Aside from the fact that Matt Pocock spends a lot of time with LLMS (only Claude really), he has a hand-wavy approach to engineering in a silo. He then uses that output as a foundation for other tools, while touting them as the best way to do things on youtube. Claude promotes this kind of developer and it's harmful.

Anyone who uses LLMs notices (intrinsically or through investigation) that there are a small number of useful instructions for LLMs, which is distilled from the language.

* Invariants (always/must, never)

* Precedence

* Guidelines/Opportunistic Inspection (softest instruction)

* Patterns

* Concrete commands/actions

- all of which can be mixed and matched.

The prose he writes often has very little utility, wrapped up in a ball of wax. I would at least expect that an engineer would run AI skill files through an impartial LLM to look for cruft.

eg "if this document is for an LLM to consume, is there any noise in the instructions? https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/blob/main/skills/engine..."
