## About

Software Engineering Toolkit is an adapted multi-skill engineering toolkit inspired by Matt Pocock's open-source skills repository. It helps agents and developers align on intent, model the domain, write specs and tickets, design deep modules, use test-driven development, diagnose bugs, review code, research with citations, create handoffs, and improve codebase architecture.

## Install

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar (web or desktop), search for “Software Engineering Toolkit” and select +. You'll be asked to sign in to any connected service on first use. Then type @ in a chat to call it.

## Skills

- **code-review**: Review changes against both engineering standards and the originating specification.
- **codebase-design**: Design deep modules with small interfaces, clear seams, and testable responsibilities.
- **diagnosing-bugs**: Diagnose bugs and regressions through reproduction, minimization, instrumentation, fixing, and regression testing.
- **domain-modeling**: Build a shared vocabulary and test it against real scenarios before changing code.
- **grilling**: Interview the user until a plan, design, or decision is specific enough to execute.
- **handoff-and-context**: Create compact handoffs and shared project context so another agent can continue accurately.
- **implementation**: Implement specs or tickets in small slices with tests, review, and a clear completion report.
- **merge-conflicts**: Resolve merge or rebase conflicts by tracing intent and preserving both sides where appropriate.
- **prototyping**: Build small throwaway prototypes to answer uncertain design, interaction, or technical questions.
- **research**: Investigate engineering questions with high-trust primary sources and cited findings.
- **software-engineering-toolkit**: Route engineering work into disciplined alignment, design, testing, diagnosis, review, research, and delivery workflows.
- **tdd**: Drive implementation with a red-green-refactor loop and meaningful behavior tests.
- **to-spec**: Turn a conversation or request into a precise, testable engineering specification.
- **to-tickets**: Break a plan into small tracer-bullet tickets with dependencies and completion criteria.
- **writing-for-agents**: Write concise, discoverable instructions and project documents that agents can follow reliably.

## Example prompts

- "Grill me until this engineering plan is unambiguous."
- "Turn this request into a testable implementation spec."
- "Diagnose this bug with a disciplined feedback loop."
