SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates missed opportunities to apply existing skills by mandating that agents check and invoke relevant skills before answering any user request, preventing inefficient or unsafe actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

Mandatory skill check: Requires invoking a skill whenever there is even a 1% chance it applies.
Flowchart guidance: Provides a visual decision flow for when and how to invoke skills.
Priority rules: Defines ordering between process and implementation skills.
Red flag awareness: Lists common rationalizations to avoid skipping skill checks.
Use Cases: Any AI‑driven conversational task, such as brainstorming, debugging, or code generation, where established skills exist.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to “use the using-superpowers skill before responding to any user message”.

FAQPage Schema

How do I force an AI assistant to check for relevant skills before generating a response?▼

To force an AI assistant to check for relevant skills before generating a response, mandate a skill invocation step in the decision flow prior to answering. This ensures established workflows and safety requirements are applied to user queries.

Why do AI assistants skip established governance workflows during brainstorming or debugging tasks?▼

AI assistants skip established governance workflows due to missed opportunities when agents rationalize skipping checks. Implementing mandatory skill invocation with red flag awareness prevents these inefficient or unsafe actions during tasks.

What is the best way to enforce mandatory skill invocation in a conversational AI decision flow?▼

The best way to enforce mandatory skill invocation in a conversational AI decision flow is to require checking skills whenever there is even a 1% chance one applies, guided by priority rules and flowchart visualization.

Can I use mandatory skill checks for both process and implementation planning tasks?▼

Yes, you can use mandatory skill checks for both process and implementation planning tasks. The system defines priority rules that establish correct ordering between process skills and implementation skills to satisfy governance requirements.

What are the limitations of relying on AI to self-select relevant skills without a mandatory invocation rule?▼

Without a mandatory invocation rule, limitations include the AI rationalizing skipping skill checks and missing opportunities to apply existing skills, leading to inefficient or unsafe actions that violate governance and safety requirements.
