Setup Matt Pocock's Skills
Scaffold the per-repo configuration that the engineering skills assume:
- Issue tracker — where issues live (GitHub by default; local markdown is also supported out of the box)
- Triage labels — the strings used for the five canonical triage roles
- Domain docs — where
CONTEXT.md and ADRs live, and the consumer rules for reading them
This is a prompt-driven skill, not a deterministic script. Explore, present what you found, confirm with the user, then write.
Process
1. Explore
Look at the current repo to understand its starting state. Read whatever exists; don't assume:
git remote -v and .git/config — is this a GitHub repo? Which one?AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md at the repo root — does either exist? Is there already an ## Agent skills section in either?CONTEXT.md and CONTEXT-MAP.md at the repo rootdocs/adr/ and any src/*/docs/adr/ directoriesdocs/agents/ — does this skill's prior output already exist?.scratch/ — sign that a local-markdown issue tracker convention is already in use- Is the
triage skill installed? (a triage skill folder alongside this one, or triage in your available skills.) This decides whether Section B runs at all.
- Monorepo signals — a
pnpm-workspace.yaml, a workspaces field in package.json, or a populated packages/* with its own src/. Present only in a genuinely large multi-package repo; their absence means single-context, which is almost every repo.
2. Present findings and ask
Summarise what's present and what's missing. Then take the sections in order — one section, one answer, then the next.
Lead each section with the recommended answer so the user can accept it in a word. Give a one-line explainer only when the choice genuinely branches; skip the section entirely when exploration already settled it (Section B when triage isn't installed, Section C when there's no monorepo).
Section A — Issue tracker.
Explainer: The "issue tracker" is where issues live for this repo. Skills like , , and read from and write to it — they need to know whether to call , write a markdown file under , or follow some other workflow you describe. Pick the place you actually track work for this repo.
