Ask Matt
A router skill. If you don't remember every skill, ask.
The main flow: idea to ship
The route most work travels:
- Grill the idea (grill-with-docs or grill-me)
- Prototype to answer specific questions (prototype)
- Spec multi-session work (to-spec, to-tickets)
- Implement (implement)
- Review (code-review)
Key on-ramps: triage (for incoming issues), wayfinder (for new codebases).
Standalone skills cover: diagnosing-bugs, design-an-interface, domain-modeling, ubiquitous-language, qa, writing-* skills, teach, and more.
Note: This skill references the original Matt Pocock skills ecosystem. Skills not present in Hermes Agent can be adapted from the source repository.
Common Pitfalls
- Not recognizing the meta nature: This skill is a router - it does not execute work. Point to the right skill and let it handle the implementation.
- Stale mental model of available skills: The skill index evolves. Routers must be updated when skills are added or removed.
Verification Checklist
- User's situation understood
- Correct skill or flow identified for their needs
- Direction provided, not implementation
