What it does
A collection of agent skills pulled straight from Matt Pocock's own .agents directory, aimed at real engineering rather than vibe coding. They are deliberately small, easy to adapt, composable, and model-agnostic, grounded in decades of engineering experience.
What's inside
The repo is mostly Shell scripts and skill files, including installable skill definitions, ADRs (such as shipping as a Claude Code plugin), and setup docs.
Tech stack
Shell is the main language; installs via the Claude Code plugin marketplace or npx skills, and works with Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents.
Use cases
- Engineers using Claude Code, Codex, or similar coding agents who want composable skills for daily work
- Developers frustrated with heavy process frameworks like GSD, BMAD, or Spec-Kit and wanting to keep control
- Tinkerers who like to fork and customize tooling, making the skills their own
Why it's trending
With 876 stars added today, over 273k total, and a #9 spot on GitHub Trending daily, it shows strong demand for controllable, hackable agent skills.
