Public Skills
retro
by mattpocock
"Conduct a retrospective on a coding session."
implement-spec
by mattpocock
"Implement a specification in code."
writing-shape
by mattpocock
"Writing, exploit: shape raw material into an article, paragraph by paragraph."
wait-what
by mattpocock
"Stop. That last message did not land: re-pitch it."
writing-fragments
by mattpocock
"Writing, explore: mine raw fragments, no structure yet."
setup-matt-pocock-skills
by mattpocock
"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."
to-spec
by mattpocock
"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."
code-review
by mattpocock
"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 side by side. Use when the user wants to review a branch, a PR, work-in-progress changes, or asks to \"review since X\"."
wayfinder
by mattpocock
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.
claude-handoff
by mattpocock
Hand the current conversation off to a fresh background agent that picks up the work immediately.
prototype
by mattpocock
Build 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.
setup-pre-commit
by mattpocock
Set 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.
codebase-design
by mattpocock
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.
writing-beats
by mattpocock
Writing, exploit; assemble raw material into a journey of beats, grounding each term before a beat leans on it.
triage
by mattpocock
Move issues and external PRs through a state machine of triage roles, categorise, verify, grill if needed, and write agent-ready briefs.
improve-codebase-architecture
by mattpocock
Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.
research
by mattpocock
Investigate 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.
diagnosing-bugs
by mattpocock
Diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions. Use when the user says "diagnose"/"debug this", or reports something broken/throwing/failing/slow.
tdd
by mattpocock
Test-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.
setup-ts-deep-modules
by mattpocock
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.
git-guardrails-claude-code
by mattpocock
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.
loop-me
by mattpocock
Grill me about specs for the workflows I want to build, within this workspace.
teach
by mattpocock
Teach the user a new skill or concept, within this workspace.
to-tickets
by mattpocock
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).
