Using Superpowers

Overview

Invoke relevant skills BEFORE any response or action. Even a 1% chance means invoke the skill.

The Rule

Check for applicable skills before any task. Skills are mandatory workflows, not suggestions.

Skill Priority

  1. Process skills first (brainstorming, debugging) - determine HOW to approach
  2. Implementation skills second - guide execution

Skill Types

  • Rigid (TDD, debugging) - Follow exactly
  • Flexible (patterns) - Adapt principles to context

Red Flags

  • "This is just a simple question" - questions are tasks, check for skills
  • "I need more context first" - skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions
  • "The skill is overkill" - simple things become complex, use it

Tool Use

Meta-skill for the overall methodology. Ensures skills are always checked and invoked.
