# Agent Skills by mattpocock

> A collection of open-source agent skills that extend AI coding assistant capabilities across planning, development, tooling, and knowledge management.

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`, and `request-refactor-plan` to 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-commit` and `git-guardrails-claude-code` to configure Husky hooks, lint-staged, Prettier, and safety guardrails for dangerous git commands.*
- **Writing & Knowledge skills** — *Use `write-a-skill`, `edit-article`, `ubiquitous-language`, and `obsidian-vault` to create new skills, improve articles, extract DDD glossaries, and manage Obsidian notes.*
- **CLI installation** — *Install any skill with a single `npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills/<skill-name>` command; no global install required.*
- **Open-source & MIT licensed** — *The entire repository is freely available on GitHub under the MIT License, with over 18,000 stars and 1,500 forks.*
- **Parallel sub-agent support** — *Skills like `design-an-interface` leverage parallel sub-agents to generate multiple radically different design options simultaneously.*
- **GitHub integration** — *Several skills (e.g., `to-prd`, `to-issues`, `triage-issue`) automatically file GitHub issues as part of their workflow.*
