|Initial setup skill for Matt Pocock's engineering skills collection that configures your backlog manager, triage labels, and documentation paths for AI coding agents.
Overview
The first-run setup skill for Matt Pocock's "Skills For Real Engineers" collection. Running /setup-matt-pocock-skills in your AI agent scaffolds the per-repo configuration that the other engineering skills depend on. It asks which issue tracker you use (GitHub, Linear, or local files), what labels you apply when triaging tickets, and where to save generated documentation. This configuration is then consumed by skills like /to-issues, /triage, /tdd, /diagnose, and /improve-codebase-architecture.
Key Features
- Interactive configuration wizard that asks about your issue tracker (GitHub, Linear, or local files), triage labels, and documentation paths
- One-time per-repo setup that persists configuration so all other skills in the collection can reference it automatically
- Issue tracker integration supporting GitHub Issues, Linear, or simple local file-based tracking for teams of all sizes
- Foundation for the full skill collection that must be run before using engineering skills that depend on backlog management and documentation paths
Who is this for?
- Developers installing Matt Pocock's skills collection for the first time who need to configure their repo before using skills like
/to-issues,/triage, or/tdd - Teams onboarding new repositories into the skills workflow who need consistent configuration across projects
- Anyone using the mattpocock/skills collection who sees a prompt to run this setup skill before other skills will work

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.
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 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 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.
Composable, model-agnostic agent skills for real engineering workflows, featuring /grill-me for requirement alignment, /prototype for rapid iteration, and task management tools designed to fix common failure modes in AI coding agents.
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.
