Skills for Real Engineers
This repository contains a set of skills designed for AI coding agents, aimed at improving their effectiveness in software development. These skills are based on decades of engineering experience and are intended to help developers overcome common challenges faced when working with AI agents.
Key Features:
- Grilling Sessions: Use
/grill-meand/grill-with-docsto ensure alignment between the developer and the AI agent, enhancing communication and understanding. - Shared Language Development: Create a common vocabulary to reduce verbosity and improve clarity in code and documentation.
- Feedback Loops: Implement automated tests and feedback mechanisms to ensure the code produced by AI agents meets quality standards.
- Codebase Management: Tools like
/improve-codebase-architecturehelp maintain a clean and manageable codebase, preventing complexity and technical debt.
Use Cases:
- Software Development: Enhance the coding process by integrating these skills into your AI agent's workflow.
- Project Management: Use skills to streamline issue tracking and documentation processes.
- Team Collaboration: Foster better communication and understanding among team members and AI agents.
