+ # ADR Format
2
+
3
+ ADRs live in `docs/adr/` and use sequential numbering: `0001-slug.md`, `0002-slug.md`, etc.
4
+
5
+ Create the `docs/adr/` directory lazily: only when the first ADR is needed.
6
+
7
+ ## Template
8
+
9
+ ```md
10
+ # {Short title of the decision}
11
+
12
+ {1-3 sentences: what's the context, what did we decide, and why.}
13
+ ```
14
+
15
+ That's it. An ADR can be a single paragraph. The value is in recording *that* a decision was made and *why*, not in filling out sections.
16
+
17
+ ## Optional sections
18
+
19
+ Only include these when they add genuine value. Most ADRs won't need them.
20
+
21
+ - **Status** frontmatter (`proposed | accepted | deprecated | superseded by ADR-NNNN`): useful when decisions are revisited
22
+ - **Considered Options**: only when the rejected alternatives are worth remembering
23
+ - **Consequences**: only when non-obvious downstream effects need to be called out
24
+
25
+ ## Numbering
26
+
27
+ Scan `docs/adr/` for the highest existing number and increment by one.
28
+
29
+ ## When to offer an ADR
30
+
31
+ All three of these must be true:
32
+
33
+ 1. **Hard to reverse**: the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
34
+ 2. **Surprising without context**: a future reader will look at the code and wonder "why on earth did they do it this way?"
35
+ 3. **The result of a real trade-off**: there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
36
+
37
+ If a decision is easy to reverse, skip it: you'll just reverse it. If it's not surprising, nobody will wonder why. If there was no real alternative, there's nothing to record beyond "we did the obvious thing."
38
+
39
+ ### What qualifies
40
+
41
+ - **Architectural shape.** "We're using a monorepo." "The write model is event-sourced, the read model is projected into Postgres."
42
+ - **Integration patterns between contexts.** "Ordering and Billing communicate via domain events, not synchronous HTTP."
43
+ - **Technology choices that carry lock-in.** Database, message bus, auth provider, deployment target. Not every library: just the ones that would take a quarter to swap out.
44
+ - **Boundary and scope decisions.** "Customer data is owned by the Customer context; other contexts reference it by ID only." The explicit no-s are as valuable as the yes-s.
45
+ - **Deliberate deviations from the obvious path.** "We're using manual SQL instead of an ORM because X." Anything where a reasonable reader would assume the opposite. These stop the next engineer from "fixing" something that was deliberate.
46
+ - **Constraints not visible in the code.** "We can't use AWS because of compliance requirements." "Response times must be under 200ms because of the partner API contract."
47
+ - **Rejected alternatives when the rejection is non-obvious.** If you considered GraphQL and picked REST for subtle reasons, record it; otherwise someone will suggest GraphQL again in six months.

+ # CONTEXT.md Format
2
+
3
+ ## Structure
4
+
5
+ ```md
6
+ # {Context Name}
7
+
8
+ {One or two sentence description of what this context is and why it exists.}
9
+
10
+ ## Language
11
+
12
+ **Order**:
13
+ {A one or two sentence description of the term}
14
+ _Avoid_: Purchase, transaction
15
+
16
+ **Invoice**:
17
+ A request for payment sent to a customer after delivery.
18
+ _Avoid_: Bill, payment request
19
+
20
+ **Customer**:
21
+ A person or organization that places orders.
22
+ _Avoid_: Client, buyer, account
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ ## Rules
26
+
27
+ - **Be opinionated.** When multiple words exist for the same concept, pick the best one and list the others under `_Avoid_`.
28
+ - **Keep definitions tight.** One or two sentences max. Define what it IS, not what it does.
29
+ - **Only include terms specific to this project's context.** General programming concepts (timeouts, error types, utility patterns) don't belong even if the project uses them extensively. Before adding a term, ask: is this a concept unique to this context, or a general programming concept? Only the former belongs.
30
+ - **Group terms under subheadings** when natural clusters emerge. If all terms belong to a single cohesive area, a flat list is fine.
31
+
32
+ ## Single vs multi-context repos
33
+
34
+ **Single context (most repos):** One `CONTEXT.md` at the repo root.
35
+
36
+ **Multiple contexts:** A `CONTEXT-MAP.md` at the repo root lists the contexts, where they live, and how they relate to each other:
37
+
38
+ ```md
39
+ # Context Map
40
+
41
+ ## Contexts
42
+
43
+ - [Ordering](./src/ordering/CONTEXT.md): receives and tracks customer orders
44
+ - [Billing](./src/billing/CONTEXT.md): generates invoices and processes payments
45
+ - [Fulfillment](./src/fulfillment/CONTEXT.md): manages warehouse picking and shipping
46
+
47
+ ## Relationships
48
+
49
+ - **Ordering → Fulfillment**: Ordering emits `OrderPlaced` events; Fulfillment consumes them to start picking
50
+ - **Fulfillment → Billing**: Fulfillment emits `ShipmentDispatched` events; Billing consumes them to generate invoices
51
+ - **Ordering ↔ Billing**: Shared types for `CustomerId` and `Money`
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ The skill infers which structure applies:
55
+
56
+ - If `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists, read it to find contexts
57
+ - If only a root `CONTEXT.md` exists, single context
58
+ - If neither exists, create a root `CONTEXT.md` lazily when the first term is resolved
59
+
60
+ When multiple contexts exist, infer which one the current topic relates to. If unclear, ask.

