All AI skills
180 skills. Every one is readable here; downloads and live use need a subscription.
ask-matt
Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the user-invoked skills in this repo.
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.
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.
domain-modeling
Build and sharpen a project's domain model. Use when the user wants to pin down domain terminology or a ubiquitous language, record an architectural decision, or when another skill needs to maintain the domain model.
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
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design. Use when the user wants to stress-test a plan before building, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases.
handoff
Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.
improve-codebase-architecture
Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.
open-dynamic-workflows
Plan, orchestrate, and adversarially verify parallel AI coding agents with a dynamic multi-agent workflow engine.
prototype
Build a throwaway prototype to flesh out a design — a runnable terminal app for state/business-logic questions, or several radically different UI variations toggleable from one route.
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.
to-issues
Break a plan, spec, or PRD into independently-grabbable issues on the project issue tracker using tracer-bullet vertical slices.
to-prd
Turn the current conversation into a PRD 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.
unship
Compare AI agent-made UI variants locally in a real app, then keep one and clean up unused temporary code.
writing-great-skills
Reference for writing and editing skills well — the vocabulary and principles that make a skill predictable.
hosted-agents
Build background agents in sandboxed environments. Use for hosted coding agents, sandboxed VMs, Modal sandboxes, and remote coding environments.
anti-ui-slop
Stop coding agents from shipping generic UI. Extend the product's design system, use UIZZE evidence only when useful, cover required states, and inspect the rendered result.
autonomous-agent-patterns
Design patterns for building autonomous coding agents, inspired by [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline) and [OpenAI Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex).
conductor-setup
Configure a Rails project to work with Conductor (parallel coding agents)
feature-tracking
Maintain durable feature-level memory across AI coding sessions with lightweight Markdown tracks for status, source-of-truth docs, decisions, risks, and changes.
instructree
Map, explain, and lint repository-scoped coding-agent instructions before changing code.
skill-creator-ms
Guide for creating effective skills for AI coding agents working with Azure SDKs and Microsoft Foundry services. Use when creating new skills or updating existing skills.
cc-skill-coding-standards
Universal coding standards, best practices, and patterns for TypeScript, JavaScript, React, and Node.js development.
agents-generator
Generate project-specific AGENTS.md and companion rules by analyzing a codebase. Supports full, minimal, update, and dry-run modes with package-manager detection, monorepos, backups, managed blocks, confidence scoring, and command validation.
agents-md
Create, revise, or audit AGENTS.md files from repository evidence, verified commands, and correctly scoped instructions without overwriting maintainer intent.
agents-v2-py
Build container-based Foundry Agents with Azure AI Projects SDK (ImageBasedHostedAgentDefinition). Use when creating hosted agents with custom container images in Azure AI Foundry.
ai-agents-architect
Expert in designing and building autonomous AI agents. Masters tool use, memory systems, planning strategies, and multi-agent orchestration.
autonomous-agents
Autonomous agents are AI systems that can independently decompose goals, plan actions, execute tools, and self-correct without constant human guidance. The challenge isn't making them capable - it's making them reliable. Every extra decision multiplies failure probability.
azure-ai-agents-persistent-dotnet
Azure AI Agents Persistent SDK for .NET. Low-level SDK for creating and managing AI agents with threads, messages, runs, and tools.
azure-ai-agents-persistent-java
Azure AI Agents Persistent SDK for Java. Low-level SDK for creating and managing AI agents with threads, messages, runs, and tools.
computer-use-agents
Build AI agents that interact with computers like humans do - viewing screens, moving cursors, clicking buttons, and typing text. Covers Anthropic's Computer Use, OpenAI's Operator/CUA, and open-source alternatives.
delegating-to-agents
Delegate bounded work to other AI agents while preserving context, ownership, and progress checks.
dispatching-parallel-agents
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
distribute-skill-to-all-agents
Distribute a skill across configured agent skill folders while respecting local symlink layouts.
folder-specific-claude-and-agents-md
Create folder-scoped CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md guidance for future agents working in that area.
hosted-agents-v2-py
Build hosted agents using Azure AI Projects SDK with ImageBasedHostedAgentDefinition. Use when creating container-based agents in Azure AI Foundry.
m365-agents-dotnet
Microsoft 365 Agents SDK for .NET. Build multichannel agents for Teams/M365/Copilot Studio with ASP.NET Core hosting, AgentApplication routing, and MSAL-based auth.
m365-agents-py
Microsoft 365 Agents SDK for Python. Build multichannel agents for Teams/M365/Copilot Studio with aiohttp hosting, AgentApplication routing, streaming responses, and MSAL-based auth.
n8n-agents
Design n8n AI agents, chains, classifiers, extractors, tool calling, memory, RAG, structured output, and human-review flows.
parallel-agents
Multi-agent orchestration patterns. Use when multiple independent tasks can run with different domain expertise or when comprehensive analysis requires multiple perspectives.
polis-protocol-a-self-optimizing-city-of-agents
Polis Protocol: A Self-Optimizing City of Agents
voice-agents
Voice agents represent the frontier of AI interaction - humans speaking naturally with AI systems.
acceptance-orchestrator
Use when a coding task should be driven end-to-end from issue intake through implementation, review, deployment, and acceptance verification with minimal human re-intervention.
