Daily-driver agent skills from Matt’s `.agents` directory: `/grill-me`, `/grill-with-docs`, `/tdd`, `/to-spec`, `/implement`, architecture deepeners, and productivity handoffs. Install via `npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills` (skills.sh / editable copies) or Claude Code plugin `mattpocock-skills` (managed marketplace bundle). Designed to stay small, adaptable, and model-agnostic — engineering fundamentals encoded as skills, not a BMAD/GSD-style process takeover.","theCatch":"Star counts on viral skill repos are a weak signal (watchers are far below stars here); judge it on substance, not the counter. Vs agent-skills (Addy Osmani `/spec→/ship` lifecycle pack) and Superpowers (session-hijacking brainstorm→plan→TDD methodology): this is Matt’s composable engineering/productivity skill library you pick and adapt, not a Google-flavored lifecycle gate set and not an automatic SDLC hijack. Installing both the Claude plugin and skills.sh copies doubles every skill — pick one path.","verdict":"MIT real-engineering skill pack when agents need grilling, TDD, and deep-module habits — rank the workflows, not the ★ counter.","addedAt":"2026-09-29","featured":false,"domain":"AI Agents","subSpecialty":"Skills","subcategory":"Skills","tags":["self-host","permissive","coding-agents","skills","workflows","active","fast-stars"],"capabilities":["skills","engineering","agents"],"surfaces":["Self-host"],"ecosystem":["Multi-platform"],"licenseModel":"OSS/MIT","githubStars":296461,"starsPerWeek":8025,"access":"free","archived":false,"repo":{"createdAt":"2026-02-03","pushedAt":"2026-10-13","license":"MIT","archived":false,"checkedAt":"2026-10-19"}},"related":[{"slug":"claude-code","name":"Claude Code","tagline":"Terminal-first coding agent with deep repository context"},{"slug":"cursor","name":"Cursor","tagline":"The AI-first code editor that understands your codebase"},{"slug":"devin","name":"Devin","tagline":"Autonomous AI engineer for defined engineering tasks"},{"slug":"stagehand","name":"Stagehand","tagline":"AI-native browser automation that mixes code and natural language"},{"slug":"browser-use","name":"Browser Use","tagline":"Open-source framework for LLM-driven browser agents"}],"links":{"self":"/api/gems/mattpocock-skills","html":"/gems/mattpocock-skills","markdown":"/gems/mattpocock-skills.md","category":"/api/gems?category=agents","categoryPage":"/stacks/agents"}}
