Learning Matt Pocock's Skills

Working through mattpocock/skills — the methodology, the authoring craft, and how to adopt it.

Lessons

1. The thesis & the four failure modes — why the repo exists, and the map of what every skill fixes.
2. The engineering flow, end to end — idea → ship: the main flow, and where each skill sits on it.
3. The invocation model — user- vs model-invoked, the two loads you spend, and why routers exist.

More lessons land here as the course grows: the engineering flow end-to-end, the invocation model, information hierarchy, leading words, authoring failure modes, and adoption.
