dsh-mattpocock-skills

The most common pitfall of AI-assisted coding is the lack of structured engineering discipline: the model either guesses or waits for you to re-prompt every round. This plugin ports 25 battle-tested engineering and productivity skills verbatim into DeepSeek Harness, covering TDD red-green loops, two-axis code review, stress-test questioning, requirement-to-spec and requirement-to-ticket workflows, domain modeling, codebase design, and bug diagnosis on the engineering side, plus grilling, teach, handoff, and writing-for-agents on the productivity side. The model loads a full structured workflow when a task matches, instead of starting from scratch every turn.

All 76 skill files are byte-identical to the upstream release, with hashes pinned and verifiable via a simple diff command. There are zero runtime dependencies and no build scripts, and skills load lazily so there is no boot-time cost. You can let the model auto-match a skill during a session, or invoke one explicitly by starting a message with the skill name.

This is for developers who treat dsh as a daily engineering companion and want the AI to behave like a disciplined team member rather than a chat partner. If you just want a ready-to-use set of engineering workflows without worrying about upstream versioning details, this plugin is all you need.
