Matt Pocock 5c3c49df1a feat(wayfinder): make the map collaborative via the issue tracker
Move the map off a local Markdown file and onto the repo's configured
issue tracker. The map is a single wayfinder:map issue whose tickets are
its child issues — one shared URL the team can watch and comment on.

Blocking, claiming (wayfinder:claimed), and the frontier query use native
tracker semantics; a session loads the map at low resolution (Notes +
per-closed-ticket context pointers + Fog prose) and zooms into tickets on
demand. Per-tracker mechanics live behind the docs/agents/issue-tracker.md
pointer, so setup-matt-pocock-skills seeds a "Wayfinding operations"
section for GitHub, GitLab, and local-markdown; absent that doc, Wayfinder
defaults to local-markdown.

Engineering

Skills I use daily for code work.

User-invoked

Reachable only when you type them (disable-model-invocation: true).

  • ask-matt — Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the user-invoked skills in this repo.
  • grill-with-docs — Grilling session that also builds your project's domain model, sharpening terminology and updating CONTEXT.md and ADRs inline.
  • triage — Move issues through a state machine of triage roles.
  • improve-codebase-architecture — Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.
  • setup-matt-pocock-skills — Configure this repo for the engineering skills (issue tracker, triage labels, domain doc layout). Run once per repo.
  • to-issues — Break any plan, spec, or PRD into independently-grabbable issues using vertical slices.
  • to-prd — Turn the current conversation into a PRD and publish it to the issue tracker.

Model-invoked

Model- or user-reachable (rich trigger phrasing so the model can reach for them).

  • prototype — Build a throwaway prototype to answer a design question: a runnable terminal app for state/logic, or several toggleable UI variations.

  • diagnosing-bugs — Disciplined diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions: reproduce → minimise → hypothesise → instrument → fix → regression-test.

  • tdd — Test-driven development with a red-green-refactor loop. Builds features or fixes bugs one vertical slice at a time.

  • domain-modeling — Actively build and sharpen a project's domain model — challenge terms, stress-test with scenarios, update CONTEXT.md and ADRs inline.

  • codebase-design — Shared discipline and vocabulary for designing deep modules: small interfaces, clean seams, testable through the interface.

  • code-review — Two-axis review of the diff since a fixed point: Standards (does it follow the repo's coding standards, plus a Fowler smell baseline?) and Spec (does it faithfully implement the originating issue/PRD?), run as parallel sub-agents.
