   Pocock says AI-era skill is stating what you care about and making codebases agent-ready

   AIMatt Pocock says the valuable skills are stating what you care about and making tests, code quality, and workflows reliable enough for agents, not chasing the newest model. He says he switched from doubting coding agents to fully relying on them after Claude Opus 4.5 arrived around December 2025. After months of spec-driven development on a Descript video-editing repo, he says code quality declined and agents performed worse, so he now treats the codebase itself as the agent's working environment.
