TheBlackCat Site Skill
The agent-side operating manual for this library: bookmark pipeline, blog draft-flag flow, weekly triage, and the Hugo site model — mirrored verbatim from the Hermes skill.
Wizard
Generate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through steps only they can perform. Use when provisioning infrastructure, setting up credentials or CI secrets, walking an unfamiliar third-party dashboard, or running a one-off migration or cutover. Don't invoke this for steps the agent can perform itself.
Wayfinder
Plan a huge chunk of work — more than one agent session can hold — as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.
Wait What
Stop. That last message did not land — re-pitch it.
Triage
Move issues and external PRs through a state machine of triage roles — categorise, verify, grill if needed, and write agent-ready briefs.
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.
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 Questionnaire
Turn a decision you can't fully answer into a questionnaire for someone else to fill in.
Setup Matt Pocock Skills
Configure this repo for the engineering skills — set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run once before first use of the other engineering skills.
Resolving Merge Conflicts
Use when you need to resolve an in-progress git merge/rebase conflict.
Research
Investigate a question against high-trust primary sources and capture the findings as a Markdown file in the repo. Use when the user wants a topic researched, docs or API facts gathered, or reading legwork delegated to a background agent.
Loop Me
Grill me about specs for the workflows I want to build, within this workspace.
Implement
Implement a piece of work based on a spec or set of tickets.
Handoff
Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.
Grilling
Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea. Use when the user wants to stress-test their thinking, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases.
Grill With Docs
A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.
Grill Me
A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design.
Greek & Hebrew Word Study
Rigorous linguistic and lexical analysis framework for biblical Greek (Koine) and biblical Hebrew/Aramaic words, integrating Strong's concordance, morphological parsing, semantic ranges, Septuagint (LXX) mapping, and fallacy prevention.
Domain Modeling
Build and sharpen a project's domain model. Use when discussing codebase terminology, writing or editing a CONTEXT.md, or recording or editing an ADR.
Diagnosing Bugs
Diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions. Use when the user says "diagnose"/"debug this", or reports something broken/throwing/failing/slow.
Cross-Testament Typology
Theological framework for analyzing biblical typology, intertestamental Old-to-New Testament connections, Christological fulfillment trajectories, and covenantal continuity while preventing allegorical over-interpretation.
Codebase Design
Shared vocabulary for designing deep modules. Use when the user wants to design or improve a module's interface, find deepening opportunities, decide where a seam goes, make code more testable or AI-navigable, or when another skill needs the deep-module vocabulary.
Code Review
Review the changes since a fixed point (commit, branch, tag, or merge-base) along two axes — Standards (does the code follow this repo's documented coding standards?) and Spec (does the code match what the originating issue/spec asked for?). Runs both reviews in parallel sub-agents and reports them side by side. Use when the user wants to review a branch, a PR, work-in-progress changes, or asks to "review since X".
BlackCat Bookmark Skill
The Hermes Agent skill that automates adding bookmarks to this very library — the agent-side half of the Git-native workflow this repo is built around.
Biblical Exegete
Comprehensive 9-part scholarly framework for exegetical analysis of Scripture passages, chapters, and books across historical, cultural, literary, original-language (Greek/Hebrew), and theological dimensions.
Ask Matt
Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the skills in this repo.
Analyze Repo
Deeply analyze a public GitHub repository by cloning it and applying a structured reverse-engineering framework. Trigger on phrases such as deeply analyze this GitHub repo, analyze this GitHub repo, deep analysis of repo, or when a GitHub URL is provided with an analysis request.
