SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents the AI from answering or acting before checking whether a more specialized “superpowers” Skill should be used, reducing missed workflows and incorrect approaches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Preemptive Skill Invocation: Forces a Skill check and (when applicable) invocation at the start of the conversation, including before clarification questions.
  • Instruction Priority Control: Ensures user instructions remain highest priority while superpowers override default system behavior when there is a conflict.
  • Platform-Adapted Skill Access: Provides guidance for invoking skills in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other environments via documented tool mappings.

Quick Start

Invoke the using-superpowers skill before responding so it can determine whether another Skill should be activated for your current task.

Frequently Asked Questions about using-superpowers

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure the correct agent workflow is invoked before the AI responds?

To ensure correct agent workflow invocation, a pre-response activation rule forces a skill check at the start of the conversation to identify and trigger the appropriate specialized skill before any action or clarification.

What is instruction priority handling in agent safety and how does it work?

Instruction priority handling in agent safety ensures user instructions remain the highest priority, while specialized skills override default system behavior to resolve conflicts when processing ambiguous conversation flows.

How to map skill invocation tools across Claude Code and Gemini CLI?

To map skill invocation tools across Claude Code and Gemini CLI, platform-aware guidance provides documented tool mappings to access and activate skills correctly within each specific environment.

When do I need pre-response skill activation for ambiguous user requests?

You need pre-response skill activation for ambiguous user requests when there is a chance a domain-specific or workflow-specific skill should guide the approach, preventing missed workflows and incorrect approaches.

Does instruction priority control affect default agent behavior when conflicts occur?

Instruction priority control overrides default agent behavior when conflicts occur, ensuring specialized skills take precedence over default system behavior while keeping user instructions as the top priority.

Can I use prompt governance to force a skill check before clarification questions?

Yes, prompt governance can force a skill check before clarification questions by applying strict pre-response activation rules, ensuring specialized skills are evaluated and invoked before the agent asks for details.
