SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that AI agents consistently and correctly invoke relevant skills before generating any response or taking action, preventing missed opportunities for task automation and adherence to predefined workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory Skill Invocation: Enforces the rule that if a skill might apply (even a 1% chance), it must be invoked first.
  • Instruction Priority: Clearly defines the hierarchy of instructions, with user directives always taking precedence over skills, and skills overriding default system behavior.
  • Platform Adaptation: Provides guidance on how to map Claude Code tool names to equivalents in other environments like Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI.
  • Use Case: When a user asks a question that could potentially be answered or assisted by a skill (e.g., "How do I add a new user?"), this skill ensures the AI first checks and invokes a relevant user management skill before attempting to answer directly.

Quick Start

Always invoke any potentially relevant skill before generating a response or asking clarifying questions.

Frequently Asked Questions about using-superpowers

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure AI agents invoke relevant skills before responding to user queries?

You enforce mandatory skill invocation by applying a strict protocol where agents check and execute potentially relevant skills before generating responses. This prevents missed task automation opportunities.

What is the instruction priority when applying agentic workflows with AI skills?

Instruction priority in agentic workflows dictates that user directives always take precedence over skills, while skills override default system behavior. This hierarchy ensures user control while maintaining workflow consistency.

How do I map Claude Code tool names to other AI environments like Codex or Cursor?

You map Claude Code tool names to equivalents in environments like Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI using platform-specific tool mapping guidance. This adaptation ensures seamless integration across different CLI platforms.

When should I enforce mandatory skill discovery in an AI conversational turn?

You should enforce mandatory skill discovery whenever a skill might apply, even with a minimal chance. This protocol ensures agents always check for relevant skills before asking clarifying questions or attempting to answer directly.

Does this skill invocation protocol work across multiple platforms?

Yes, the skill invocation protocol works across multiple platforms by providing platform-specific tool mappings. It adapts Claude Code tool names to equivalents in environments like Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI for seamless integration.
