What problem does it solve?
Agents and assistants frequently jump into tasks without checking for specialized, prebuilt skills, which leads to inconsistent approaches, missed tooling, and wasted effort. This Skill enforces a simple, invocation-first workflow so that appropriate skills are discovered and applied before any response or action is taken.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Invocation-first workflow: Requires checking for and invoking relevant skills before responding, even when clarifying questions seem necessary.
- Tool and platform mapping: Provides mappings and guidance for adapting skill instructions across Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, and Codex environments.
- Process enforcement: Defines priority rules, red flags, and when to dispatch or avoid subagents to ensure consistent, auditable behavior.
- Use Case: Onboarding a new multi-step task where domain-specific skills (e.g., debugging, code review, deployment) must be applied in a prescribed order to avoid rework.
Quick Start
Invoke the using-superpowers skill at the start of any task by calling the Skill tool to determine whether specialized skills apply before answering.
