    Generate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through steps only they can perform. Use when provisioning infrastructure, setting up credentials or CI secrets, walking an unfamiliar third-party dashboard, or running a one-off migration or cutover. Don't invoke this for steps the agent can pe

  • chief-of-staff

  • loop-me

    Grill me about specs for the workflows I want to build, within this workspace.

  • setup-ts-deep-modules

    Wire dependency-cruiser into a TypeScript repo so each package is a deep module, with implementation hidden in subfolders and reachable only through its entry-point files. User-invoked.

  • writing-beats

    Writing, exploit; assemble raw material into a journey of beats, grounding each term before a beat leans on it.

  • writing-fragments

    Writing, explore: mine raw fragments, no structure yet.

  • writing-shape

    Writing, exploit: shape raw material into an article, paragraph by paragraph.

  • git-guardrails-claude-code

    Set up Claude Code hooks to block dangerous git commands (push, reset --hard, clean, branch -D, etc.) before they execute. Use when user wants to prevent destructive git operations, add git safety hooks, or block git push/reset in Claude Code.

  • migrate-to-shoehorn

  • grill-me

    A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design.

  • grilling

    Grill 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.

    Teach the user a new skill or concept, within this workspace.

  • to-questionnaire

ponytail

claudecodex

The full ponytail plugin, hooks included. Not installed by default; for the opt-in hooks profile.

One ponytail skill, /ponytail-audit, held on purpose at its pre-v5 version (pin 2ed6c52): a ranked, repository-wide list of over-engineering to delete, simplify or replace with the standard library or the platform; bugs, security and performance are out of its scope. ponytail v5 rewrote it into a full quality audit, which repeats the review step, so the pin is not raised (#715). Applies nothing; no hooks. Not installed by default (#598). The full ponytail plugin is below.
