Anyone tried mattpocock/skills for Claude Code? Here is what I found after a week
Been using the skills repo (77K stars, #1 on GitHub Trending recently) with Claude Code. Sharing what worked and what did not.
What worked well:
-
/grill-with-docs— the agent asks detailed questions before coding, then creates aCONTEXT.mdwith project-specific vocabulary. Every session after that is noticeably better. -
/caveman— if you already know what you want, this cuts agent verbosity to near zero. Underrated. -
/diagnose— structured debugging. Most useful when error messages are misleading.
What was mixed:
-
/tdd— great for isolated functions, but on complex UI components the test-first approach slows things down because tests are hard to specify upfront.
What I would skip initially:
- Most of the 28 skills. Start with 4:
/grill-with-docs,/tdd,/diagnose,/caveman. Add more later if needed.
Install:
npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills
Curious if others have tried it — especially interested in how /tdd works on larger projects.
