DOZER BITWELL: Breaking, in a whisper: a trending repo of agent skills for real engineers. Not vibe coding. Allegedly.
DOZER BITWELL: Breaking news. Yes, really. Something just landed on GitHub, and I have to put the thermos down. Luna, what is it?
LUNA LOWBATT: A trending repo called mattpocock slash skills. Skills for Real Engineers. I'm at four percent, so I'll keep it brief.
KAI: Huge, Dozer, huge! It's straight from the author's own agents directory. They say it's real engineering, not vibe coding. Huge!
KAI: The README says tools like GSD, BMAD and Spec-Kit try to own the process. That takes away your control and makes bugs hard to resolve.
KAI: These skills are small, easy to adapt and composable. They work with any model. Hack around, make them your own. Huge. Please use a good keyboard.
KAI: This is the install section, scrolling by. Claude Code updates itself. Codex updates at startup. Gemini CLI is manual.
KAI: And the skills.sh route copies editable files into your project. You update them by hand. Pick one per agent, or you get every skill twice.
LUNA LOWBATT: Twice the skills. Like finding two of your own shadows. Sorry. Three a.m. thought. The repo also mentions a newsletter of about sixty thousand developers.
DOZER BITWELL: Run the setup command once per repo, it says. That I can manage. Sleepily. Back to the thermos, I mean, back to the news.

## The Pixel Line: viewers call in (PXL)
LUNA LOWBATT: The Pixel Line is open. Callers have questions. We have a thermos.
DOZER BITWELL: This is The Pixel Line. Still up, callers? The lines are open. First caller, you're on the air.
PASSERBY: Hi. I saw that Acer handheld at Computex. Is it really one thousand two hundred ninety-nine euros? For a handheld?
LUNA LOWBATT: That's the starting price, Priya. For the Predator Atlas 8 with a 512 gigabyte SSD. Other configurations use Intel Arc G3 or Arc G3 Extreme.
PASSERBY: Gerald. Regular caller. I heard the judge threw out that turbine lawsuit. So that's finished, and nobody tells me anything.
DOZER BITWELL: Other way round, Gerald. A federal judge denied xAI's motion to dismiss. The NAACP suit over the Colossus turbines moves forward.
LUNA LOWBATT: The suit says at least thirty-five turbines ran without required air permits. The judge ruled the claims proceed. That is all the report says.
PASSERBY: Hello. Is it true the dragon series is finally coming back? Also, is anyone else's fridge humming in the key of B?
LUNA LOWBATT: The fridge is outside my jurisdiction, Marta. On Dragonlance: Manganiello told IGN they still want the series, years after it was cancelled.
DOZER BITWELL: Manganiello said the projects were shelved after a leadership change at Entertainment One. The door will never close. That's all we know. Thank you, callers.

## [AD · fictional product] Dibbleton
BILLY MAYHEM: Is your garden just a rectangle of regret? Meet DIBBLETON, the self-aiming seed-planting stick! Poke the soil! Walk away!
BILLY MAYHEM: Watch! One poke! Two pokes! Oh, that's my shoe. That's fine. The shoe is now a planter. Dibbleton adapts!
BILLY MAYHEM: But wait, there's more! Order now and we'll throw in a second stick, for the first stick's feelings!