+ # Domain Modeling
7
+
8
+ Actively build and sharpen the project's domain model as you design. This is the *active* discipline: challenging terms, inventing edge-case scenarios, and writing the glossary and decisions down the moment they crystallise. (Merely *reading* `CONTEXT.md` for vocabulary is not this skill: that's a one-line habit any skill can do. This skill is for when you're changing the model, not just consuming it.)
9
+
10
+ ## File structure
11
+
12
+ Most repos have a single context:
13
+
14
+ ```
15
+ /
16
+ ├── CONTEXT.md
17
+ ├── docs/
18
+ │ └── adr/
19
+ │ ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
20
+ │ └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
21
+ └── src/
22
+ ```
23
+
24
+ If a `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives:
25
+
26
+ ```
27
+ /
28
+ ├── CONTEXT-MAP.md
29
+ ├── docs/
30
+ │ └── adr/ ← system-wide decisions
31
+ ├── src/
32
+ │ ├── ordering/
33
+ │ │ ├── CONTEXT.md
34
+ │ │ └── docs/adr/ ← context-specific decisions
35
+ │ └── billing/
36
+ │ ├── CONTEXT.md
37
+ │ └── docs/adr/
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ Create files lazily: only when you have something to write. If no `CONTEXT.md` exists, create one when the first term is resolved. If no `docs/adr/` exists, create it when the first ADR is needed.
41
+
42
+ ## During the session
43
+
44
+ ### Challenge against the glossary
45
+
46
+ When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing language in `CONTEXT.md`, call it out immediately. "Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y. Which is it?"
47
+
48
+ ### Sharpen fuzzy language
49
+
50
+ When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account': do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."
51
+
52
+ ### Discuss concrete scenarios
53
+
54
+ When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.
55
+
56
+ ### Cross-reference with code
57
+
58
+ When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible. Which is right?"
59
+
60
+ ### Update CONTEXT.md inline
61
+
62
+ When a term is resolved, update `CONTEXT.md` right there. Don't batch these up: capture them as they happen. Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md).
63
+
64
+ `CONTEXT.md` should be totally devoid of implementation details. Do not treat `CONTEXT.md` as a spec, a scratch pad, or a repository for implementation decisions. It is a glossary and nothing else.
65
+
66
+ ### Offer ADRs sparingly
67
+
68
+ Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true:
69
+
70
+ 1. **Hard to reverse**: the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
71
+ 2. **Surprising without context**: a future reader will wonder "why did they do it this way?"
72
+ 3. **The result of a real trade-off**: there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
73
+
74
+ If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in [ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md).

4
+ ---
5
+
6
+ # Test-Driven Development
7
+
8
+ TDD is the red → green loop. This skill is the reference that makes that loop produce tests worth keeping: what a good test is, where tests go, the anti-patterns, and the rules of the loop. Every section applies on every cycle: consult them before and during the loop, not after.
9
+
10
+ When exploring the codebase, read `CONTEXT.md` (if it exists) so test names and interface vocabulary match the project's domain language, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching.
11
+
12
+ ## What a good test is
13
+
14
+ Tests verify behavior through public interfaces, not implementation details. Code can change entirely; tests shouldn't. A good test reads like a specification: "user can checkout with valid cart" tells you exactly what capability exists, and it survives refactors because it doesn't care about internal structure.
15
+
16
+ See [tests.md](tests.md) for examples and [mocking.md](mocking.md) for mocking guidelines.
17
+
18
+ ## Seams: where tests go
19
+
20
+ A **seam** is the public boundary you test at: the interface where you observe behavior without reaching inside. Tests live at seams, never against internals.
