What Setup Matt Pocock's Skills does
Setup Matt Pocock's Skills is designed to streamline the configuration of engineering skills within your repository. This skill helps establish where issues are tracked, define triage labels, and organize domain documentation. It is particularly useful for teams or individuals looking to standardize their workflows and ensure that all necessary components are in place before utilizing other engineering skills.
The skill operates through a prompt-driven process rather than a rigid script. It begins by exploring the current state of the repository, examining elements such as the remote configuration, existing documentation, and any current issue tracking setups. This exploration phase ensures that the skill adapts to the specific context of the repository, providing recommendations based on the findings.
Once the initial exploration is complete, the skill presents its findings to the user, allowing for a collaborative approach to configuration. Users can confirm or modify recommendations for the issue tracker, triage labels, and domain documentation layout. This flexibility is crucial for accommodating various repository setups, whether they are single-context or multi-context environments.
Finally, the skill writes the necessary configuration into the appropriate documentation files, ensuring that all subsequent engineering skills can access and utilize this information effectively. This setup process is ideal for developers and teams who want to establish a clear and organized approach to managing issues and documentation in their projects.
When to use it
Use this skill when setting up a new repository or when you need to standardize the configuration of engineering skills across multiple projects.
When not to use it
This skill is not suitable for users who prefer manual configuration or those working with highly customized workflows that do not align with the provided options.
What you can build with it
New Repository Setup
When starting a new project, use this skill to quickly establish a standardized configuration for issue tracking and documentation.
Standardizing Existing Repositories
If you have multiple repositories, this skill can help ensure they all follow the same configuration for engineering skills.
Adapting to Team Changes
When team members change or new workflows are introduced, this skill can help reconfigure the repository to align with updated processes.

搭建 engineering skills 所假定的每仓库配置:
- Issue tracker - issues 存放在哪里(默认 GitHub;也原生支持 local markdown)
- Triage labels - 五个 canonical triage roles 使用的字符串
- Domain docs -
CONTEXT.md与 ADRs 的位置,以及读取它们的 consumer rules
这是 prompt-driven skill,不是确定性脚本。先探索,展示发现,与用户确认,然后写入。
Process
1. Explore
查看当前 repo,理解起始状态。读取已有内容,不要假设:
git remote -v和.git/config- 这是 GitHub repo 吗?是哪一个?- repo root 的
AGENTS.md和CLAUDE.md- 是否存在?其中是否已有## Agent skillssection? - repo root 的
CONTEXT.md和CONTEXT-MAP.md docs/adr/以及任何src/*/docs/adr/directoriesdocs/agents/- 这个 skill 之前是否已经输出过内容?.scratch/- 表明已经在使用 local-markdown issue tracker 约定- 是否已安装
triageskill(本 skill 旁边有triagefolder,或 available skills 中存在triage)?这决定 Section B 是否运行。 - Monorepo signals:
pnpm-workspace.yaml、package.json的workspacesfield,或已有内容且各自带src/的packages/*。只有真正的大型 multi-package repo 才算;没有这些 signal 就是 single-context,几乎所有 repo 都如此。
2. Present findings and ask
总结已有内容和缺失内容。按顺序处理 sections:每次一个 section、一个回答,再进入下一个。
每个 section 都先给 recommended answer,让用户一个词就能接受。只有 choice 真正分叉时才给一行 explainer;exploration 已经确定答案时跳过整个 section(未安装 triage 时跳过 Section B;没有 monorepo 时跳过 Section C)。
Section A - Issue tracker.
Explainer: "issue tracker" 是这个 repo 存放 issues 的地方。
to-tickets、triage、to-spec和qa等 skills 会从中读取并写入;它们需要知道是调用gh issue create、在.scratch/下写 markdown 文件,还是遵循你描述的其他工作流。请选择你实际用于跟踪这个 repo 工作的位置。
默认姿态:这些 skills 是为 GitHub 设计的。如果 git remote 指向 GitHub,推荐 GitHub。如果 git remote 指向 GitLab(gitlab.com 或 self-hosted host),推荐 GitLab。否则(或用户偏好),提供:
- GitHub - issues 位于 repo 的 GitHub Issues(使用
ghCLI) - GitLab - issues 位于 repo 的 GitLab Issues(使用
glabCLI) - Local markdown - issues 作为文件位于本 repo 的
.scratch/<feature>/下(适合个人项目或没有 remote 的 repos) - Other(Jira、Linear 等)- 让用户用一段话描述工作流;skill 会把它记录为 freeform prose
把选择记录到 docs/agents/issue-tracker.md。GitHub 和 GitLab templates 带有 “PRs as a request surface” flag,默认 off;保持关闭且不要提问。想把 external PRs 放入 triage queue 的用户可以之后直接修改文件。
Section B - Triage label vocabulary. 如果未安装 triage,完全跳过本 section;未安装的 skill 不需要 labels。
如果已安装,只问一个问题:
是否保留默认 triage labels?(recommended: yes)
默认值是五个 canonical roles,label string 与 role name 相同:needs-triage、needs-info、ready-for-agent、ready-for-human、wontfix。回答 yes 就原样写入。只有用户说 no(通常因为 tracker 已使用其他名称,例如用 bug:triage 表示 needs-triage)时,才收集 overrides,避免 triage 创建重复 labels。
Section C - Domain docs. 默认 single-context:repo root 下一个 CONTEXT.md + docs/adr/。这适合几乎所有 repo,直接写入,无需提问。
只有 exploration 找到 monorepo signals 时,才提供 multi-context(root 下 CONTEXT-MAP.md 指向每个 context 的 CONTEXT.md files),并确认用户想要哪种 layout。
3. Confirm and edit
向用户展示草稿:
- 要添加到
CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md的## Agent skillsblock(选择规则见 step 4) docs/agents/issue-tracker.md、docs/agents/domain.md,以及仅在安装了triage时才有的docs/agents/triage-labels.md内容
写入前允许用户修改。
4. Write
选择要编辑的文件:
- 如果
CLAUDE.md存在,编辑它。 - 否则如果
AGENTS.md存在,编辑它。 - 如果两者都不存在,询问用户要创建哪一个;不要替用户选择。
当 CLAUDE.md 已存在时,绝不创建 AGENTS.md(反之亦然);始终编辑已经存在的那个。
如果所选文件已有 ## Agent skills block,就原地更新其内容,而不是追加重复 block。不要覆盖周围 sections 的用户编辑。
Block:
## Agent skills
### Issue tracker
[one-line summary of where issues are tracked]. See `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md`.
### Triage labels
[one-line summary of the label vocabulary]. See `docs/agents/triage-labels.md`.
### Domain docs
[one-line summary of layout - "single-context" or "multi-context"]. See `docs/agents/domain.md`.
只有安装了 triage 且 Section B 实际运行时,才包含 ### Triage labels sub-block 并写入 docs/agents/triage-labels.md;否则两者都省略。
然后使用本 skill folder 中的 seed templates 作为起点写 docs files:
- issue-tracker-github.md - GitHub issue tracker
- issue-tracker-gitlab.md - GitLab issue tracker
- issue-tracker-local.md - local-markdown issue tracker
- triage-labels.md - label mapping(仅当安装了
triage) - domain.md - domain doc consumer rules + layout
对于 "other" issue trackers,根据用户描述从头写 docs/agents/issue-tracker.md。
5. Done
告诉用户 setup 已完成,以及哪些 engineering skills 现在会读取这些文件。说明他们之后可以直接编辑 docs/agents/*.md;只有当他们想切换 issue trackers 或从头开始时,才需要重新运行此 skill。
