Matt Pocock's Skills

A collection of 21 composable agent skills that embed real software engineering discipline into your AI-assisted workflow. Rather than vibe coding, these skills enforce structured practices: grilling sessions that stress-test your thinking before writing code, test-driven development with red-green-refactor loops, dual-axis code review (standards + spec compliance), domain modeling that builds a shared vocabulary, and spec/ticket generation that converts conversations into actionable work items.

The skills address four core failure modes when working with AI agents: misalignment (use grilling to clarify intent before building), verbosity (build domain language via CONTEXT.md and ADRs), non-functional code (TDD and structured debugging loops), and architectural decay (specs, architecture review, and codebase design skills).

How to use: Run /setup-matt-pocock-skills once per repo to configure issue tracking and documentation paths. Then use skills like /grill-me to stress-test a decision, /tdd for test-driven development, /to-spec to turn a conversation into a formal spec, /to-tickets to break plans into trackable tickets, /implement to build from specs with TDD, /code-review for dual-axis review, /domain-modeling to refine project terminology, /improve-codebase-architecture for architecture optimization, and /wayfinder to plan large multi-session work.
