# Ask Matt ## When to Use Use when this workflow matches the user request: Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the user-invoked skills in this repo. _Source: [mattpocock/skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) (MIT)._ You don't remember every skill, so ask. A **flow** is a path through the skills. Most paths run along one **main flow**, and two **on-ramps** merge onto it. Everything else is standalone. ## The main flow: idea → ship The route most work travels. You have an idea and want it built. 1. **`/grill-with-docs`** — sharpen the idea by interview. Start here when you **have a codebase**: it's stateful, retaining what it learns in `CONTEXT.md` and ADRs. (No codebase? Use `/grill-me` — see Standalone.) 2. **Branch — can you settle every question in conversation?** If a question needs a runnable answer (state, business logic, a UI you have to see), detour through a prototype, bridged by **`/handoff`** in both directions (see Crossing sessions): - **`/handoff`** out, then open a fresh session against that file, - **`/prototype`** to answer the question with throwaway code, - **`/handoff`** back what you learned, and reference it from the original idea

About this skill
What does the ask-matt skill do?

Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the user-invoked skills in this repo.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill ask-matt --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
