Skills For Real Engineers

Skills For Real Engineers is a public MIT-licensed GitHub repository by Matt Pocock containing the agent skills he uses for software engineering work. The project is positioned as a collection of small, adaptable, composable skills for coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and other agentic developer tools. It includes a quickstart installer via npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills, lets users choose which skills and coding agents to install them on, and includes setup that asks about issue tracker preferences such as GitHub, Linear, or local files, triage labels, and documentation storage location. The repository is intended to help address common coding-agent failure modes such as misalignment while keeping engineers in control of the development process.
