SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents AI assistants from overlooking relevant capabilities by requiring them to discover and invoke applicable skills before responding or taking action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skill Discovery: Establishes a disciplined process for identifying potentially relevant skills at the start of every interaction.
  • Mandatory Invocation: Requires applicable skills to be activated before answering questions, asking clarifying questions, or exploring files.
  • Workflow Guidance: Defines skill priority, platform-specific tool mappings, checklist handling, and safeguards against rationalizing away required processes.
  • Use Case: When a user requests code changes, research, debugging, or another task with a potentially relevant skill, use this Skill to locate and activate the appropriate workflow before proceeding.

Quick Start

Invoke this Skill before responding to any new conversation or taking any action that might benefit from an available skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about using-superpowers

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce AI assistants to discover relevant skills before executing tasks?▼

This skill establishes a mandatory discovery and invocation process that requires AI assistants to locate and activate applicable workflow guidance before answering questions, exploring files, or executing implementation and debugging tasks.

What is the best way to automate AI skill invocation during workflow orchestration?▼

The best way to automate AI skill invocation is to apply a skill discovery protocol that defines priority, platform-specific tool mappings, and checklist handling to ensure applicable skills are activated before proceeding with implementation or research.

Does this skill discovery mechanism work with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI environments?▼

Yes, the skill discovery and invocation mechanism supports tool mappings for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI environments. It requires access to the platform's skill-loading mechanism to enforce process compliance across these specific AI assistants.

How do I stop AI assistants from rationalizing away required process compliance steps?▼

To stop AI assistants from rationalizing away required process compliance steps, you apply safeguards within the skill discovery protocol that mandate applicable skills be activated before task execution, preventing the AI from skipping workflow guidance.

When do I need to apply mandatory skill discovery during AI conversations?▼

You need to apply mandatory skill discovery during AI conversations involving implementation, debugging, research, planning, and clarification workflows. It should be invoked before the assistant responds or takes any action where specialized guidance might exist.

What are the limitations of using automated skill discovery for prompt orchestration?▼

Limitations of automated skill discovery include its dependency on the platform's skill-loading mechanism and support for specific tool mappings like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. It cannot enforce process compliance in environments lacking these integrated loading capabilities.
