Matt Pocock open-sources his engineering agent skills: a doc-driven pipeline, 270k stars on GitHub
lxfater · x · 2026-09-26
Matt Pocock open-sourced his daily-use agent skills repo (270k GitHub stars, MIT licensed), structuring real engineering as a sequence of composable skills:
- /grill-with-docs: align on ideas and capture a consensus doc
- /to-spec: turn ideas into a design doc
- /to-tickets: break work into independently completable tickets
- /implement: fresh session, one ticket at a time
- /code-review: verify the implementation matches the design
Key details:
- Run /setup-matt-pocock-skills first to set terminology and doc conventions
- Fully doc-driven — no context dependence, survives switching agents
- Invoked manually, unlike Superpowers' auto-run-everything approach
Positioned as a small, adaptable alternative to process-owning frameworks like GSD, BMAD and Spec-Kit.
