Build Guided Bash Setup Wizards
by mattpocock
Manual setup and migration procedures are easy to miss or repeat incorrectly. This skill creates interactive Bash wizards with guided stages, confirmations, and value handling.
Chart Complex Work Across Agent Sessions
by mattpocock
Large efforts lose context when they exceed one agent session. Wayfinder organizes decisions as a shared issue map that agents resolve incrementally.
Build a Consistent Domain Language
by mattpocock
Teams lose clarity when one concept has several names or one term has several meanings. This skill creates a canonical DDD glossary from your conversation.
Triage Issues and Pull Requests
by mattpocock
Issue queues become difficult to manage when reports lack clear categories, evidence, or next steps. This skill verifies requests and moves them into actionable states.
Turn Plans Into Agent-Ready Tickets
by mattpocock
Large engineering plans often become vague task lists with unclear dependencies. This skill turns plans into vertical-slice tickets with blockers, acceptance criteria, and tracker-ready wording.
Create Specification Issues
by mattpocock
Planning work from a long conversation can lose decisions, constraints, and testing intent. This skill turns existing context into a structured spec and publishes it to the issue tracker.
Create a decision questionnaire
by mattpocock
Important decisions can stall when one person lacks key context. This skill creates a focused questionnaire that helps the informed recipient provide the needed facts.
Create a PRD from Your Project Conversation
by mattpocock
Important product decisions often remain scattered across conversations and code context. This skill synthesizes them into a structured PRD and publishes it to your issue tracker.
Turn Plans Into Ready-to-Assign Issues
by mattpocock
Large plans are difficult to divide into independent engineering work. This skill creates approved vertical-slice issues with dependencies, acceptance criteria, labels, and tracker links.

Enforce TypeScript Package Boundaries
by mattpocock
Deep imports expose internal TypeScript package code and weaken architecture. This skill installs dependency-cruiser rules, validates failures, and documents stable entry-point boundaries.
Set Up Reliable Pre-Commit Checks
by mattpocock
Manual formatting and validation allow avoidable issues into commits. This skill configures Husky, lint-staged, Prettier, type checks, and tests for consistent local checks.
Configure Repositories for Matt Pocock Skills
by mattpocock
Engineering skills need consistent repository conventions before they can manage work reliably. This skill gathers user choices and creates the required agent guidance files.
Scaffold Course Exercises
by mattpocock
Course exercise setup can be slow and inconsistent across sections. This skill helps Claude, Codex, and Claude Code create lint-ready exercise folders with clear variants and readme stubs.
Resolve Git Merge Conflicts Safely
by mattpocock
Merge and rebase conflicts often hide competing design intentions. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through research, resolution, validation, and completion.
