Matt Pocock 7afa86d3a5 Add setup-matt-pocock-skills; rename github-triage to triage; migrate engineering skills to vague prose
Engineering skills no longer hard-code GitHub or specific label strings.
A new setup skill scaffolds an `## Agent skills` block in
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md plus `docs/agents/` so each repo can declare its own
backlog backend, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Skills
that need the mapping (to-issues, to-prd, triage) point at the setup
skill; skills that only soften with it (diagnose, tdd,
improve-codebase-architecture, zoom-out) stay vague. ADR-0001 records
the split.

Closes #88, #89.

Domain Docs

How the engineering skills should consume this repo's domain documentation when exploring the codebase.

Before exploring, read these

  • CONTEXT.md at the repo root, or
  • CONTEXT-MAP.md at the repo root if it exists — it points at one CONTEXT.md per context. Read each one relevant to the topic.
  • docs/adr/ — read ADRs that touch the area you're about to work in. In multi-context repos, also check src/<context>/docs/adr/ for context-scoped decisions.

If any of these files don't exist, proceed silently. Don't flag their absence; don't suggest creating them upfront. The producer skill (/grill-with-docs) creates them lazily when terms or decisions actually get resolved.

File structure

Single-context repo (most repos):

/
├── CONTEXT.md
├── docs/adr/
│   ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
│   └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
└── src/

Multi-context repo (presence of CONTEXT-MAP.md at the root):

/
├── CONTEXT-MAP.md
├── docs/adr/                          ← system-wide decisions
└── src/
    ├── ordering/
    │   ├── CONTEXT.md
    │   └── docs/adr/                  ← context-specific decisions
    └── billing/
        ├── CONTEXT.md
        └── docs/adr/

Use the glossary's vocabulary

When your output names a domain concept (in an issue title, a refactor proposal, a hypothesis, a test name), use the term as defined in CONTEXT.md. Don't drift to synonyms the glossary explicitly avoids.

If the concept you need isn't in the glossary yet, that's a signal — either you're inventing language the project doesn't use (reconsider) or there's a real gap (note it for /grill-with-docs).

Flag ADR conflicts

If your output contradicts an existing ADR, surface it explicitly rather than silently overriding:

Contradicts ADR-0007 (event-sourced orders) — but worth reopening because…
