|A code review skill from Matt Pocock's engineering skill suite, designed to fix common failure modes in AI-powered development through grilling sessions for alignment, shared domain language via CONTEXT.md, test-driven development loops, and codebase architecture improvement.
Overview
Review is a code review skill from Matt Pocock's "Skills For Real Engineers" collection. It is designed to catch the kinds of issues that AI-generated code commonly introduces: misaligned implementations, inconsistent domain language, missing edge cases, and drift from the intended design. The skill performs reviews using the project's established terminology and conventions.
Key Features
- Domain-aware review - Uses the project's CONTEXT.md and ubiquitous language glossary (if present) to evaluate whether code uses consistent terminology and patterns
- Alignment checking - Verifies that the implementation matches the original intent from tickets, specs, or grilling session outputs rather than just checking syntax
- Composable with other skills - Works alongside /grill-me and /grill-with-docs for pre-implementation alignment, and /request-refactor-plan for refactoring reviews
- Actionable feedback - Produces specific, fixable comments rather than generic style suggestions or vague "consider refactoring" notes
- Model-agnostic - Designed to work with any AI model, not locked to a specific provider
Who is this for?
- Engineers who want code reviews that go beyond linting and catch semantic issues like wrong abstractions or misunderstood requirements
- Teams using AI coding agents who need a review step that specifically checks for common AI-generated code problems
- Solo developers who want a structured second opinion on their code changes before committing

Interviews the user relentlessly about every aspect of a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree one by one. Provides recommended answers for each question and explores the codebase when answers can be found there.
A skill that runs a grilling session to challenge your plan against an existing domain model, sharpen terminology by building a shared language in CONTEXT.md, and document architectural decisions in ADRs before coding begins.
An agent skill from Matt Pocock's engineering toolkit that helps improve your codebase architecture. Part of a composable skill set designed to fix common AI coding agent failure modes through structured, experience-based workflows.
Enforces test-driven development with a strict red-green-refactor loop using vertical slices (one test then one implementation at a time), emphasizing behavior verification through public interfaces rather than implementation-coupled testing.
Initial setup skill for Matt Pocock's engineering skills collection that configures your backlog manager, triage labels, and documentation paths for AI coding agents.
A collection of small, composable engineering skills designed for real development workflows, featuring grilling sessions for requirement alignment, issue tracking integration, and task triage with customizable labels.
A composable skill for triaging issues and tickets using configurable labels, designed to fix common failure modes in AI coding agents by providing structured backlog management workflows.
A skill that turns the current conversation context and codebase understanding into a structured PRD (Product Requirements Document) and submits it as a GitHub issue, with modular architecture and user story generation.
Breaks a plan, spec, or PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues using tracer-bullet vertical slices. Each issue is a thin end-to-end path through every integration layer that can be demoed or verified on its own.
A collection of composable engineering skills by Matt Pocock designed to fix common AI coding agent failure modes: misalignment via grilling sessions, verbosity through shared domain language (CONTEXT.md), code quality with TDD red-green-refactor loops, and codebase entropy with architecture improvement workflows.
