The Agent Skills I Use for Development

Short summary

The author reveals seven AI agent skills for development: Grill Me (stress-testing plans), PRD (converting discussions to specs), To Issue (creating GitHub issues from plans), To Task (breaking issues into sub-tasks), Implement (TDD-based coding), Explore (codebase analysis), and Sprint Planning (orchestrating the above). Most skills originate from Matt Pocock's public repository with custom GitHub MCP modifications. The author emphasizes planning-phase tools as most valuable, noting that agent-assisted coding excels at small, boilerplate-heavy tasks when work is properly decomposed.

• •Seven reusable agent skills for planning, task breakdown, and implementation workflows
• •Planning-phase tools (Grill Me, PRD, issue creation) prove most effective for reducing hallucinations
• •Agent-assisted coding works best for small tasks with clear requirements and boilerplate patterns
