SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Starting conversations without guaranteed skill invocation can lead to inconsistent behavior or unsafe responses. This skill enforces a default practice of loading and applying the correct skills before answering, ensuring consistent context and governance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces pre-response skill invocation to load context, rules, and applicable tools.
  • Defines a clear priority order for user instructions, superpowers, and default system prompts.
  • Cross-platform guidance for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other environments, enabling predictable agent behavior.

Quick Start

Invoke the Skill tool at session start to load applicable powers and establish pre-response guardrails.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce skill invocation before Claude Code generates a response?

To enforce skill invocation before a response, you need a workflow policy that requires loading context and applying pre-defined skills via the tool prior to answering, ensuring consistent agent behavior and safe guardrails.

Why does my AI agent ignore custom instructions and default to standard behavior?

AI agents ignore custom instructions when a strict priority order is not enforced. Establishing a hierarchy where user instructions override superpowers, which override default system prompts, ensures your specific workflow policies are consistently applied.

Does this skill invocation workflow work with both Claude Code and Gemini CLI?

Yes, this skill invocation workflow provides cross-platform compatibility, offering standardized guidance for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other environments to ensure predictable agent behavior across different platforms.

What is the best way to standardize context loading across different AI platforms?

The best way to standardize context loading is to apply a default practice that invokes the skill tool at session start, establishing pre-response guardrails and ensuring predictable agent behavior across all supported platforms.

When should I not use pre-response guardrails for AI conversations?

Pre-response guardrails might be unnecessary for simple, single-turn interactions where complex context loading is irrelevant, but they are essential for multi-step workflows requiring consistent governance and specific skill application.
