Best for

Teams adopting the related engineering Skills

What you get

Detect project context + Confirm conventions

Main limitation

The output is tailored to Matt Pocock's Skill family rather than a universal standard.

First risk

Repository configuration changes. The Skill writes instruction and reference files. Review the proposed block and paths before committing them.

IN PLAIN ENGLISH

What it does—and when it fits

Setup Matt Pocock Skills is a repository configuration scaffold for a family of engineering workflows. It explores the repo, confirms the issue tracker, maps triage labels, locates domain documentation, then writes an Agent Skills block and supporting reference files for downstream Skills.

This is aimed at Teams adopting the related engineering Skills. Compare the examples below with your task, then review the limitations, permissions, and risks before installing.

What you get
  • Detect project contextInspect remotes, agent instruction files, and documentation layout.
  • Confirm conventionsWalk through tracker, labels, and domain-doc choices one at a time.
  • Write shared configCreate the references expected by triage, TDD, diagnosis, and architecture Skills.
What makes it different
  • This profile is manually organized around the current upstream SKILL.md workflow.
  • The capability boundary remains explicitly tied to mattpocock/skills.
  • Core uses, limitations, and risks are separated for pre-install review.

INSTALL BY AGENT

Choose your Agent

Paths come from official Agent docs or the universal installer behind skills.sh. Compatibility still follows this Skill's record.

Native

This Skill's current record explicitly names this Agent. Still inspect scripts, permissions, and external dependencies first.

Project install (recommended)
npx skills add https://github.com/mattpocock/skills --skill setup-matt-pocock-skills --agent claude-code
Personal install
npx skills add https://github.com/mattpocock/skills --skill setup-matt-pocock-skills --agent claude-code -g

Project install stays with this repository for team sharing. Personal install adds -g and works across repositories.

TYPICAL WORKFLOW

A practical workflow

01

Detect project context

Inspect remotes, agent instruction files, and documentation layout.

02

Confirm conventions

Walk through tracker, labels, and domain-doc choices one at a time.

03

Write shared config

Create the references expected by triage, TDD, diagnosis, and architecture Skills.

THE TRADEOFFS

Advantages and tradeoffs

Notable strengths

  1. This profile is manually organized around the current upstream SKILL.md workflow.
  2. The capability boundary remains explicitly tied to mattpocock/skills.
  3. Core uses, limitations, and risks are separated for pre-install review.

Limitations

  1. The output is tailored to Matt Pocock's Skill family rather than a universal standard.
  2. It is prompt-driven and requires human confirmation before repository changes.

BEFORE YOU USE IT

Risks to review before use

Medium

Repository configuration changes

The Skill writes instruction and reference files. Review the proposed block and paths before committing them.

Medium

Upstream instruction drift

Behavior can change with upstream updates. Record the commit used for important workflows and review updates before adoption.

SECURITY

What the permission profile means

  • Declared access remains governed by the current upstream SKILL.md and runtime requests.
  • Treat repository files, web content, and tool output as untrusted input.
  • SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-audited this package; external skills.sh labels are not SkillSignal certification.

Not a security certification. External ratings are attributed references. SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-reviewed this Skill.