21
+
22
+ **Test only at pre-agreed seams.** Before writing any test, write down the seams under test and confirm them with the user. No test is written at an unconfirmed seam. You can't test everything, so agreeing the seams up front is how testing effort lands on the critical paths and complex logic instead of every edge case.
23
+
24
+ Ask: "What's the public interface, and which seams should we test?"
25
+
26
+ When the shape of that interface is itself in question (how deep the module is, where the seam belongs, what the interface should expose), call the Skill tool with "codebase-design" for the vocabulary. It is the shared source of the module, interface, depth, seam, adapter, leverage and locality terms, and it is a reference to consult, not a session to run.
27
+
28
+ ## Anti-patterns
29
+
30
+ - **Implementation-coupled**: mocks internal collaborators, tests private methods, or verifies through a side channel (querying the database instead of using the interface). The tell: the test breaks when you refactor but behavior hasn't changed.
31
+ - **Tautological**: the assertion recomputes the expected value the way the code does (`expect(add(a, b)).toBe(a + b)`, a snapshot derived by hand the same way, a constant asserted equal to itself), so it passes by construction and can never disagree with the code. Expected values must come from an independent source of truth: a known-good literal, a worked example, the spec.
32
+ - **Horizontal slicing**: writing all tests first, then all implementation. Bulk tests verify _imagined_ behavior: you test the _shape_ of things rather than user-facing behavior, the tests go insensitive to real changes, and you commit to test structure before understanding the implementation. Work in **vertical slices** instead: one test → one implementation → repeat, each test a **tracer bullet** that responds to what the last cycle taught you.
33
+
34
+ ## Rules of the loop
35
+
36
+ - **Red before green.** Write the failing test first, then only enough code to pass it. Don't anticipate future tests or add speculative features.
37
+ - **One slice at a time.** One seam, one test, one minimal implementation per cycle.
38
+ - **Refactoring is not part of the loop.** It belongs to the review stage (see the `code-review` skill), not the red → green implementation cycle.

+ # When to Mock
2
+
3
+ Mock at **system boundaries** only:
4
+
5
+ - External APIs (payment, email, etc.)
6
+ - Databases (sometimes - prefer test DB)
7
+ - Time/randomness
8
+ - File system (sometimes)
9
+
10
+ Don't mock:
11
+
12
+ - Your own classes/modules
13
+ - Internal collaborators
14
+ - Anything you control
15
+
16
+ ## Designing for Mockability
17
+
18
+ At system boundaries, design interfaces that are easy to mock:
19
+
20
+ **1. Use dependency injection**
21
+
22
+ Pass external dependencies in rather than creating them internally:
23
+
24
+ ```typescript
25
+ // Easy to mock
26
+ function processPayment(order, paymentClient) {
27
+ return paymentClient.charge(order.total);
28
+ }
29
+
30
+ // Hard to mock
31
+ function processPayment(order) {
32
+ const client = new StripeClient(process.env.STRIPE_KEY);
33
+ return client.charge(order.total);
34
+ }
35
+ ```
36
+
37
+ **2. Prefer SDK-style interfaces over generic fetchers**
38
+
39
+ Create specific functions for each external operation instead of one generic function with conditional logic:
40
+
41
+ ```typescript
42
+ // GOOD: Each function is independently mockable
43
+ const api = {
44
+ getUser: (id) => fetch(`/users/${id}`),
45
+ getOrders: (userId) => fetch(`/users/${userId}/orders`),
46
+ createOrder: (data) => fetch('/orders', { method: 'POST', body: data }),
47
+ };
48
+
49
+ // BAD: Mocking requires conditional logic inside the mock
50
+ const api = {
51
+ fetch: (endpoint, options) => fetch(endpoint, options),
52
+ };
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ The SDK approach means:
56
+ - Each mock returns one specific shape
57
+ - No conditional logic in test setup
58
+ - Easier to see which endpoints a test exercises
59
+ - Type safety per endpoint

