Sets up an `## Agent skills` block in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md and `docs/agents/` so the engineering skills know this repo's issue tracker (GitHub or local…
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. If a git remote points at GitLab (gitlab.com or a self-hosted host), propose GitLab. Otherwise (or if the user prefers), offer: GitHub — issues live in the repo's GitHub Issues (uses the gh CLI) GitLab — issues live in the repo's GitLab Issues (uses the glab CLI) Local markdown — issues live as files under .scratch/<feature>/ in this repo (good for solo projects or repos without a remote) Other (Jira, Linear, etc.) — ask the user to describe the workflow in one paragraph; the skill will record it as freeform prose Section B — Triage label vocabulary. Explainer: When the triage skill processes an incoming issue, it moves it through a state machine — needs evaluation, waiting on reporter, ready for an AFK agent to pick up, ready for a human, or won't fix. To do that, it needs to apply labels (or the equivalent in your issue tracker) that match strings you've actually configured. If your repo already uses different label names (e.g. bug:triage instead of needs-triage), map them here so the skill applies the right ones instead of creating duplicates. The five canonical roles: needs-triage — maintainer needs to evaluate needs-info — waiting on reporter ready-for-agent — fully specified, AFK-ready (an agent can pick it up with no human context) ready-for-human — needs human implementation wontfix — will not be actioned Default: each role's string equals its name. Ask the user if they want to override any. If their issue tracker has no existing labels, the defaults are fine. Section C — Domain docs. Explainer: Some skills (improve-codebase-architecture, diagnose, tdd) read a CONTEXT.md file to learn the project's domain language, and docs/adr/ for past architectural decisions. They need to know whether the repo has one global context or multiple (e.g. a monorepo with separate frontend/backend contexts) so they look in the right place. Confirm the layout: Single-context — one CONTEXT.md + docs/adr/ at the repo root. Most repos are this. Multi-context — CONTEXT-MAP.md at the root pointing to per-context CONTEXT.md files (typically a monorepo). 3. Confirm and edit Show the user a draft of: The ## Agent skills block to add to whichever of CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md is being edited (see step 4 for selection rules) The contents of docs/agents/issue-tracker.md, docs/agents/triage-labels.md, docs/agents/domain.md Let them edit before writing. 4. Write Pick the file to edit: If CLAUDE.md exists, edit it. Else if AGENTS.md exists, edit it. If neither exists, ask the user which one to create — don't pick for them. Never create AGENTS.md when CLAUDE.md already exists (or vice versa) — always edit the one that's already there. If an ## Agent skills block already exists in the chosen file, update its contents in-place rather than appending a duplicate. Don't overwrite user edits to the surrounding sections. The block: ## Agent skills ### Issue tracker [one-line summary of where issues are tracked]. See `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md`. ### Triage labels [one-line summary of the label vocabulary]. See `docs/agents/triage-labels.md`. ### Domain docs [one-line summary of layout — "single-context" or "multi-context"]. See `docs/agents/domain.md`. Then write the three docs files using the seed templates in this skill folder as a starting point: issue-tracker-github.md — GitHub issue tracker issue-tracker-gitlab.md — GitLab issue tracker issue-tracker-local.md — local-markdown issue tracker triage-labels.md — label mapping domain.md — domain doc consumer rules + layout For "other" issue trackers, write docs/agents/issue-tracker.md from scratch using the user's description. 5. Done Tell the user the setup is complete and which engineering skills will now read from these files. Mention they can edit docs/agents/*.md directly later — re-running this skill is only necessary if they want to switch issue trackers or restart from scratch.
