The highest-signal personal skills collection in the ecosystem (256k stars), organized by failure mode.

Matt Pocock (Total TypeScript) publishes his personal .agents directory: TDD, code review, docs-grilling, and other skills that grew out of his daily Claude Code usage. The organizing principle is failure modes — each skill exists because agents kept getting a specific class of task wrong. The collection other skill authors benchmark against (last pushed September 2026).

What it does

  • Matt Pocock's personal agent-skill set — small, composable skills for real engineering work
  • Explicitly anti-framework: designed to keep you in control rather than own the process
  • Two install paths: official Claude Code plugin, or skills.sh for editable copies
  • Model-agnostic — works with any agent that reads skill files

When to use it

For engineers who dislike heavyweight agentic frameworks (GSD, BMAD-style) and want hackable, disposable skills they can read and modify.

Getting started

Claude Code (official marketplace):

claude plugins install mattpocock-skills

Other agents:

npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills

Pick one — installing both duplicates every skill.

Things to know

Personal skill set — reflects one engineer's workflow; expect to adapt rather than adopt wholesale.

  • geo-sleuth

    Skill

    An agent skill that geolocates a photo with nothing readable in it — OSM geometry, elevation skylines and satellite tiles turn “where was this taken?” into a measured answer with an error radius.
