SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures you correctly identify and utilize available AI capabilities (skills) before performing any action or responding, preventing inefficient or incorrect AI behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skill Invocation Mandate: Guarantees that relevant skills are invoked before any other action, even for simple questions or initial context gathering.
  • Instruction Hierarchy: Clarifies that user instructions always override skill behavior, maintaining user control.
  • Platform Adaptation: Provides guidance on how to map skill tool calls to different AI environments like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and others.
  • Use Case: When asked to "summarize this document," you must first check if a summarization skill exists and invoke it, rather than immediately attempting to summarize.

Quick Start

Always invoke any potentially relevant skill before responding to a user's request.

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 prompts?

To ensure AI agents invoke relevant skills before responding, establish a strict skill-first invocation policy that mandates checking for applicable skills prior to any action or information retrieval. This enforces workflow integrity.

What is a skill-first invocation policy for agentic workflows?

A skill-first invocation policy for agentic workflows requires AI agents to discover and execute relevant skills before any other action. It guarantees that available AI capabilities are correctly utilized, preventing inefficient behavior.

Can I override AI skill behavior with user instructions in agentic workflows?

Yes, you can override AI skill behavior with user instructions. The instruction hierarchy clarifies that user instructions always override skill behavior, maintaining full user control over the agentic workflow outcome.

Does the skill invocation protocol work with Claude Code and Gemini CLI?

Yes, the skill invocation protocol works with Claude Code and Gemini CLI. It provides platform adaptation guidance to map skill tool calls to different AI environments, ensuring correct execution across platforms.

Why should AI check for a summarization skill instead of immediately summarizing a document?

AI should check for a summarization skill instead of immediately summarizing to correctly identify and utilize available capabilities. This skill-first approach prevents inefficient or incorrect AI behavior during document processing.

When do I need to enforce skill discovery and execution in AI workflows?

You need to enforce skill discovery and execution in AI workflows during all conversational AI interactions requiring task execution or information retrieval, ensuring agents leverage capabilities effectively before responding.
