Source evidence

mattpocock/skills v1.2 is out!

We're now the 19th most-starred repo of all time. 13.5m downloads on skills​.sh. Thanks for your support!

Here's what's new:

  • Docs: the community's biggest ask. Every skill documented, with explanations of the main flows + troubleshooting
  • Claude Plugin: install via Claude's official marketplace
  • Codex Support: full Codex support via agents/openai.yaml files

Updated Skills:

  • /grilling now asks you questions in rounds, not one-by-one
  • /prototype now uses HTML instead of a TUI for building logic prototypes - easier to share and far richer
  • /writing-for-agents renamed from /writing-great-skills, use it for ANYTHING your agents read (AGENTS.md, system prompts, docs)

New Skills:

  • /wizard: tired of provisioning infra? Get your agent to build you a TUI to walk you through it
  • /to-questionnaire: hit a grilling question you can't answer? Turn the session into a doc you can walk through on a call with a colleague
  • /wait-what: no idea what the model said? Refocus it in your domain language and simplify with ASD-STE100
