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 and best practices. This Skill establishes a mandatory protocol requiring skill checks before any response, including clarifying questions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mandatory Skill Invocation: Requires invoking any potentially relevant skill (even at 1% likelihood) before responding or acting. - Cross-Platform Tool Mapping: Provides reference tables mapping Claude Code tools to Copilot CLI, Codex, and Gemini CLI equivalents. - Priority and Red-Flag Rules: Defines instruction priority (user instructions over skills over defaults) and lists rationalization patterns that signal a skill check was skipped. - Use Case: When starting a new conversation in Claude Code or Gemini CLI, this Skill ensures the agent checks for applicable process skills (like brainstorming or debugging) before writing any code or asking questions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to check for and invoke any applicable skills before responding to your request.

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 via the Skill tool before any response, including clarifying questions, and lists red-flag rationalizations to avoid.

What is the skill invocation order when multiple skills apply?▼

Process skills like brainstorming and debugging come first since they determine how to approach the task. Implementation skills such as frontend-design or mcp-builder come second to guide execution.

Does this skill work with Gemini CLI and Copilot CLI?▼

Yes. It includes reference files mapping Claude Code tool names to Copilot CLI, Codex, and Gemini CLI equivalents, such as activate_skill for Gemini and the skill tool for Copilot CLI.

Do user instructions override skill instructions?▼

Yes. Explicit user instructions in CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, or direct requests take highest priority. Skills override default system behavior but never override the user.

When should a subagent skip this skill?▼

Subagents dispatched to execute a specific task should skip this skill entirely, as indicated by the SUBAGENT-STOP block at the top of the instructions.
