dsh-mattpocock-skills
Matt Pocock's engineering skills, packaged for DeepSeek Harness with a verified DSH adaptation overlay and automated upstream synchronization.
What this package provides
- All 37 skills currently present upstream, plus the
dsh-workflow guide.
- A read-only
ctx.skills provider with lazy loading and invocation-policy preservation.
- DSH adaptations applied in memory while vendored upstream files remain byte-identical.
- Exact-match validation: changed upstream wording fails instead of silently producing a partial adaptation.
- Cross-platform synchronization, generated manifests, tests, and scheduled update pull requests.
This project combines work from NmouZh/dsh-mattpocock-skills and auggie246/dsh-mattpocock-skills. The original skills are MIT licensed and authored by Matt Pocock. See LICENSE and vendor/VENDOR.md.
Install
DSH Web
npx --yes @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add @maoleijin/dsh-mattpocock-skills
Restart dsh web, refresh the page, and open a new session. Verify with:
npx --yes @deepseek-ai/dsh --profile web --dump-config | Select-String "mattpocock"
DSH Desktop
DSH Desktop exclusively manages its profile through three catalog-oriented pages: plugin configuration, installed plugins, and the plugin market. It does not expose an arbitrary npm-package input. After this package is accepted into the configured market catalog, open Plugin Market, search for the package below, inspect the preview, and confirm installation:
@maoleijin/dsh-mattpocock-skills
Completely quit and reopen DSH Desktop, then start a new session. Until the market entry is indexed, use the Web profile; publishing to npm alone does not make a package appear in Desktop's market.
See docs/installation.md or run scripts/install-web.bat on Windows.
Use
Start with:
/dsh-workflow
/setup-matt-pocock-skills
Common user-started flows include /ask-matt, /grill-with-docs, /to-spec, /to-tickets, /implement, and /wayfinder. Model-invocable disciplines include tdd, code-review, diagnosing-bugs, domain-modeling, codebase-design, and research.
Synchronize upstream
With an upstream checkout next to this repository:
npm ci
npm run sync:local
npm test
Or let the synchronizer clone the configured upstream into a temporary directory:
npm run sync
npm test
Set MATTPOCOCK_SKILLS_REPOSITORY to use another Git remote. Scheduled synchronization opens a pull request only after overlay and provider validation succeeds.
Validate
npm ci
npm run check
npm test
If upstream rewrites text targeted by the DSH overlay, validation reports the exact stale rule. Update overlay/patches.json, regenerate the mechanical rules, and rerun the suite.
