Why we included this project

Matt Pocock publishes the agent skills he actually uses in his own work, and the selling point is that they stay small enough to adapt instead of owning your whole process. The files target the failure modes that keep tripping up coding agents: a grilling session to pin down what you're actually building, a shared-language document to cut verbosity, a red-green-refactor TDD loop, and a disciplined bug-diagnosis routine. They're plain editable files, so you can drop them into a repo and bend them to your own conventions rather than adopting a heavyweight framework. You can install them as a Claude Code plugin that updates as a managed bundle, or use the skills.sh installer for Codex and other agents, which copies the files into your project and walks you through wiring up your issue tracker and labels. For developers and small teams who want more reliable output from their agents without surrendering control, this is a practical place to start.
