SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill Unit ensures Skill invocation precedes every response by evaluating the applicability of available Skill Units and loading their guidance into context.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enforces pre-checks to determine if any Skill Unit should govern the interaction, guaranteeing consistent and safe responses.
Respects user instructions first, then Skill guidance, then default system behavior to prevent misalignment.
Provides automatic loading of a Skill Unit's frontmatter (name and description) and its operational instructions for activation and clarifications.

Quick Start

Before answering, trigger the using-superpowers skill to evaluate applicable skills and load their guidance into context.

FAQPage Schema

How do I ensure context loading happens before an AI generates a response?▼

To ensure context loading precedes an AI response, evaluate whether any available Skill Unit is applicable to the query and load its specific frontmatter guidance and operational instructions into context before generating the reply.

What is workflow control for conversational AI and when is it needed?▼

Workflow control for conversational AI is the process of enforcing pre-checks to determine if a Skill Unit should govern an interaction. It is needed to guarantee consistent, safe responses and prevent misalignment with user intent.

How do I prevent prompt injection from overriding system behavior in my AI workflow?▼

Prevent prompt injection overrides by respecting user instructions first, then Skill guidance, then default system behavior. If no Skill applies, proceed with normal reasoning to maintain safety and user intent.

Does skill invocation require any dependencies to evaluate applicability?▼

Skill invocation requires no external dependencies to evaluate applicability. It triggers internal pre-checks to load a Skill Unit's frontmatter and operational instructions into context before answering.

What happens to conversational AI safety when no Skill Unit applies to the user query?▼

When no Skill Unit applies to the user query, the conversational AI proceeds with normal reasoning while maintaining safety and user intent without loading any specific Skill guidance into context.

Best way to align AI responses with user instructions over default system behavior?▼

The best way to align AI responses is to enforce a priority hierarchy: respect user instructions first, then apply Skill Unit guidance, and finally fall back to default system behavior to prevent misalignment.
