Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add tt-a1i/matt-skills-with-to-goal
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add tt-a1i/matt-skills-with-to-goal --skill ask-matt — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/tt-a1i/matt-skills-with-to-goalcp -r "matt-skills-with-to-goal/skills/engineering/ask-matt" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the ask-matt skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add tt-a1i/matt-skills-with-to-goal
Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md — showing the first 30 of 42 files.
-
ask-matt
Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the skills in this repo.
skills/engineering/ask-matt/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
code-review
Review the changes since a fixed point (commit, branch, tag, or merge-base) along two axes: Standards (does the code follow this repo's documented coding standards?) and Spec (does the code match what the originating issue/spec asked for?). Runs both reviews in parallel sub-agents and reports them side by side. Use when the user wants to review a branch, a PR, work-in-progress changes, or asks to…
skills/engineering/code-review/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
codebase-design
Shared vocabulary for designing deep modules. Use when the user wants to design or improve a module's interface, find deepening opportunities, decide where a seam goes, make code more testable or AI-navigable, or when another skill needs the deep-module vocabulary.
skills/engineering/codebase-design/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
diagnosing-bugs
Diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions. Use when the user says "diagnose"/"debug this", or reports something broken/throwing/failing/slow.
skills/engineering/diagnosing-bugs/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
domain-modeling
Build and sharpen a project's domain model. Use when discussing codebase terminology, writing or editing a CONTEXT.md, or recording or editing an ADR.
skills/engineering/domain-modeling/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
execute-spec-in-fork
Orchestrate approved, bounded work through a same-directory Codex App fork: create and name the execution task, ask it to run spec-executor, route decisions through Codex Task Messenger, validate the returned receipt, and archive a completed child. The source may come from any planning workflow. Requires Codex App task tools and codex-task-messenger.
skills/engineering/execute-spec-in-fork/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
goal-crafter
Craft verifiable, tight goal prompts for AI coding agents (Claude Code /goal, Codex Automations, Pi), either from a standalone task interview or from an already-approved to-goal handoff. Use when the user says "给我一个 goal 提示词", "帮我写个 goal", "设置一个自动化任务", "我想让 agent 自动做 X", or asks to turn a task into a self-running loop. Ensures every goal has a checkable completion criterion so the agent knows whe…
skills/engineering/goal-crafter/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
grill-with-docs
A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.
skills/engineering/grill-with-docs/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
implement
Implement a piece of work based on a spec or set of tickets.
skills/engineering/implement/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
improve-codebase-architecture
Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a report — HTML on request — then grill through whichever one you pick.
skills/engineering/improve-codebase-architecture/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
prototype
Build a throwaway prototype to answer a design question. Use when the user wants to sanity-check whether a state model or logic feels right, or explore what a UI should look like.
skills/engineering/prototype/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
research
Investigate a question against high-trust primary sources and capture the findings as a Markdown file in the repo. Use when the user wants a topic researched, docs or API facts gathered, or reading legwork delegated to a background agent.
skills/engineering/research/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
resolving-merge-conflicts
Use when you need to resolve an in-progress git merge/rebase conflict.
skills/engineering/resolving-merge-conflicts/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
roundtable
Convene a roundtable of sub-agents that debate a decision or proposal from opposing perspectives — parallel independent statements, anonymous cross-review, then a chaired verdict reporting consensus and dissent.
skills/engineering/roundtable/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
setup-matt-pocock-skills
Configure this repo for the engineering skills: set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run once before first use of the other engineering skills.
skills/engineering/setup-matt-pocock-skills/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
spec-executor
Execute approved, bounded work in an isolated implementation conversation and return a structured evidence receipt. Use with inherited history or an explicitly identified source; no particular planning, testing, or review skill is required.
skills/engineering/spec-executor/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
tdd
Test-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.
skills/engineering/tdd/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
to-goal
Turn approved planning evidence or partially completed work into a portable, verifiable execution goal. Use when work needs to cross sessions, people, agents, or harnesses; no other skill or tracker setup is required.
skills/engineering/to-goal/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
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/engineering/to-spec/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
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/engineering/to-tickets/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
triage
Move issues and external PRs through a state machine of triage roles, categorise, verify, grill if needed, and write agent-ready briefs.
skills/engineering/triage/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
wayfinder
Plan a huge chunk of work (more than one agent session can hold) as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.
skills/engineering/wayfinder/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
wizard
Generate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through steps only they can perform. Use when provisioning infrastructure, setting up credentials or CI secrets, walking an unfamiliar third-party dashboard, or running a one-off migration or cutover. Don't invoke this for steps the agent can perform itself.
skills/engineering/wizard/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
claude-handoff
Hand the current conversation off to a fresh background agent that picks up the work immediately.
skills/in-progress/claude-handoff/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
implement-spec
Implement a specification in code.
skills/in-progress/implement-spec/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
loop-me
Grill me about specs for the workflows I want to build, within this workspace.
skills/in-progress/loop-me/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
retro
Conduct a retrospective on a coding session.
skills/in-progress/retro/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
setup-ts-deep-modules
Wire dependency-cruiser into a TypeScript repo so each package is a deep module, with implementation hidden in subfolders and reachable only through its entry-point files. User-invoked.
skills/in-progress/setup-ts-deep-modules/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
writing-beats
Writing, exploit; assemble raw material into a journey of beats, grounding each term before a beat leans on it.
skills/in-progress/writing-beats/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
writing-fragments
Writing, explore: mine raw fragments, no structure yet.
skills/in-progress/writing-fragments/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
No skill matches that filter.
Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
