Skills For Real Engineers
My agent skills that I use every day to do real engineering - not vibe coding.
Developing real applications is hard. Approaches like GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit try to help by owning the process. But while doing so, they take away your control and make bugs in the process hard to resolve.
These skills are designed to be small, easy to adapt, and composable. They work with any model. They're based on decades of engineering experience. Hack around with them. Make them your own. Enjoy.
If you want to keep up with changes to these skills, and any new ones I create, you can join ~60,000 other devs on my newsletter:
Installation (30-second setup)
Two ways in, two philosophies. The Claude Code plugin installs the whole set as a managed, read-only bundle that updates when I ship, so you subscribe rather than fork. skills.sh copies editable skill files into your project, so you can hack on them and make them your own. Pick one: installing both leaves you with every skill twice.
