Use when you need Matt Pocock's engineering workflow patterns: spec synthesis, deep-module design, domain modeling, two-axis code review, or disciplined bug diagnosis. A meta-skill covering five complementary sub-patterns for real engineering — not vibe coding.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Matt Pocock Dev Workflows A meta-skill packaging five engineering disciplines from [Matt Pocock's skills repository](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) (130K+ stars, TypeScript expert). These skills are designed to be **small, composable, and adaptable** — they work with any model on any codebase. ## Overview Matt Pocock built these skills to fix common failure modes with coding agents. The five sub-patterns here address five distinct failure modes: | # | Failure Mode | Sub-Pattern | Trigger | |---|-------------|-------------|---------| | 1 | The agent didn't do what you wanted (misalignment) | **to-spec** | Synthesize conversation into a spec on the tracker | | 2 | The agent builds a ball of mud (code entropy) | **codebase-design** | Design deep modules with clean interfaces | | 3 | The agent is way too verbose (no shared language) | **domain-modeling** | Build a shared domain glossary (CONTEXT.md) | | 4 | The code doesn't work (no feedback loops) | **diagnosing-bugs** | Disciplined 6-phase debug loop | | 5 | You can't tell if the change is good (no review discipline) | **code-review** | Two-axis review: Standards + Spec | …

How to install
mdr add jpeetz/agent-skills/mattpocock-dev-workflows@sha256:0132690fe0888f64The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
