SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? AI agents often skip available skills and respond directly, missing established workflows. This Skill establishes a mandatory discipline: check for and invoke applicable skills before any response, including clarifying questions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mandatory Skill Check: Requires invoking any potentially relevant skill (even at 1% likelihood) before responding or acting. - Cross-Platform Tool Mapping: Ships reference tables mapping Claude Code tool names to Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, and Cline equivalents. - Priority and Workflow Rules: Defines instruction priority (user instructions over skills over system defaults), skill ordering (process skills before implementation skills), and an interaction rhythm for conversations. - Use Case: When a user asks an agent to fix a bug, the agent first invokes the debugging skill, announces its usage, and follows that workflow instead of improvising. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to start any task and it will check for applicable skills and invoke them before responding.

Frequently Asked Questions about using-superpowers

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I make an AI agent always check for skills before responding?▼

Install this skill so it loads at conversation start. It instructs the agent to invoke any potentially relevant skill before responding, including before clarifying questions, and provides a checklist-driven interaction rhythm.

How do I use Claude Code skills in Codex or Gemini CLI?▼

Use the included reference files that map Claude Code tool names to platform equivalents. Codex uses spawn_agent for subagents, Gemini CLI uses activate_skill for skills, and Copilot CLI uses the skill tool with auto-discovered plugins.

Does this skill work with Gemini CLI subagents?▼

No. Gemini CLI has no equivalent to the Task tool, so skills relying on subagent dispatch fall back to single-session execution. The gemini-tools reference documents this limitation explicitly.

What happens when user instructions conflict with a skill?▼

User instructions always take precedence. The defined priority order is explicit user instructions first, then skill behavior, then default system prompt behavior, so users remain in control.

When should process skills be invoked before implementation skills?▼

Process skills like brainstorming or debugging come first because they determine how to approach the task. Implementation skills follow to guide execution, for example brainstorming before frontend-design when building a feature.
