🛠 Matt Pocock Releases 25 Skills for AI Agents

Creator of Total TypeScript collected instruction files from the .agents working directory into the mattpocock/skills repository: interview skills against task misunderstanding, /tdd and /diagnosing-bugs against non-working code, /improve-codebase-architecture against architecture degradation.

🌍 Skills are composable instruction files against monolithic frameworks like GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit. The approach — a common project vocabulary in CONTEXT.md: the agent spends fewer tokens. The MIT-licensed repository has gathered 243.9k stars and 20.7k forks.

👤 Installation with a single command: claude plugins install mattpocock-skills in Claude Code or npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills in Codex. Files are editable, updates — npx skills update. Claims of efficiency without measurements, and third-party instructions to an agent with code access are a risk.