1
+ # Good and Bad Tests
2
+
3
+ ## Good Tests
4
+
5
+ **Integration-style**: Test through real interfaces, not mocks of internal parts.
6
+
7
+ ```typescript
8
+ // GOOD: Tests observable behavior
9
+ test("user can checkout with valid cart", async () => {
10
+ const cart = createCart();
11
+ cart.add(product);
12
+ const result = await checkout(cart, paymentMethod);
13
+ expect(result.status).toBe("confirmed");
14
+ });
15
+ ```
16
+
17
+ Characteristics:
18
+
19
+ - Tests behavior users/callers care about
20
+ - Uses public API only
21
+ - Survives internal refactors
22
+ - Describes WHAT, not HOW
23
+ - One logical assertion per test
24
+
25
+ ## Bad Tests
26
+
27
+ **Implementation-detail tests**: Coupled to internal structure.

42

44
+ - Test name describes HOW not WHAT
45
+ - Verifying through external means instead of interface
46

47

63
+ **Tautological tests**: Expected value restates the implementation, so the test passes by construction.

6
+
7
+ This skill takes the current conversation context and codebase understanding and produces a spec. Do NOT interview the user; just synthesize what you already know.
8
+
9
+ The issue tracker and triage label vocabulary should have been provided to you. If not, tell the user to run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills`.
10
+
11
+ ## Process
12
+
13
+ 1. Explore the repo to understand the current state of the codebase, if you haven't already. Use the project's domain glossary vocabulary throughout the spec, and respect any ADRs in the area you're touching.
14
+
15
+ 2. Sketch out the seams at which you're going to test the feature. Existing seams should be preferred to new ones. Use the highest seam possible. If new seams are needed, propose them at the highest point you can. The fewer seams across the codebase, the better - the ideal number is one.
16
+
17
+ Check with the user that these seams match their expectations.
18
+
19
+ 3. Write the spec using the template below, then publish it to the project issue tracker. Apply the `ready-for-agent` triage label - no need for additional triage.
20
+
21
+ <spec-template>
22
+
23
+ ## Problem Statement
24
+
25
+ The problem that the user is facing, from the user's perspective.
26
+
27
+ ## Solution
28
+
29
+ The solution to the problem, from the user's perspective.
30
+
31
+ ## User Stories
32
+
33
+ A LONG, numbered list of user stories. Each user story should be in the format of:
34
+
35
+ 1. As an <actor>, I want a <feature>, so that <benefit>
36
+
37
+ <user-story-example>
38
+ 1. As a mobile bank customer, I want to see balance on my accounts, so that I can make better informed decisions about my spending
39
+ </user-story-example>
40
+
41
+ This list of user stories should be extremely extensive and cover all aspects of the feature.
42
+
43
+ ## Implementation Decisions
44
+
45
+ A list of implementation decisions that were made. This can include:
46
+
47
+ - The modules that will be built/modified
48
+ - The interfaces of those modules that will be modified
49
+ - Technical clarifications from the developer
50
+ - Architectural decisions
51
+ - Schema changes
52
+ - API contracts
53
+ - Specific interactions
54
+
55
+ Do NOT include specific file paths or code snippets. They may end up being outdated very quickly.
56
+
57
+ Exception: if a prototype produced a snippet that encodes a decision more precisely than prose can (state machine, reducer, schema, type shape), inline it within the relevant decision and note briefly that it came from a prototype. Trim to the decision-rich parts, not a working demo, just the important bits.
58
+
59
+ ## Testing Decisions
60
+
61
+ A list of testing decisions that were made. Include:
62
+
63
+ - A description of what makes a good test (only test external behavior, not implementation details)
64
+ - Which modules will be tested
65
+ - Prior art for the tests (i.e. similar types of tests in the codebase)
66
+
67
+ ## Out of Scope
68
+
69
+ A description of the things that are out of scope for this spec.
70
+
71
+ ## Further Notes
72
+
73
+ Any further notes about the feature.

