I heckin love his /grill-me skill. Terse, to the point, and delivers outsized results.
Gonna take a moment to share my own generic "retro" prompt, which has found many areas of improvement IME.
> Let's conclude with a retro. Did you run into any issues during this session that you think could be improved? Any failed tool calls, confusing docs/prompts, or tricky wording that took you effort to figure out, etc? Any final thoughts that you want to raise? Anything minor you didn't mention? Help make this codebase easier for the next agent to work in.
It's somewhat doc-focused since I'm currently working on fairly dense design docs... but you can easily customize it for your own needs.
This prompt reveals how absolutely _ass_ the Claude Code harness is (so many stupid tool call failures), but not much I can do about that.

I've just started using Claude Code this month after months of Claude in VSCode + GitHub Copilot (and a bit of dabbling with AWS Kiro), and I'm actually impressed by how seemingly polished Claude Code is.
I think Copilot in VSCode broke far more in my months of (ab)using it.
Side note: Matt has a new skill /grill-with-docs, which he recommends as the one to use for coding. Regular /grill-me he doesn't recommend for coding anymore.
