SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Multiple engineering skills for Claude Code (including triage, to-issues, and tdd-hybrid) require consistent repo-specific context such as the issue tracker type, triage label vocabulary, and domain documentation layout. Without centralized configuration, each skill either guesses, asks repetitive onboarding questions, or assumes incorrect defaults (like GitHub for repos that use GitLab), leading to inconsistent behavior and wasted user effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detection of existing repo context: Inspects git remotes, existing AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md files, and current docs structure to avoid asking redundant questions.
  • Sequential guided configuration: Walks users through three key decisions (issue tracker, triage labels, domain docs layout) one at a time with plain-language explainers of why each choice matters for downstream skills.
  • Centralized config output: Writes a shared ## Agent skills block to AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md and three reference files under docs/agents/ that all downstream engineering skills read automatically.
  • Real-world use case: A team using GitLab with custom triage labels (like bug:triage instead of the default needs-triage) can map their actual label vocabulary once, and the triage skill will apply the correct labels without creating duplicates.

Quick Start

Use the setup-matt-pocock-skills skill to configure your repo's shared context for all downstream engineering skills before first use of tools like triage, to-issues, or tdd-hybrid.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Claude Code engineering skills for a GitLab repository?

Repo setup for Claude Code engineering skills centralizes issue tracker configuration, triage label vocabularies, and domain documentation layouts into AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md, ensuring downstream tools read the correct GitLab context without repetitive onboarding questions.

Why does the triage skill keep asking for issue tracker details every time I run it?

Without a centralized configuration in your repository, downstream skills lack the necessary context and must repeatedly ask for issue tracker details. This setup skill writes a shared configuration block to eliminate inconsistent behavior and repetitive onboarding prompts.

Can I use custom triage labels instead of the default GitHub labels with Claude Code?

Yes, the guided configuration lets you map your actual custom triage label vocabulary, such as specific bug or triage tags, so downstream skills apply the correct labels automatically without creating duplicates or assuming default GitHub labels.

Does repo context setup work for monorepos with multiple domain documentation layouts?

Yes, the configuration explicitly supports monorepos with multiple domain contexts. It inspects existing documentation structures and git remotes to provide a single source of truth for all downstream engineering skills operating across different domains.

What is the best way to unify context for multiple Claude Code engineering skills?

The best way to unify context is a one-time guided setup that writes shared configuration to AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md along with reference files under docs/agents/, allowing tools like triage, to-issues, and tdd-hybrid to read repo-specific settings automatically.

Do I need to manually edit AGENTS.md before running the engineering skills setup?

No, you do not need to manually edit AGENTS.md. The setup skill auto-detects existing repo context from git remotes and current docs, then sequentially guides you through writing the necessary configuration blocks automatically.
