Installieren

Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mattpocock-skills-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/mattpocock/skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mattpocock-skills-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/mattpocock/skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mattpocock-skills-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/mattpocock/skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mattpocock-skills-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/mattpocock/skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "mattpocock-skills-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/mattpocock/skills",
        "~/.claude/skills/skills"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "mattpocock-skills-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/mattpocock/skills",
          "~/.claude/skills/skills"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

claude mcp add mattpocock-skills-skill -- git clone https://github.com/mattpocock/skills ~/.claude/skills/skills

Einzeiler. Prüfen mit claude mcp list. Entfernen mit claude mcp remove.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: mattpocock/skills

Apply Matt's TS patterns to an existing project

👤 TypeScript devs upgrading code quality ⏱ ~90 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: Your project has anys and shrug-worthy types and you want a principled cleanup.

Voraussetzungen

Skills installed — git clone https://github.com/mattpocock/skills ~/.claude/skills/mattpocock

Ablauf

Scan

Use mattpocock/ts-review. Scan /src and list every any, every unsafe cast, every type hole. Group by file.✓ Kopiert

→ Itemized findings, not a summary
Fix with principles

Fix the top 20, narrowest fix per case. Respect Matt's "prefer inference" rule — don't explicit-annotate what TS can infer.✓ Kopiert

→ Minimal diffs, type-safety gained
Check

Run tsc --noEmit. Any regressions?✓ Kopiert

→ Clean compile or precisely-scoped remaining items

Ergebnis: A measurably more type-safe codebase following a principled methodology.

Fallstricke

Skill applies Matt's opinions where your team disagrees (e.g. interface vs type) — Override with "skip the interface-vs-type conversion, keep existing style"

Kombinieren mit: filesystem

Build a feature test-first, Matt's way

👤 Devs adopting a more test-forward workflow ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You have a new feature to build and want to try test-first with modern TS tooling.

Ablauf

Write the test

Use mattpocock/test-first. I want to add a parseInvoice function. Write the test (vitest, integration-over-unit bias) before any impl.✓ Kopiert

→ Failing test with realistic fixtures
Implement

Now the minimal implementation. Type-safe, no any.✓ Kopiert

→ Green test with clean types
Refactor

Apply refactor patterns from the skill — extract helpers if they earn it, no premature abstraction.✓ Kopiert

→ Refactor only where the skill's criteria are met

Ergebnis: A test suite that tests behavior, an impl that satisfies it, and restraint on the refactor.

Fallstricke

Opinions collide with team's existing Jest setup — Ask the skill to adapt — it's opinionated but can be reoriented

Kombinieren mit: filesystem

Kombinationen

Mit anderen MCPs für 10-fache Wirkung

mattpocock-skills-skill + filesystem

Apply to a full repo

Run ts_review over the whole /src tree and report.✓ Kopiert

mattpocock-skills-skill + github

Open a PR per review

For the top 3 cleanups, create one PR each with a clear description.✓ Kopiert

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

Skill feels too opinionated

That's the point — override specific opinions in your prompt, or fork and edit

Recommendations conflict with team style

Share the output with the team; use it as a discussion starter, not a mandate

Doesn't know my niche library

Skills are TS-general — prepend your library's docs to the context

Alternativen

mattpocock/skills vs. andere

Alternative	Wann stattdessen	Kompromiss
Your team's linter config	You need CI-level enforcement, not interactive review	No LLM reasoning, no refactor help
Biome / ESLint with typescript-eslint	Want rules-based, deterministic	Doesn't explain its reasoning the way Matt's skills do
