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.

Engineering

Skills I use daily for code work.

  • diagnose — Disciplined diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions: reproduce → minimise → hypothesise → instrument → fix → regression-test.
  • grill-with-docs — Grilling session that challenges your plan against the existing domain model, sharpens terminology, and updates CONTEXT.md and ADRs inline.
  • triage — Triage backlog issues through a state machine of triage roles.
  • improve-codebase-architecture — Find deepening opportunities in a codebase, informed by the domain language in CONTEXT.md and the decisions in docs/adr/.
  • setup-matt-pocock-skills — Scaffold the per-repo config (backlog backend, triage label vocabulary, domain doc layout) that the other engineering skills consume.
  • tdd — Test-driven development with a red-green-refactor loop. Builds features or fixes bugs one vertical slice at a time.
  • to-issues — Break any plan, spec, or PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues using vertical slices.
  • to-prd — Turn the current conversation context into a PRD and submit it as a GitHub issue.
  • zoom-out — Tell the agent to zoom out and give broader context or a higher-level perspective on an unfamiliar section of code.