7
+ # To Tickets
8
+
9
+ Break a plan, spec, or conversation into a set of **tickets**: tracer-bullet vertical slices, each declaring the tickets that **block** it.
10
+
11
+ The issue tracker and triage label vocabulary should have been provided to you. If not, tell the user to run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills`.
12
+
13
+ ## Process
14
+
15
+ ### 1. Gather context
16
+
17
+ Work from whatever is already in the conversation context. If the user passes a reference (a spec path, an issue number or URL) as an argument, fetch it and read its full body and comments.
18
+
19
+ ### 2. Explore the codebase (optional)
20
+
21
+ If you have not already explored the codebase, do so to understand the current state of the code. Ticket titles and descriptions should use the project's domain glossary vocabulary, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching.
22
+
23
+ Look for opportunities to prefactor the code to make the implementation easier. "Make the change easy, then make the easy change."
24
+
25
+ ### 3. Draft vertical slices
26
+
27
+ Break the work into **tracer bullet** tickets.
28
+
29
+ <vertical-slice-rules>
30
+
31
+ - Each slice cuts a narrow but COMPLETE path through every layer (schema, API, UI, tests): vertical, NOT a horizontal slice of one layer
32
+ - A completed slice is demoable or verifiable on its own
33
+ - Each slice is sized to fit in a single fresh context window
34
+ - Any prefactoring should be done first
35
+
36
+ </vertical-slice-rules>
37
+
38
+ Give each ticket its **blocking edges**: the other tickets that must complete before it can start. A ticket with no blockers can start immediately.
39
+
40
+ **Wide refactors are the exception to vertical slicing.** A **wide refactor** is one mechanical change (rename a column, retype a shared symbol) whose **blast radius** fans across the whole codebase, so a single edit breaks thousands of call sites at once and no vertical slice can land green. Don't force it into a tracer bullet; sequence it as **expand–contract**. First expand: add the new form beside the old so nothing breaks. Then migrate the call sites over in batches sized by blast radius (per package, per directory), each batch its own ticket blocked by the expand, keeping CI green batch to batch because the old form still exists. Finally contract: delete the old form once no caller remains, in a ticket blocked by every migrate batch. When even the batches can't stay green alone, keep the sequence but let them share an integration branch that all block a final integrate-and-verify ticket; green is promised only there.
41
+
42
+ ### 4. Quiz the user
43
+
44
+ Present the proposed breakdown as a numbered list. For each ticket, show:
45
+
46
+ - **Title**: short descriptive name
47
+ - **Blocked by**: which other tickets (if any) must complete first
48
+ - **What it delivers**: the end-to-end behaviour this ticket makes work
49
+
50
+ Ask the user:
51
+
52
+ - Does the granularity feel right? (too coarse / too fine)
53
+ - Are the blocking edges correct: does each ticket only depend on tickets that genuinely gate it?
54
+ - Should any tickets be merged or split further?
55
+
56
+ Iterate until the user approves the breakdown.
57
+
58
+ ### 5. Publish the tickets to the configured tracker
59
+
60
+ Publish the approved tickets. **How** depends on the tracker `/setup-matt-pocock-skills` configured; the tickets are the same either way, only the shape of the blocking edges changes:
61
+
62
+ - **Local files** → write one file per ticket under `.scratch/<feature-slug>/issues/<NN>-<slug>.md`, numbered from `01` in dependency order (blockers first). Each file's "Blocked by" lists the numbers/titles it depends on. Use the per-ticket file template below: one ticket per file, never a single combined file.
63
+ - **A real issue tracker (GitHub, Linear, …)** → publish one issue per ticket in dependency order (blockers first) so each ticket's blocking edges can reference real identifiers. Use the platform's native blocking / sub-issue relationship where it has one; otherwise set each ticket's "Blocked by" to the blocking issues. Apply the `ready-for-agent` triage label unless instructed otherwise; the tickets are agent-grabbable by construction.
64
+
65
+ Work the **frontier**: any ticket whose blockers are all done. For a purely linear chain that means top to bottom.
66
+
67
+ Do NOT close or modify any parent issue.

+

+ <local-ticket-template>

+

+
73
+ **What to build:** the end-to-end behaviour this ticket makes work, from the user's perspective, not a layer-by-layer implementation list.
74
+
75
+ **Blocked by:** the numbers/titles of the tickets that gate this one, or "None (can start immediately)".
