Grilling session that also builds the project's domain model — sharpening terminology, updating CONTEXT.md, and recording architecture decisions as ADRs. Use for new projects, complex features, or when the team's vocabulary is drifting. Builds shared language that makes all future sessions cheaper.

    setup-matt-pocock-skills

    Configure this repo for the engineering skills — set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run once before first use of the other engineering skills.

    decision-mapping

    Turn a loose idea into a sequenced map of investigation tickets, then drive them to resolution one at a time.

  • LesaniSkill

    writing-beats

    Shape an article as a journey of beats, choose-your-own-adventure style. The user picks a starting beat from the raw material, you write only that beat, then offer options for where to pivot next, beat by beat, until the article reaches a natural end. Use when the user has raw material and wants to assemble it as a narrative rather than an argument.

    setup-ts-deep-modules

    Wire dependency-cruiser into a TypeScript repo so each package is a deep module — implementation hidden in subfolders, reachable only through its entry-point files. User-invoked.

    migrate-to-shoehorn

    Migrate test files from `as` type assertions to @total-typescript/shoehorn. Use when user mentions shoehorn, wants to replace `as` in tests, or needs partial test data.

    writing-shape

    Take a markdown file of raw material and shape it into an article through a conversational session — drafting candidate openings, growing the piece paragraph by paragraph, arguing about format (lists, tables, callouts, quotes) at each step. Use when the user has a pile of notes, fragments, or a rough draft and wants help turning it into something publishable.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 181 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Check for existing docs: CONTEXT.md, docs/adr/*.md, project AGENTS.md.

    line 15
  2. Distinctive:

    Run the grill-me interview.

    line 20
  3. Distinctive:

    Domain terms: when the user names something with precision ("the materialization cascade", "the scroll-docked header"), capture the term + …

    line 22
  4. Very specific:

    Decisions: when the user chooses between approaches, that's an ADR — record context, decision, consequences in docs/adr/{NNNN}-{slug}.md …

    line 24
  5. Distinctive:

    Update CONTEXT.md/ADRs inline during the grilling — don't defer to "later"

    line 50

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 181 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Grill-With-Docs — Alignment + Domain Model

Same as grill-me, but the outcome is written down: a shared language document (CONTEXT.md) and architecture decision records (docs/adr/). Matt Pocock calls the shared language the single most powerful technique in the skills library — jargon costs tokens every session it goes undocumented.

Before grilling

Check for existing docs: CONTEXT.md, docs/adr/*.md, project AGENTS.md. Load them — if a term is already defined, don't redefine it.

During grilling

Run the grill-me interview. As terms crystallize:

  • Domain terms: when the user names something with precision ("the materialization cascade", "the scroll-docked header"), capture the term + one-line definition
  • Decisions: when the user chooses between approaches, that's an ADR — record context, decision, consequences in docs/adr/{NNNN}-{slug}.md (Numbered, dated, supersedes links)

Outputs

  1. CONTEXT.md — glossary of project terms + one-paragraph domain summary. Terms: **term** — definition. one per line. It is read by every future session (explore, test, implement) so output stays aligned
  2. docs/adr/ — one file per decision, format:
# {NNNN}. {Title}

Date: YYYY-MM-DD
Status: accepted

## Context
## Decision
## Consequences
  1. The aligned implementation summary (goal, scope, non-goals)

Rules

  • Update CONTEXT.md/ADRs inline during the grilling — don't defer to "later"
  • Terminology wins when code and docs conflict? No — flag the conflict; never silently rename in code
  • ADRs are for decisions that are expensive to change (architecture, conventions), not trivial choices

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
