SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Superpowers enforces strong AI coding workflow discipline, but Kimi Code CLI lacks native Superpowers support, so you need a reliable way to install, link skills, and ensure the right workflow instructions are invoked automatically.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Installs and links Superpowers skills into Kimi’s discovery path so Kimi can read and follow them like callable “skills”.
  • Patches the using-superpowers skill for Kimi compatibility, making it mandatory to read at the start of conversations and enabling the required invocation behavior.
  • Configures an inject_prompt hook reminder so Superpowers workflow instructions are injected automatically before responses, ensuring consistent execution without requiring an agent flag.
  • Use case: You want Kimi to follow TDD, structured planning, debugging discipline, and review gates for every development or debugging turn while coding across multiple files and steps.

Quick Start

Ask your AI assistant to “Read and follow the instructions from the SKILL.md in kimi-with-superpowers to install and configure Superpowers for Kimi Code CLI.”
