FAQPage Schema
How do I force AI to invoke a skill before generating any conversation response?

To force skill invocation before a conversation response, you use a mechanism that enforces tool usage prior to generating any text, ensuring correct use of skills and consistent behavior across interactions.

What are the priority rules when user instructions conflict with system prompts and skill instructions?

Priority rules resolve conflicts between user instructions, superpowers, and default system prompts by defining a clear hierarchy that guides the AI on which instructions to follow first across conversations.

How do I ensure consistent skill loading and execution across different environments?

You ensure consistent skill loading across environments by applying platform-aware execution guidance, which specifies platform adaptations and tool mappings to guide how skills are loaded and executed on different setups.

What is the best way to manage conversation flow when multiple tools and instructions apply?

The best way to manage conversation flow with multiple tools is to invoke the Skill tool at the start of an interaction whenever a skill might apply, following its instructions before responding to maintain structured convo-management.

Why does my AI model ignore safety guardrails when user instructions override default prompts?

AI models might ignore safety guardrails when instruction hierarchy is unclear, but establishing strict priority rules for user instructions, superpowers, and default prompts ensures guardrails are maintained during skill invocation.
