User-invoked (you type them): ask-matt, grill-me, grill-with-docs, triage, improve-codebase-architecture, setup-matt-pocock-skills, to-issues, to-prd, prototype, handoff, teach, writing-great-skills
Model-invoked (agent reaches for automatically): diagnosing-bugs, tdd, domain-modeling, codebase-design, grilling
User-invoked may invoke model-invoked. Never the reverse.
Creates, edits, and optimizes skills for Claude Code, including drafting, evaluating with test prompts, iterating on performance, and improving skill descriptions for better triggering accuracy.
