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 a CONTEXT.md with 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.
