A complete development methodology for coding agents: brainstorm to clarify requirements, write an implementation plan, then build with subagents, with red-green TDD, systematic debugging and code review throughout. In the official Claude Code and Codex marketplaces.

A full development methodology for coding agents: brainstorm a design, break it into an implementation plan, dispatch subagents to build and review each task, with mandatory TDD and systematic debugging. Installed as a plugin, it injects its bootstrap automatically.

Matt Pocock's engineering skills: /grill-me interrogates requirements to align on intent, then a spec-and-ticket flow, TDD, code review and domain modeling. Small, composable skills, listed in the official Claude Code plugin marketplace.

Matt Pocock's engineering skills: grill-me interrogates you to align on requirements, to-spec turns discussion into a spec, to-tickets breaks it into tickets, plus tdd, diagnosing-bugs, code-review and more. Run setup-matt-pocock-skills once per repo first.

A four-phase root-cause debugging method: investigate the root cause, compare against working examples, test one hypothesis at a time, then fix the root cause. Guessing at code changes before locating the cause is not allowed. From the Superpowers workflow.

Before writing code, asks questions one at a time to clarify intent, constraints and success criteria, turning a vague idea into a reviewable design; implementation starts only after you approve it. A core Superpowers skill.

Once requirements or a spec exist and before touching code, writes multi-step work as a fine-grained implementation plan listing the files, interface signatures and tests to verify each step. A core Superpowers skill.

Forces red-green-refactor: write a test and watch it fail, then write the minimum code to pass. Any code written without a verified failing test gets deleted and redone. From the Superpowers workflow.

Follows an implementation plan by dispatching a fresh subagent for each task, reviewing each for spec compliance and code quality, then doing a final overall review. From Superpowers; use with its code-review and branch-finishing skills.

Requires the agent to run the full verification commands and read the output before claiming work is done, fixed or passing, backing claims with evidence and ruling out unverified success reports. From the Superpowers workflow.

Before finishing a task or merging, dispatches an independent reviewer subagent over a git commit range to check the work against the plan and requirements, then handles feedback by severity: critical, important, minor. Part of obra/superpowers.

A disciplined process for hard bugs and performance regressions: build a reliable reproduction loop, reproduce and minimize, form hypotheses, instrument to verify, then fix and add a regression test, redacting secrets in output. By Matt Pocock.

Before you build, the agent grills you on your plan or design, offering a recommended answer each round, until every decision branch is resolved. It calls the grilling skill from the same repo, so install both.

Test-driven development in vertical slices: agree on test seams with the user first, verify behavior only through public interfaces, and avoid listed anti-patterns such as implementation coupling and tautological tests. From Matt Pocock's skills collection.

A complete harness for coding agents: dozens of subagents, nearly 300 skills, hooks, rules, memory and continuous learning, plus the AgentShield security scanner. Built mainly for Claude Code, with Codex support.

Behavior guidelines drawn from Karpathy's observations of how LLMs go wrong when coding: think before acting, keep it simple, make surgical changes only, and drive work by verifiable goals. Can also be used directly as a CLAUDE.md.

Four guidelines based on Karpathy's observations of common LLM coding mistakes: think before coding, prefer simplicity, make only necessary changes, and work toward verifiable goals. Ships as a plugin skill or works as a CLAUDE.md. Community-made, not by Karpathy.

Has the agent follow a 'don't write it if you can avoid it' ladder: ask if it's needed, then reuse existing code, the standard library, platform features and installed dependencies, writing only the minimum while keeping validation, error handling, security and accessibility.

'Laziest senior engineer' mode: checks whether the work is needed and whether existing code, the standard library or platform features cover it, then writes the minimum code while keeping validation, error handling and security. For Claude Code and Codex; its hook needs Node.js.

A seven-phase feature development workflow: clarify requirements, explore the codebase with parallel subagents, design the architecture, implement, then run a quality review. Start it with /feature-dev. Official Anthropic plugin.

GitHub's official spec-driven development toolkit: the specify CLI sets up spec, plan and task workflows for Copilot, Claude Code, Codex and other agents so the spec comes before the code, plus bug-fix and idea-evaluation flows. Needs Python 3.11+ and uv.

Skill pack from YC president Garry Tan: slash commands such as /office-hours, /plan-ceo-review, /review, /qa and /ship play CEO, engineering manager, designer, QA and release engineer. Needs Git and Bun; clone the repo and run ./setup as the README describes.

Engineering skill collection spanning define, plan, build, verify, review and ship, with /spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review and /ship commands, including TDD, code review and web performance audits. By Addy Osmani.

Addy Osmani's production-grade engineering skill pack covering spec, planning, implementation, testing, review and shipping, with commands like /spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review and /ship. Supports both Claude Code and Codex.
