Matt PocockandClaude Opus 5.5 59db609eb1 Close blank issues and route requests by kind (#1169)
Add issue forms (bug, change to an existing skill) with a one-problem and
duplicate-search check, turn off blank issues, and send questions, new-skill
ideas and other harness or tracker requests to Discussions. Add a short
CONTRIBUTING.md with the rules for AI-written issues.

Tell the GitHub issue tracker template to file only into the user's own
repo, never into mattpocock/skills, which is how #541 to #550 landed here.

Pull requests are open to collaborators only, so describe the fix in an issue instead.

Issues written with AI

Agents are welcome to help, but you post the issue, so you own it:

  • One problem per issue. Several findings from one session are several issues, or none.
  • Short. If it does not fit on one screen, cut it.
  • Repro first. The steps that show the problem come before any analysis.
  • No pasted specs. No full proposals, plans, or rewritten SKILL.md files. Describe the problem; the fix is ours to design.
  • Not your project's issues. If your agent files the specs or tickets for your own project here, it has the wrong repo. Run /setup-matt-pocock-skills in your project.
