A public repository of example skills for Claude, demonstrating how to create reusable instructions and resources for specialized tasks.
Adversarial AI bug hunter with auto-fix skill for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Kiro CLI, Opencode, Pi Coding Agent, and more. Multi-agent pipeline finds security vulnerabilities, logic errors, and runtime bugs — then fixes them autonomously on a safe branch.
This repository contains a set of skills that help AI coding agents do real engineering work, not just vibe coding. The skills are small, easy to modify, and work with any AI model. You can install them via a plugin or copy them into your project to customize.
Skills for Real Engineers is a curated set of agent skills created by Matt Pocock, aimed at solving common failure modes in AI-assisted software development. Unlike monolithic frameworks like GSD or BMAD, these skills are designed to be small, composable, and adaptable, giving developers full control. They work with any model and can be installed via a Claude Code plugin (managed, read-only, auto-updating) or via the skills.sh installer (editable files in your repo). The setup process includes running /setup-matt-pocock-skills to configure issue tracker, labels, and docs location. The skills address issues like misalignment between developer intent and agent output, and are based on decades of engineering experience. The repository is actively maintained, with a large community following, and includes documentation, ADRs, and a changeset-based release process.
