Configure repo for engineering skills workflow
Bootstrap repo configuration for engineering skills by setting up issue tracker, triage labels, and domain doc conventions.
15.16.0Add to Favorites
Why it matters
Set up a repository's issue tracker configuration, triage label vocabulary, and domain documentation layout so that other engineering skills can read from and write to the correct locations when automating development workflows.
Outcomes
What it gets done
Detect existing repo structure including issue tracker type, agent documentation, and domain docs
Guide user through selecting issue tracker (GitHub, GitLab, local markdown, or custom)
Configure triage label vocabulary mapping for the five canonical issue states
Write configuration files documenting issue tracker, labels, and domain doc layout for other skills

Free account needed to copy or download. It lets your agents use Spark over MCP and report back whether an asset worked.
Run in your project directory:

Overview
Setup Matt Pocock's Skills
Scaffolds per-repository configuration for Matt Pocock's engineering skills: issue tracker location, triage label vocabulary, and domain documentation layout. Run once before first use of other engineering skills in the mattpocock/skills collection to establish foundational configuration.
What it does
This skill scaffolds the per-repository configuration that Matt Pocock's engineering skills require. It establishes three foundational elements: the issue tracker location (GitHub, GitLab, local markdown, or custom), the triage label vocabulary for issue state management, and the domain documentation layout (single-context or multi-context). This is a prompt-driven skill, not a deterministic script.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use this skill once before first use of other engineering skills in the mattpocock/skills collection. Run it when you need to configure a repository for skills like to-issues, triage, to-prd, qa, improve-codebase-architecture, diagnosing-bugs, or tdd. Do not run this skill if your repository is already configured with docs/agents/*.md files unless you want to switch issue trackers or restart from scratch - you can edit those files directly instead.
Inputs and outputs
You provide answers to three interactive decision sections: (A) where issues are tracked for this repo, (B) the label strings used for the five canonical triage roles (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix), and (C) whether the repo has a single global context or multiple contexts. The skill explores your repository structure first, reading .git/config, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, CONTEXT.md, docs/adr/, and .scratch/ to understand the starting state.
The skill writes three configuration files under docs/agents/ (issue-tracker.md, triage-labels.md, domain.md) and adds or updates an ## Agent skills block in either CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md:
Issue tracker
[one-line summary of where issues are tracked, plus whether external PRs are a triage surface]. 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.
```
Integrations
Supports GitHub Issues (uses the gh CLI), GitLab Issues (uses the glab CLI), local markdown (issues as files under .scratch/<feature>/), or custom issue trackers. For GitHub and GitLab, external pull requests can optionally be included as a triage surface.
Who it's for
Engineering teams and solo developers using Matt Pocock's skills collection who need to configure a repository for the first time.
