setup-matt-pocock-skills

setup-matt-pocock-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinvcn/mattpocock-skills-zh-CN. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,719 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A one-time setup guide for configuring a repository so other engineering skills know its issue tracker, triage labels, domain documentation, and architecture-decision locations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before the repository’s other engineering skills, particularly when setting up issue tracking, domain docs, architectural records, or local Markdown tickets.
Why use it?
Without this shared setup, skills may publish work to the wrong place or use inconsistent project terminology and documentation paths.

About the project

mattpocock-skills-zh-CN is a Simplified Chinese localization of a collection of reusable instructions for coding agents. Chinese-speaking developers use the translated skills to support engineering workflows while keeping their original commands, paths, identifiers, and behavior. The catalogue contains the localized skills, instructions, and plugin components.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup-matt-pocock-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 18d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

配置 Matt Pocock 的 Skills

搭建 engineering skills 所假定的每仓库配置:

  • Issue tracker - issues 存放在哪里(默认 GitHub;也原生支持 local markdown)
  • Triage labels - 五个 canonical triage roles 使用的字符串
  • Domain docs - GLOSSARY.md 与 ADRs 的位置,以及读取它们的 consumer rules

这是 prompt-driven skill,不是确定性脚本。先探索,展示发现,与用户确认,然后写入。

流程

1. 探索

查看当前 repo,理解起始状态。读取已有内容,不要假设:

  • git remote -v 和 .git/config - 这是 GitHub repo 吗?是哪一个?
  • repo root 的 AGENTS.md 和 CLAUDE.md - 是否存在?其中是否已有 ## Agent skills section?
  • repo root 的 GLOSSARY.md 和 GLOSSARY-MAP.md
  • docs/adr/ 以及任何 src/*/docs/adr/ directories
  • docs/agents/ - 这个 skill 之前是否已经输出过内容?
  • .scratch/ - 表明已经在使用 local-markdown issue tracker 约定
  • 是否已安装 triage skill(本 skill 旁边有 triage folder,或 available skills 中存在 triage)?这决定 Section B 是否运行。
  • Monorepo signals:pnpm-workspace.yaml、package.json 的 workspaces field,或已有内容且各自带 src/ 的 packages/*。只有真正的大型 multi-package repo 才算;没有这些 signal 就是 single-context,几乎所有 repo 都如此。

2. 呈现发现并询问

总结已有内容和缺失内容。按顺序处理 sections:每次一个 section、一个回答,再进入下一个。

每个 section 都先给 recommended answer,让用户一个词就能接受。只有 choice 真正分叉时才给一行 explainer;exploration 已经确定答案时跳过整个 section(未安装 triage 时跳过 Section B;没有 monorepo 时跳过 Section C)。

Section A - Issue tracker.

Explainer: "issue tracker" 是这个 repo 存放 issues 的地方。to-tickets、triage 和 to-spec 等 skills 会从中读取并写入;它们需要知道是调用 gh issue create、在 .scratch/ 下写 markdown 文件,还是遵循你描述的其他工作流。请选择你实际用于跟踪这个 repo 工作的位置。

默认姿态:这些 skills 是为 GitHub 设计的。如果 git remote 指向 GitHub,推荐 GitHub。如果 git remote 指向 GitLab(gitlab.com 或 self-hosted host),推荐 GitLab。否则(或用户偏好),提供:

  • GitHub - issues 位于 repo 的 GitHub Issues(使用 gh CLI)
  • GitLab - issues 位于 repo 的 GitLab Issues(使用 glab CLI)
  • Local markdown - issues 作为文件位于本 repo 的 .scratch/<feature>/ 下(适合个人项目或没有 remote 的 repos)
  • Other(Jira、Linear 等)- 让用户用一段话描述工作流;skill 会把它记录为 freeform prose

把选择记录到 docs/agents/issue-tracker.md。GitHub 和 GitLab templates 带有 “PRs as a request surface” flag,默认 off;保持关闭且不要提问。想把 external PRs 放入 triage queue 的用户可以之后直接修改文件。

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
