Scaffold Exercises Create exercise directory structures with sections, problems, solutions, and explainers that pass linting. Setup Matt Pocock Skills Configure this repo for the engineering skills: set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Setup Pre-Commit Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged (Prettier), type checking, and tests in the current repo. Setup TS Deep Modules Wire dependency-cruiser into a TypeScript repo so each package is a deep module, with implementation hidden in subfolders and reachable only through its entry-point files. TDD Test-driven development. Teach Teach the user a new skill or concept, within this workspace. To Questionnaire Turn a decision you can't fully answer into a questionnaire for someone else to fill in. To Spec Turn the current conversation into a spec and publish it to the project issue tracker: no interview, just synthesis of what you've already discussed. To Tickets Break a plan, spec, or the current conversation into a set of tracer-bullet tickets, each declaring its blocking edges, published to the configured tracker (edges as text in one file per ticket locally, or native blocking links on a real tracker).
