mattpocock/skills: Composable agent skills for real engineering workflows

Matt Pocock shares a collection of small, composable AI agent skills derived from his daily engineering practice. The repository positions itself against process-heavy frameworks like GSD or Spec-Kit, arguing that those approaches reduce developer control and complicate bug resolution. These skills are designed to be model-agnostic and highly adaptable, aiming to support actual application development rather than abstract coding vibes.

  • Prioritizes developer control over rigid, process-heavy AI frameworks
  • Skills are modular and model-agnostic for flexible integration
  • Based on mature engineering practices rather than experimental vibes
  • Designed for easy adaptation to specific project needs
  • Targets real-world application development challenges directly

Cursor introduces plugin spec with official tools for learning and CI workflows

The cursor/plugins repository defines the specification for standalone Cursor plugins, each containing a plugin.json manifest. Official releases include utilities for skill mapping, incremental memory updates for AGENTS.md, and internal team workflows covering CI and code review. This structure enables developers to extend the IDE with specialized automation and learning aids.

  • Plugins are standalone directories with a required plugin.json manifest at the root.
  • Official tooling supports incremental memory updates for AGENTS.md using high-signal bullets.
  • Team Kit plugin automates internal workflows like CI, code review, and local verification.
  • Teaching plugin provides skill mapping, practice plans, and learning retrospectives.

LibreDB Studio is an MIT-licensed, self-hosted SQL IDE for PostgreSQL that runs in the browser, deployable via container, Helm chart, or npm package. It operates alongside the database rather than on developer machines, using pooled connections and explicit transaction management with auto-rollback timeouts. Schema introspection is optimized for responsiveness on large databases, rendering table trees from a first pass while loading relations.

  • Deploy as container or Helm chart to keep the IDE next to the database, not on local dev machines.
  • Uses pooled connections and explicit BEGIN/COMMIT with auto-rollback timeout for safer transaction handling.
  • Schema introspection is optimized for responsiveness on databases with hundreds of tables.
  • MIT-licensed and self-hosted, reducing reliance on external SaaS tools for internal SQL work.
  • Built on node-postgres, ensuring compatibility and predictable behavior for PostgreSQL fleets.
