How does this skill handle checklists?

It requires the creation of TodoWrite todos for every item in a skill's checklist, ensuring no step is skipped mentally or ignored to save time.

What is the primary purpose of the using-superpowers skill?

It enforces a mandatory workflow that requires the AI to check for, announce, and apply relevant skills before beginning any task to ensure maximum quality and consistency.

Can I skip this workflow for simple tasks?

No, the protocol explicitly states that skipping process on simple tasks is how they become complex problems; the workflow is mandatory regardless of perceived task difficulty.

Why does this skill require brainstorming before coding?

To ensure requirements are fully understood and architectural decisions are vetted before implementation starts, preventing wasted effort and technical debt.

生産性とワークフロー

Establishes mandatory protocols for finding, announcing, and executing skills to ensure consistent AI behavior and task success.

概要

The using-superpowers skill acts as a foundational meta-framework for Claude, enforcing a strict skill-first mindset across all interactions. It mandates that Claude checks for applicable skills before starting any task, utilizes brainstorming phases before implementation, and tracks progress via explicit TodoWrite checklists. By removing the ability to rationalize away established workflows, it ensures that best practices like Test-Driven Development and structured debugging are never skipped, leading to significantly higher-quality output and fewer architectural errors.
