Matt Pocock: Agents just need a clear goal to get strategic — he's building a skill for it

Matt Pocock argues agents can already hill-climb anything given data; what's missing is direction. With a clearly defined goal, an agent can pick its own path and endlessly improve. He plans to build a /the-ideal-codebase skill that helps you define that goal up front, noting his existing /codebase-design skill isn't strong or opinionated enough.
