SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents agents from acting or asking clarifying questions before checking for applicable skills, enforcing a consistent workflow so tool-driven capabilities are discovered and used reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Invocation Enforcement: Mandates invoking the Skill tool (or platform equivalent) whenever there is any chance a skill applies, including before clarifying questions.
  • Platform Mapping: Provides guidance for Claude Code, Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI equivalents so skills can be activated across different environments.
  • Use Case: When a user asks for a code change or design plan, the agent invokes relevant process and implementation skills (brainstorming, debugging, code-reviewer) first, then follows the selected skill precisely.

Quick Start

Invoke the using-superpowers skill before responding to determine and activate any applicable skills.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce skill invocation before an agent responds in CLI workflows?

You can enforce skill invocation by applying a workflow skill that mandates checking for applicable capabilities before an agent generates any response or asks clarifying questions, ensuring reliable tool-based workflow consultation.

What is the purpose of mapping skill tools across different agent platforms?

Mapping skill tools across different agent platforms provides guidance for equivalents so skills can be activated consistently. This deterministic execution allows environments to translate tool names and invoke the correct workflow capabilities reliably.

Does this workflow skill work with Claude Code, Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI?

Yes, the skill applies across Claude Code, Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI. It requires integration with platform-specific skill tools or equivalents to support deterministic execution and tool name mapping via references.

Can user instructions override the mandated skill invocation workflow?

Yes, user instruction precedence is respected over skills. While the skill enforces checking for applicable workflows before responding, explicit user instructions take priority over the automatic skill invocation mechanism.

When should I use an agent workflow skill instead of answering directly?

Use an agent workflow skill whenever there is any chance a skill applies to the user's request, including before asking clarifying questions. This prevents agents from acting prematurely and ensures tool-driven capabilities are discovered and used reliably.
