- # Setup Matt Pocock's Skills
8
-
9
- Scaffold the per-repo configuration that the engineering skills assume:
10
-
11
- - **Issue tracker** — where issues live (GitHub by default; local markdown is also supported out of the box)
12
- - **Triage labels** — the strings used for the five canonical triage roles
13
- - **Domain docs** — where `CONTEXT.md` and ADRs live, and the consumer rules for reading them
14
-
15
- This is a prompt-driven skill, not a deterministic script. Explore, present what you found, confirm with the user, then write.
16
-
17
- ## Process
18
-
19
- ### 1. Explore
20
-
21
- Look at the current repo to understand its starting state. Read whatever exists; don't assume:
22
-
23
- - `git remote -v` and `.git/config` — is this a GitHub repo? Which one?
24
- - `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` at the repo root — does either exist? Is there already an `## Agent skills` section in either?
25
- - `CONTEXT.md` and `CONTEXT-MAP.md` at the repo root
26
- - `docs/adr/` and any `src/*/docs/adr/` directories
27
- - `docs/agents/` — does this skill's prior output already exist?
28
- - `.scratch/` — sign that a local-markdown issue tracker convention is already in use
29
-
30
- ### 2. Present findings and ask
31
-
32
- Summarise what's present and what's missing. Then walk the user through the three decisions **one at a time** — present a section, get the user's answer, then move to the next. Don't dump all three at once.
33
-
34
- Assume the user does not know what these terms mean. Each section starts with a short explainer (what it is, why these skills need it, what changes if they pick differently). Then show the choices and the default.
35
-
36
- **Section A — Issue tracker.**
37
-
38
- > Explainer: The "issue tracker" is where issues live for this repo. Skills like `to-issues`, `triage`, `to-prd`, and `qa` read from and write to it — they need to know whether to call `gh issue create`, write a markdown file under `.scratch/`, or follow some other workflow you describe. Pick the place you actually track work for this repo.
39
-
40
- Default posture: these skills were designed for GitHub. If a `git remote` points at GitHub, propose that. If a `git remote` points at GitLab (`gitlab.com` or a self-hosted host), propose GitLab. Otherwise (or if the user prefers), offer:
41
-
42
- - **GitHub** — issues live in the repo's GitHub Issues (uses the `gh` CLI)
43
- - **GitLab** — issues live in the repo's GitLab Issues (uses the [`glab`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli) CLI)
44
- - **Local markdown** — issues live as files under `.scratch/<feature>/` in this repo (good for solo projects or repos without a remote)
45
- - **Other** (Jira, Linear, etc.) — ask the user to describe the workflow in one paragraph; the skill will record it as freeform prose
46
-
47
- **Section B — Triage label vocabulary.**
48
-
49
- > Explainer: When the `triage` skill processes an incoming issue, it moves it through a state machine — needs evaluation, waiting on reporter, ready for an AFK agent to pick up, ready for a human, or won't fix. To do that, it needs to apply labels (or the equivalent in your issue tracker) that match strings *you've actually configured*. If your repo already uses different label names (e.g. `bug:triage` instead of `needs-triage`), map them here so the skill applies the right ones instead of creating duplicates.
50
-
51
- The five canonical roles:
52
-
53
- - `needs-triage` — maintainer needs to evaluate
54
- - `needs-info` — waiting on reporter
55
- - `ready-for-agent` — fully specified, AFK-ready (an agent can pick it up with no human context)
56
- - `ready-for-human` — needs human implementation
57
- - `wontfix` — will not be actioned
58
-
59
- Default: each role's string equals its name. Ask the user if they want to override any. If their issue tracker has no existing labels, the defaults are fine.
60
-
61
- **Section C — Domain docs.**
62
-
63
- > Explainer: Some skills (`improve-codebase-architecture`, `diagnose`, `tdd`) read a `CONTEXT.md` file to learn the project's domain language, and `docs/adr/` for past architectural decisions. They need to know whether the repo has one global context or multiple (e.g. a monorepo with separate frontend/backend contexts) so they look in the right place.
64
-
65
- Confirm the layout:
66
-
67
- - **Single-context** — one `CONTEXT.md` + `docs/adr/` at the repo root. Most repos are this.
68
- - **Multi-context** — `CONTEXT-MAP.md` at the root pointing to per-context `CONTEXT.md` files (typically a monorepo).
69
-
70
- ### 3. Confirm and edit
71
-
72
- Show the user a draft of:
73
-
74
- - The `## Agent skills` block to add to whichever of `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` is being edited (see step 4 for selection rules)
75
- - The contents of `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md`, `docs/agents/triage-labels.md`, `docs/agents/domain.md`
76
-
77
- Let them edit before writing.
78
-
79
- ### 4. Write
80
-
81
- **Pick the file to edit:**
82
-
83
- - If `CLAUDE.md` exists, edit it.
84
- - Else if `AGENTS.md` exists, edit it.
85
- - If neither exists, ask the user which one to create — don't pick for them.
86
-
87
- Never create `AGENTS.md` when `CLAUDE.md` already exists (or vice versa) — always edit the one that's already there.
88
-
89
- If an `## Agent skills` block already exists in the chosen file, update its contents in-place rather than appending a duplicate. Don't overwrite user edits to the surrounding sections.

107
- ```
108
-
109
- Then write the three docs files using the seed templates in this skill folder as a starting point:
110
-
111
- - [issue-tracker-github.md](./issue-tracker-github.md) — GitHub issue tracker
112
- - [issue-tracker-gitlab.md](./issue-tracker-gitlab.md) — GitLab issue tracker
113
- - [issue-tracker-local.md](./issue-tracker-local.md) — local-markdown issue tracker
114
- - [triage-labels.md](./triage-labels.md) — label mapping
115
- - [domain.md](./domain.md) — domain doc consumer rules + layout
116
-
117
- For "other" issue trackers, write `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md` from scratch using the user's description.
118
-
119
- ### 5. Done
120
-
121
- Tell the user the setup is complete and which engineering skills will now read from these files. Mention they can edit `docs/agents/*.md` directly later — re-running this skill is only necessary if they want to switch issue trackers or restart from scratch.
