SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The skill ensures that any AI conversation begins by locating and invoking the required skills, so responses are grounded in available capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces pre-response skill discovery and tool invocation for every interaction.
  • Applies across any user instruction to guarantee consistent capability usage.
  • Establishes a clear priority order between user requests, superpowers skills, and the default system prompt.

Quick Start

Activate this skill at the start of a new conversation to ensure proper skill discovery and tool invocation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure AI assistant skill invocation happens before generating a response?

To enforce AI assistant skill invocation before responses, activate a pre-response discovery mechanism that locates and triggers required capabilities. This guarantees tool usage occurs as a mandatory step prior to generating any conversational output.

What is the priority order between user instructions, superpowers skills, and the default system prompt?

The priority order establishes a clear hierarchy between user requests, superpowers skills, and the default system prompt. This ensures capability usage aligns correctly across all conversations, even when clarifying questions are needed.

How to apply mandatory tool invocation across all conversations with an AI assistant?

To apply mandatory tool invocation across all conversations, activate a skill discovery process at conversation start. This enforces capability usage as a required step before any AI response is generated.

When do I need to enforce pre-response skill discovery for workflow prompting?

You need to enforce pre-response skill discovery for workflow prompting at the start of any new conversation. This guarantees proper tool usage and grounds AI responses in available capabilities before interaction begins.

Can I use default system prompt instructions while still enforcing superpowers skills?

Yes, you can use the default system prompt while enforcing superpowers skills. The mechanism establishes a clear priority order between user instructions, superpowers skills, and the default prompt to guarantee consistent capability usage.

Why does an AI assistant fail to use available skills without pre-response discovery?

An AI assistant fails to use available skills without pre-response discovery because no mandatory invocation step is enforced. Activating skill discovery at conversation start grounds responses in available capabilities and guarantees proper tool usage.
