A curated collection of 25 composable AI agent skills (slash-command prompt files) by Matt Pocock for doing disciplined software engineering with coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot. Skills cover the idea-to-ship flow (grill-with-docs, to-spec, to-tickets, implement, code-review) plus productivity, shaping, and upkeep utilities, installable via a Claude Code plugin or the skills.sh installer.
Use cases
- interview me about a plan and record decisions as docs
- turn a conversation into a written spec
- split a spec into small tickets an agent can build
- review code with an ai coding agent
- hand off a long agent session to a fresh agent with full context
- build throwaway prototypes to flush out design decisions
- reduce token usage from skill descriptions in my coding agent
- set up a repo so my ai agent skills understand it
When to choose
- you use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Copilot and want a structured, opinionated engineering workflow instead of ad-hoc prompting
- you want small, editable, composable skill files you can hack on rather than an all-or-nothing process framework
- you want spec-driven development artifacts like CONTEXT.md, ADRs, specs, and tickets generated in your repo
When to avoid
- you prefer process frameworks that own the whole workflow like GSD, BMAD, or Spec-Kit
- you don't use any AI coding agent
- you need a runtime library or tool rather than prompt/skill files
