Integrates Matt Pocock's developer skills (55k+ ⭐) into supercli. These are curated, battle-tested engineering workflows for AI coding agents — not your average "write a function" prompts. They enforce real software engineering discipline.
Installation
# Install the plugin via supercli
sc plugins install ./plugins/mattpocock-skills --on-conflict replace --json
# Install the skills themselves
sc mattpocock-skills self setup
The self setup command runs npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills which presents an interactive menu. Select:
Your target AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
Make sure to select /setup-matt-pocock-skills — this is the core configuration skill
After installation, run /setup-matt-pocock-skills inside your agent to configure issue tracking, labels, and docs location.

Skill Slash-Commands (inside Claude Code / Cursor)
Once installed, use these inside your AI coding agent:
Command
Purpose
/grill-me
Deep interrogation of plans/designs — ensures alignment before coding
/grill-with-docs
Same as /grill-me but cross-references project docs (CONTEXT.md, ADRs)
/diagnose
Structured debugging workflow for bugs
/improve-codebase-architecture
Analyze and suggest architecture improvements
/to-prd
Convert conversation into a Product Requirements Document
/to-issues
Break PRD/plan into independent GitHub issues (vertical slices)
/tdd
Test-Driven Development — red-green-refactor cycle
/zoom-out
Get high-level context overview of the codebase
/caveman
Ultra-compressed communication mode
/write-a-skill
Create new skill templates
Usage Flow (Recommended)
Plan first: /grill-me or /grill-with-docs before writing code
Document requirements: /to-prd to capture what you're building
Break it down: /to-issues to create actionable tasks
Build with quality: /tdd for test-driven development
Stay aligned: /zoom-out to keep the big picture in mind
Tips
Run /setup-matt-pocock-skills first — it configures your issue tracker, labels, and docs storage
The skills work best when you have a CONTEXT.md file in your project root
Use /caveman when you need maximum precision with minimum tokens
Write your own custom skills with /write-a-skill to encode team-specific patterns
