About Agent Skills by mattpocock
Agent Skills is an open-source collection of reusable skills for AI coding assistants, installable via npx skills@latest add. Created by Matt Pocock, the library extends agent capabilities across planning, development, tooling setup, and writing workflows. Each skill is a self-contained unit that can be added to your .claude directory and invoked during AI-assisted development sessions.
- Planning & Design skills — Use
to-prd,to-issues,grill-me,design-an-interface, andrequest-refactor-planto think through problems, generate PRDs, break work into GitHub issues, and explore interface designs before writing code. - Development skills — Use
tdd,triage-issue,improve-codebase-architecture, and others to write, refactor, and fix code using test-driven development and structured investigation workflows. - Tooling & Setup skills — Use
setup-pre-commitandgit-guardrails-claude-codeto configure Husky hooks, lint-staged, Prettier, and safety guardrails for dangerous git commands. - Writing & Knowledge skills — Use
write-a-skill,edit-article,ubiquitous-language, andobsidian-vaultto create new skills, improve articles, extract DDD glossaries, and manage Obsidian notes. - CLI installation — Install any skill with a single
