The collection targets practical engineering workflows across Claude Code, Codex, and other agent platforms. Rather than handing overall project management to monolithic frameworks, the repository structures tasks into small user-invoked orchestrators and model-invoked routines. In documented flows, /grill-with-docs interviews developers on project requirements to align terminology in CONTEXT.md files and architecture decision records. For implementation, /implement executes ticketed specs by running /tdd through red-green-refactor cycles and finishing with /code-review, which inspects diffs against repo standards and originating specs using parallel sub-agents.
Installation follows two paths that should not be combined. Engineers using Claude Code can install the managed plugin with claude plugins install mattpocock-skills or /plugin install mattpocock-skills to receive automatic read-only updates from the official marketplace. Alternatively, developers using Codex, Claude Code, or other agents can run npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills to copy editable files into the target repository. Running both methods duplicates every skill.
Before using the engineering tools, developers must run /setup-matt-pocock-skills once per repository. This configuration step prompts for an issue tracker choice between GitHub, Linear, or local files, specifies ticket triage labels, and sets documentation directories. The project is distributed under an MIT license, though Pocock notes that architecture survey skills highlight deepening opportunities rather than automatically refactoring legacy codebases.
