What it is
Skills for Real Engineers, a repository containing modular agent skills intended to be used with Claude/Codex-style models. It includes user-invoked and model-invoked skills for engineering workflows and productivity tasks, organized under sections like Engineering and Productivity.
How it works
The repository provides SKILL.md documents for each skill under skills/ paths, describing how to invoke or slot them into workflows. It supports installation via a shell installer and via Claude Code plugin, enabling either editable local usage or a read-only, up-to-date bundle.
Getting started
From README:
1. Run the skills.sh installer:
```bash
npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills
2. Pick the skills you want, and which coding agents you want to install them on. **Make sure you select `/setup-matt-pocock-skills`**.
3. Run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills` in your agent. It will:
- Ask you which issue tracker you want to use (GitHub, Linear, or local files)
- Ask you what labels you apply to tickets when you triage them (`/triage` uses labels)
- Ask you where you want to save any docs we create
4. Bam - you're ready to go.
Inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add mattpocock/skills /plugin install mattpocock-skills@mattpocock
Or from your shell:
claude plugin marketplace add mattpocock/skills claude plugin install mattpocock-skills@mattpocock
Then run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills` once per repo, exactly as in the quickstart above.
Two installation paths are described: skills.sh copies skills into the project; the plugin keeps them as a read-only bundle.
