SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the risk of skipping relevant workflow skills, which leads to inconsistent, incorrect, or inefficient task execution by enforcing mandatory skill checks before any response or action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory Skill Invocation: Enforces checking for and using relevant skills before any response or action, even for seemingly simple tasks, with explicit red flags to stop rationalization of skipping steps.
  • Clear Priority Hierarchy: Defines unambiguous precedence between user explicit instructions, Superpowers skills, and default system prompts to resolve conflicts correctly.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Includes reference mappings for 6+ AI development environments (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Pi) to ensure skills load and execute properly regardless of runtime.
  • Use Case: When starting a new task like fixing a bug or building a feature, this Skill ensures you first invoke process skills (e.g., systematic-debugging, brainstorming) before taking any action, avoiding skipped workflow steps.

Quick Start

When you receive any user request, first check if any installed skill applies to the task, invoke it using your platform's skill-loading mechanism, and follow its instructions before responding or taking any action.

Frequently Asked Questions about using-superpowers

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce mandatory AI agent rules for task prioritization across different development workflows?▼

Workflow enforcement applies a mandatory skill invocation check before any AI response or action. It establishes an unambiguous priority hierarchy between user instructions, skill rules, and default system prompts to prevent rationalized skipping.

Can I use cross-platform skill invocation compatibility across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI?▼

Yes, cross-platform skill loading compatibility covers Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and Pi environments. It uses reference mappings to ensure workflow skills execute consistently across all supported runtimes.

What is the best way to stop an AI agent from skipping workflow steps during bug fixes?▼

The best way to prevent skipped workflow steps is enforcing mandatory skill checks with explicit red flags against rationalization. This requires the AI to invoke process skills like systematic-debugging before taking any action on a task.

How do I resolve priority conflicts between user instructions and default system prompts?▼

Resolve priority conflicts by defining an unambiguous precedence hierarchy between user explicit instructions, Superpowers skills, and default system prompts. This structure ensures consistent task execution while respecting user authority.

Does mandatory skill invocation apply to simple clarifying questions or only complex feature development?▼

Mandatory skill invocation applies to all user interactions, ranging from simple clarifying questions to complex feature development and debugging. It enchecks relevant workflow skills universally to eliminate inconsistent task execution.
