## 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.

## Disconnect or uninstall

1. **In ChatGPT** Disconnect an account in Settings → Apps or Plugins. To remove the plugin itself, open Software Engineering Toolkit in the Plugin Directory and select Uninstall plugin. Uninstalling can disconnect every account connected through it, and plugins your workspace installs may not offer the option.

2. **In Codex** Run /plugins in the Codex CLI, select the plugin and uninstall it, or press Space to turn it off.

## 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."
