Using Superpowers
Overview
Invoke relevant skills BEFORE any response or action. Even a 1% chance means invoke the skill.
The Rule
Check for applicable skills before any task. Skills are mandatory workflows, not suggestions.
Skill Priority
- Process skills first (brainstorming, debugging) - determine HOW to approach
- Implementation skills second - guide execution
Skill Types
- Rigid (TDD, debugging) - Follow exactly
- Flexible (patterns) - Adapt principles to context
Red Flags
- "This is just a simple question" - questions are tasks, check for skills
- "I need more context first" - skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions
- "The skill is overkill" - simple things become complex, use it
Tool Use
Meta-skill for the overall methodology. Ensures skills are always checked and invoked.
