Matt Pocock demonstrates his agent skills collection in GitHub Copilot using a course video manager repository. The session follows real CLI work, then a larger RPC refactor.

Grill with Docs starts with repository exploration and questions before implementation. For issue 1612, Pocock clarifies how beat lists should work across videos, lessons and sections, including ordering and excluding videos with empty plans. He presents this questioning process as a way to reduce misunderstandings with an AI agent.

Dexter Horthy's Show Me skill helps explain the resulting pull request through a compact diff and a Mermaid diagram. Code Review then checks repository standards and the conversation's specification in separate agent contexts. In the example, the specification check finds no issues, while the standards check leads to a fix for duplicated relation configuration. Pocock argues that these fixes belong in implementation before human review.

For the RPC work, Improve Codebase Architecture produces recommendations that Pocock turns into a specification and tickets. Implement Spec handles two independent tickets in separate worktrees and branches, combines the work and runs review. The closing Retro demonstration examines four recent sessions and suggests changes to branch selection, tool use and navigation.
