mattpocock/skills
The mattpocock/skills repository provides a composable collection of small, adaptable agent skills described in its README as model-agnostic for software engineering workflows. The skills are designed to address common agent failure modes, including project misalignment, excessive verbosity, and non-functional code. Included workflows feature questioning tools such as /grill-me under productivity and /grill-with-docs under engineering, which help developers align project requirements, establish a concise shared domain language, and document architectural decisions. The framework also promotes red-green-refactor automated test cycles and static typing feedback loops. The repository documentation explicitly contrasts its modular approach with alternative methodologies named in the text, namely GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit. The GitHub snapshot shows the repository is not archived.
The target audience consists of engineers and software developers building real applications with AI coding agents. Prerequisites include a supported agent environment such as Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, or an environment supporting npx package runners. For Claude Code, install the plugin with:
claude plugin install mattpocock-skills@claude-plugins-official
For Gemini CLI, install both the engineering and productivity skill suites using:
gemini skills install https://github.com/mattpocock/skills.git --path skills/engineering
gemini skills install https://github.com/mattpocock/skills.git --path skills/productivity
For other supported agents, install via npx:
npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills -a <agent>
Following installation, execute /setup-matt-pocock-skills once per repository to configure the issue tracker, triage labels, and documentation storage location. The project is licensed under the MIT License.
