Skills of the guild
ask-matt Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the skills in this repo.
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 "review since X".
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.
domain-modeling Build and sharpen a project's domain model. Use when discussing codebase terminology, writing or editing a GLOSSARY.md, or recording or editing an ADR.
grill-me A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design.
grill-with-docs A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.
grilling Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea. Use when the user wants to stress-test their thinking, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases.
handoff Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.
implement Implement a piece of work based on a spec or set of tickets.
improve-codebase-architecture Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.
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.
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.
resolving-merge-conflicts Use when you need to resolve an in-progress git merge/rebase conflict.
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.
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.
teach Teach the user a new skill or concept, within this workspace.
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.
triage Move issues and external PRs through a state machine of triage roles, categorise, verify, grill if needed, and write agent-ready briefs.
wait-what Stop. That last message did not land: re-pitch it.
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.
writing-for-agents Writing documents for agents. Use when creating or editing skills, or modifying AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.
At the gate 4 not cleared
These belong to the guild but did not clear the watch, so joining the guild does not bring them. Read their findings to see why; nothing here is a verdict on the skill or its crafter.
diagnosing-bugs not clearedDiagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions. Use when the user says "diagnose"/"debug this", or reports something broken/throwing/failing/slow.
to-questionnaire not clearedTurn a decision you can't fully answer into a questionnaire for someone else to fill in.
to-tickets not clearedBreak 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).
wizard not clearedGenerate 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.
