What it does

Real engineering skills from a well-known TypeScript educator's own .agents folder.

My agent skills that I use every day to do real engineering - not vibe coding.

Developing real applications is hard. Approaches like GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit try to help by owning the process. But while doing so, they take away your control and make bugs in the process hard to resolve.

Quoted from the README of mattpocock/skills.
