mattpocock-skills

mattpocock-skills is a plugin for Claude Code from karlarao/afk. Its manifest loads nothing; the 13 skills it bundles cost 836 tokens per session together, scanned A, a copy of mattpocock-skills, MIT.

A collection of coding and productivity workflows from Matt Pocock’s AI Hero courses. It includes tools for diagnosing issues, testing with TDD, planning work, improving architecture, prototyping, and running tasks while you are away.

What is it for?

Security

Grade A, and why

mattpocock-skills scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
