Matt PocockandClaude Opus 5 bfdaef8e98 docs: describe grilling as round-by-round everywhere
The round-by-round rework left the wrappers and callers still promising
a one-question-at-a-time interview. Sync grill-me, grill-with-docs and
triage (docs + skill step), plus grilling's Codex short_description and
the loop-me draft.

Matt PocockandClaude Opus 5 1495d01430 feat(grilling): bold the question title
The title now carries its own bold alongside the bold Q-number, so the
question line reads as a heading. Sync the docs page and changeset.

Matt PocockandClaude Opus 5 294a2c97c5 docs(grilling): pin the question format and document it
Add the fixed per-question shape (numbered title, body, recommendation
line) to grilling's SKILL.md, sync the docs page, and add a changeset.

Matt PocockandClaude Opus 5 f054defc3f feat(writing-for-agents): add the cache leading word for environment truth
Single source of truth now reaches past the document into the environment.
package.json scripts, config files, directory layout and --help output are
authoritative already, so a doc restating them is a cache of a lookup that
earns its load only when the lookup is expensive.

Matt PocockandClaude Opus 5 0f2bdbdb06 feat: graduate to-questionnaire into the productivity bucket
Move `to-questionnaire` out of in-progress into `productivity/` and wire
it up as a promoted skill: plugin.json entry, top-level + Productivity
READMEs under User-invoked, a docs page at
docs/productivity/to-questionnaire.md, and a Standalone route in
ask-matt framing it as the inverse of /grill-me.

Matt PocockandClaude Opus 4.8 1fc6573e0e feat!: rename writing-great-skills to writing-for-agents and restructure
The reference now covers any document an agent consumes — skills,
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, docs reached by a pointer. GLOSSARY.md merged into
SKILL.md as a dedup (Avoid-lists and the standalone Predictability
definition pruned); skill-only mechanics disclosed to SKILL-MECHANICS.md;
the skill is now model-invoked. Clean rename, no alias.

Spec: mattpocock/personal-wiki#187 · ships via mattpocock/personal-wiki#193

Matt PocockandClaude Opus 4.8 6bcbcb09e2 feat(prototype): logic branch produces a shareable HTML demo
Reshape the logic branch from a terminal app into a single
self-contained HTML file a non-developer can drive: a labelled
state panel, free-play buttons, and tabbed guided walkthroughs
(scenarios) with the ordered buttons to press underneath each.
The portable pure-logic module still lifts into the real code;
the HTML shell is the throwaway primary source.

Matt PocockandClaude Opus 4.8 a4b2009a1a feat(grilling): round-by-round frontier interview
Rework grilling from one-question-at-a-time to asking the whole
frontier each round, with background sub-agents for fact-finding so
research never blocks the round. Fold the batch-grill-me experiment
into grilling and delete it. Re-sync the docs page, including how to
opt back into one-at-a-time via global CLAUDE.md.

Matt Pocock 2ab958093e Merge pull request #681 from mattpocock/docs/install-instructions-split
docs: split install instructions by audience

Matt PocockandClaude Opus 5 369c264e23 docs: split install instructions by audience
Collapse the skills.sh Quickstart and the "Install as a Claude Code
plugin" section into one Installation section, ordered Claude Code →
Codex/other agents → tinkerers, each in a collapsed details block.

Claude Code now leads with the one-liner `claude plugins install
mattpocock-skills` — the plugin ships in Claude Code's official
marketplace, so the old two-step `marketplace add` → `install` dance is
gone.

`/setup-matt-pocock-skills` is promoted to a shared step 2, since every
install path needs it.

## Quickstart (30-second setup)
## Installation (30-second setup)
1. Run the skills.sh installer:
Two ways in, two philosophies. **The [Claude Code plugin](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins)** installs the whole set as a managed, read-only bundle that updates when I ship — you subscribe rather than fork. **[skills.sh](https://skills.sh/mattpocock/skills)** copies editable skill files into your project, so you can hack on them and make them your own. Pick one — installing both leaves you with every skill twice.
### 1. Get the skills
<details>
<summary><strong>Claude Code</strong></summary>
```bash
claude plugins install mattpocock-skills
```
Or, from inside a session:
```
/plugin install mattpocock-skills
```
It's in Claude Code's official marketplace, so there's nothing to add first, and updates arrive automatically.
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Codex, and other agents</strong></summary>
```bash
npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills
```
2. Pick the skills you want, and which coding agents you want to install them on. **Make sure you select `/setup-matt-pocock-skills`**.
Pick the skills you want, and which coding agents to install them on. **The installer lets you choose which skills to take — make sure `setup-matt-pocock-skills` is one of them.**
3. Run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills` in your agent. It will:
- Ask you which issue tracker you want to use (GitHub, Linear, or local files)
- Ask you what labels you apply to tickets when you triage them (`/triage` uses labels)
- Ask you where you want to save any docs we create
A native Codex plugin is on the roadmap — see [`.agents/adr/0002-ship-as-a-claude-code-plugin.md`](./.agents/adr/0002-ship-as-a-claude-code-plugin.md).
4. Bam - you're ready to go.

## Install as a Claude Code plugin
<details>
<summary><strong>For tinkerers</strong></summary>
Prefer a plug-and-play install you don't maintain by hand? These skills also ship as a native [Claude Code plugin](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins). Instead of copying editable files into your repo, the plugin installs the whole skill set as a managed bundle that updates when I ship a new version — you subscribe rather than fork.
Inside Claude Code:
```
/plugin marketplace add mattpocock/skills
/plugin install mattpocock-skills@mattpocock
```
Or from your shell:
Use the same installer, on any agent — including Claude Code:
```bash
claude plugin marketplace add mattpocock/skills
claude plugin install mattpocock-skills@mattpocock
npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills
```
Then run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills` once per repo, exactly as in the quickstart above.
It writes the skills into your repo as ordinary files you own and can edit. Nothing updates behind your back; pull my latest changes when you want them with `npx skills update`.
Two ways to install, two philosophies:
</details>
- **[skills.sh](https://skills.sh/mattpocock/skills)** copies the skills into your project so you can hack on them and make them your own.
- **The plugin** keeps them as a read-only, always-current bundle you don't edit — best when you just want my set to work and follow along as it evolves.
### 2. Run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills`
> Using Codex or another agent? The [skills.sh installer](https://skills.sh/mattpocock/skills) already installs these skills into Codex and other Agent-Skills-standard harnesses today. A native Codex plugin is on the roadmap — see [`.agents/adr/0002-ship-as-a-claude-code-plugin.md`](./.agents/adr/0002-ship-as-a-claude-code-plugin.md).
In your agent, run it once per repo. It will:
- Ask you which issue tracker you want to use (GitHub, Linear, or local files)
- Ask you what labels you apply to tickets when you triage them (`/triage` uses labels)
- Ask you where you want to save any docs we create
### 3. Bam - you're ready to go.

In either form, avoid specific file paths or code snippets — they go stale fast. Exception: if a prototype produced a snippet that encodes a decision more precisely than prose can (state machine, reducer, schema, type shape), inline it and note briefly that it came from a prototype. Trim to the decision-rich parts — not a working demo, just the important bits.
Work the frontier one ticket at a time with `/implement`, clearing context between tickets.
