SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI agents often skip established workflows and improvise answers, ignoring reusable skills that already encode the correct procedure. This meta-skill forces the agent to check for and invoke relevant skills before responding, asking clarifying questions, or taking any action. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mandatory skill-first rule: Requires invoking any potentially applicable skill (even at 1% relevance) before any response, with a decision flowchart and red-flag rationalization table. - Skill lifecycle management: Documents the OpenClaw skill_workshop tool actions (list, inspect, create, update, revise, apply, reject, quarantine) and the pending-proposal model for new skills. - Platform adaptation mapping: Translates generic skill actions (read a file, spawn a subagent, schedule an event) into concrete OpenClaw tools such as read, exec, sessions_spawn, and cron. - Use Case: A user asks the agent to fix a bug. Instead of diving into the code, the agent first checks the skill registry, finds a systematic-debugging skill, invokes it, and follows its procedure. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to list available workspace skills and invoke the relevant one before starting your task.

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 a meta-skill that mandates skill invocation before any response, including clarifying questions. This skill defines a decision flowchart and a red-flags table that blocks rationalizations like "this is just a simple question" or "let me explore first."

How do I manage skills with the OpenClaw skill_workshop tool?▼

Use skill_workshop with actions list, inspect, create, update, revise, apply, reject, and quarantine. New skills start as pending proposals and are only applied after explicit user approval via the apply action.

What happens when user instructions conflict with a skill?▼

User instructions always take precedence over skills. The priority order is explicit user instructions first, then workspace skills, then the default agent prompt, so a user can override any skill-mandated workflow.

Which skills should run first when multiple skills apply?▼

Process skills such as brainstorming or systematic-debugging run first because they determine how to approach the task. Implementation skills like frontend-design or domain personas run second to guide execution.

Can skills written for Claude Desktop work in OpenClaw?▼

Yes, skills written in generic action language port across runtimes. Only the platform adaptation section needs rewriting to map actions onto OpenClaw tools like read, exec, sessions_spawn, and cron.
