5 Agent Skills I Use Every Day to Encode My Development Process
Matt Pocock, a seasoned engineer, shares 5 agent skills he uses daily to encode rigorous, repeatable processes for LLM agents, addressing their lack of memory and tendency to drift. Key skills include: grill-me (exhaustive questioning before coding), to-prd (turning discussions into PRDs), to-issues (slicing PRDs into vertical issues), tdd (forcing red-green-refactor cycles for quality), and improve-codebase-architecture (identifying shallow modules for deepening). The core insight: short, well-crafted skills can dramatically boost agent output quality.
