What this skill does
Setup Matt Pocock's Skills Scaffold the per-repo configuration that the engineering skills assume: Issue tracker — where issues live (GitHub by default; local markdown is also supported out of the box) Triage labels — the strings used for the five canonical triage roles Domain docs — where CONTEXT.md and ADRs live, and the consumer rules for reading them This is a prompt-driven skill, not a deterministic script. Explore, present what you found, confirm with the user, then write. Process 1. Explore Look at the current repo to understand its starting state. Read whatever exists; don't assume: git remote -v and .git/config — is this a GitHub repo? Which one? AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md at the repo root — does either exist? Is there already an ## Agent skills section in either? CONTEXT.md and CONTEXT-MAP.md at the repo root docs/adr/ and any src//docs/adr/ directories docs/agents/ — does this skill's prior output already exist? .scratch/ — sign that a local-markdown issue tracker convention is already in use 2. Present findings and ask Summarise what's present and what's missing. Then walk the user through the three decisions one at a time — present a section, get the user's answer, then move to the next. Don't dump all three at once. Assume the user does not know what these terms mean. Each section starts with a short explainer (what it is, why these skills need it, what changes if they pick differently). Then show the choices and the default. Section A — Issue tracker. Explainer: The "issue tracker" is where issues live for this repo. Skills like to-issues, triage, to-prd, and qa read from and write to it — they need to know whether to call gh issue create, write a markdown file under .scratch/, or follow some other workflow you describe. Pick the place you actually track work for this repo. Default posture: these skills were designed for GitHub. If a git remote points at GitHub, propose that. …
