- ▌ Research 2 · mattpocock bundleInvestigate 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.
- ▌ Grilling 2 · mattpocock bundleGrill 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.
- ▌ Ask Matt 2 · mattpocock bundleAsk which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the skills in this repo.
- ▌
- ▌ Edit Article · mattpocock bundleEdit and improve articles by restructuring sections, improving clarity, and tightening prose. Use when user wants to edit, revise, or improve an article draft.
- ▌ Batch Grill Me · mattpocock bundleA relentless interview that asks every frontier question at once, round by round.
- ▌ Writing Great Skills · mattpocock bundleReference for writing and editing skills well — the vocabulary and principles that make a skill predictable.
- ▌ Grill With Docs · mattpocockA relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.
- ▌
- ▌ To Issues · mattpocockBreak a plan, spec, or PRD into independently-grabbable issues on the project issue tracker using tracer-bullet vertical slices.
- ▌ Design An Interface · mattpocock bundleGenerate multiple radically different interface designs for a module using parallel sub-agents. Use when user wants to design an API, explore interface options, compare module shapes, or mentions "design it twice".
- ▌ Obsidian Vault · mattpocock bundleSearch, create, and manage notes in the Obsidian vault with wikilinks and index notes. Use when user wants to find, create, or organize notes in Obsidian.
- ▌ Request Refactor Plan · mattpocock bundleCreate a detailed refactor plan with tiny commits via user interview, then file it as a GitHub issue. Use when user wants to plan a refactor, create a refactoring RFC, or break a refactor into safe incremental steps.
- ▌ Ubiquitous Language · mattpocock bundleExtract a DDD-style ubiquitous language glossary from the current conversation, flagging ambiguities and proposing canonical terms. Saves to UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md. Use when user wants to define domain terms, build a glossary, harden terminology, create a ubiquitous language, or mentions "domain model" or "DDD".
- ▌ QA · mattpocock bundleInteractive QA session where user reports bugs or issues conversationally, and the agent files GitHub issues. Explores the codebase in the background for context and domain language. Use when user wants to report bugs, do QA, file issues conversationally, or mentions "QA session".
- ▌ Setup Matt Pocock Skills · mattpocock bundleConfigure 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.
- ▌ Resolving Merge Conflicts · mattpocock bundleUse when you need to resolve an in-progress git merge/rebase conflict.
- ▌ Improve Codebase Architecture · mattpocock bundleScan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.
- ▌ Writing For Agents · mattpocock bundleWriting documents for agents. Use when creating or editing skills, or modifying AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.
- ▌ Setup TS Deep Modules · mattpocock bundleWire 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.
- ▌
- ▌ To Questionnaire · mattpocock bundleTurn a decision you can't fully answer into a questionnaire for someone else to fill in.
- ▌ Git Guardrails Claude Code · mattpocock bundleSet 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.
- ▌ Diagnosing Bugs · mattpocock bundleDiagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions. Use when the user says "diagnose"/"debug this", or reports something broken/throwing/failing/slow.
- ▌ Domain Modeling · mattpocock bundleBuild and sharpen a project's domain model. Use when discussing codebase terminology, writing or editing a CONTEXT.md, or recording or editing an ADR.
- ▌
- ▌ Codebase Design · mattpocock bundleShared 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.
- ▌ Migrate To Shoehorn · mattpocock bundleMigrate test files from `as` type assertions to @total-typescript/shoehorn. Use when user mentions shoehorn, wants to replace `as` in tests, or needs partial test data.
- ▌ Writing Beats · mattpocock bundleWriting, exploit; assemble raw material into a journey of beats, grounding each term before a beat leans on it.
- ▌ Writing Shape · mattpocock bundleWriting, exploit: shape raw material into an article, paragraph by paragraph.
- ▌ Claude Handoff · mattpocock bundleHand the current conversation off to a fresh background agent that picks up the work immediately.
- ▌ To Tickets · mattpocock bundleBreak 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).
- ▌
- ▌ Code Review · mattpocock bundleReview 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 side by side. Use when the user wants to review a branch, a PR, work-in-progress changes, or asks to "review since X".
- ▌ Scaffold Exercises · mattpocock bundleCreate exercise directory structures with sections, problems, solutions, and explainers that pass linting. Use when user wants to scaffold exercises, create exercise stubs, or set up a new course section.
- ▌ Prototype · mattpocock bundleBuild 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.
- ▌ Wayfinder · mattpocock bundlePlan 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.
- ▌ Setup Pre Commit · mattpocock bundleSet up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged (Prettier), type checking, and tests in the current repo. Use when user wants to add pre-commit hooks, set up Husky, configure lint-staged, or add commit-time formatting/typechecking/testing.

- ▌ Handoff · mattpocock bundleCompact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.

- ▌ To Spec · mattpocock bundleTurn the current conversation into a spec and publish it to the project issue tracker: no interview, just synthesis of what you've already discussed.
- ▌ Loop Me · mattpocock bundleGrill me about specs for the workflows I want to build, within this workspace.
- ▌ Ask Matt · mattpocock bundleAsk which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the skills in this repo.

- ▌ Wizard · mattpocock bundleGenerate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through steps only they can perform.

- ▌ Tdd · mattpocock bundleTest-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.
- ▌
- ▌ To Prd · mattpocockTurn the current conversation into a PRD and publish it to the project issue tracker — no interview, just synthesis of what you've already discussed.
