Description
We use Matt Pocock's skills plugin when working on this repo with Claude Code,
but the repo carries none of the setup those skills expect. Reviewing #789 hit
this straight away: /code-review looks for docs/agents/issue-tracker.md to
learn how to fetch an issue, the file is absent, and the skill told me to run
/setup-matt-pocock-skills first.
/setup-matt-pocock-skills is the documented precondition for the whole set.
It configures three things:
- the issue tracker the skills read from, which can be GitHub Issues,
- the triage labels. This repo has no labels at all today,
- the doc layout under
docs/that the skills expect.
What adopting it would buy:
/triagegives a route for reports that arrive from other people. That is
most of our open issues, and the oldest is from 2019./code-reviewreviews a branch on two axes, standards and spec. It needs
written standards to work well, which is why #793 and #794 should land
first.
Two things to settle before doing this:
- Does this belong in a public repo that 8,000 people clone? Contributors do
not have the plugin, so the config has to be harmless to anyone without it. - Labels are visible to everyone who files an issue. Agree the set first.
Do #793 and #794 first. Both skills read what we write there, so setting
this up before we have written anything gives the skills nothing to work
from.

Research direction
Read #793 and #794 first, since this setup depends on the standards they establish. Inspect the existing docs/ layout and the expected docs/agents/issue-tracker.md entry point, then review the documented /setup-matt-pocock-skills behavior. Done means the agreed labels, issue-tracker configuration, and docs layout are present and harmless for contributors without the plugin.
