Mattpocock Skills

skills/skills/engineering/to-prd

Turn the current conversation context into a PRD and publish it to the project issue tracker. Use when user wants to create a PRD from the current context.

skills/skills/productivity/to-questionnaire

Turn a decision you can't fully answer into a questionnaire for someone else to fill in.

skills/skills/engineering/to-spec

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.

skills/skills/engineering/to-tickets

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.

skills/skills/engineering/triage

Triage issues through a state machine driven by triage roles. Use when user wants to create an issue, triage issues, review incoming bugs or feature requests, prepare issues for an AFK agent, or manage issue workflow.

skills/skills/deprecated/ubiquitous-language

Extract a DDD-style ubiquitous language glossary from the current conversation, flagging ambiguities and proposing canonical terms. Saves to UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md. Use when user wants to define domain terms, build a glossary, harden terminology, create a ubiquitous language, or mentions "domain model" or "DDD".

skills/skills/productivity/wait-what

Stop. That last message did not land — re-pitch it.

skills/skills/engineering/wayfinder

Plan a huge chunk of work — more than one agent session can hold — as a shared map of investigation tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.

skills/skills/engineering/wizard

Generate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through a manual procedure — third-party setup, a one-off migration, an A→B state transition — opening URLs, capturing values, confirming each step, and writing .env files and GitHub Actions secrets.

skills/skills/in-progress/writing-beats

Shape an article as a journey of beats, choose-your-own-adventure style. The user picks a starting beat from the raw material, you write only that beat, then offer options for where to pivot next, beat by beat, until the article reaches a natural end. Use when the user has raw material and wants to assemble it as a narrative rather than an argument.

skills/skills/productivity/writing-for-agents

Writing documents for agents. Use when creating or editing skills, or modifying AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.

skills/skills/in-progress/writing-fragments

Grilling session that mines the user for fragments — heterogeneous nuggets of writing (claims, vignettes, sharp sentences, half-thoughts) — and appends them to a single document as raw material for a future article. Use when the user wants to develop ideas before imposing structure, or mentions "fragments", "ideate", or "raw material" for writing.

skills/skills/productivity/writing-great-skills

Reference for writing and editing skills well — the vocabulary and principles that make a skill predictable.

skills/skills/in-progress/writing-shape

Take a markdown file of raw material and shape it into an article through a conversational session — drafting candidate openings, growing the piece paragraph by paragraph, arguing about format (lists, tables, callouts, quotes) at each step. Use when the user has a pile of notes, fragments, or a rough draft and wants help turning it into something publishable.
