What is the primary purpose of the Superpowers skill?

It serves as an orchestrator that mandates Claude to check for and invoke any relevant specialized skills before responding to a prompt or taking action.

Does this skill work with all Claude Code tools?

Yes, it specifically instructs Claude to use the dedicated Skill tool to load and follow domain-specific instructions correctly.

How does this skill improve Claude's performance?

By forcing the use of specialized skills, it ensures Claude uses the most relevant domain knowledge and follows rigorous process steps like TDD or debugging workflows.

What is the '1% rule' mentioned in the skill?

The rule states that if there is even a 1% chance a skill might apply to a task, the AI must invoke it rather than assuming it is unnecessary.

How does it handle multiple applicable skills?

It implements a priority system where process skills (like brainstorming or debugging) are invoked first, followed by implementation skills (like frontend design).

生産性とワークフロー

Enforces a disciplined, skill-first approach to all Claude Code tasks to ensure optimal tool usage and procedural consistency.

概要

The Superpowers Workflow skill acts as a mandatory procedural layer for Claude Code, requiring the AI to check for and invoke relevant specialized skills before taking any action or even answering clarifying questions. By establishing a strict '1% rule' for skill invocation, it eliminates the tendency to bypass standard workflows for seemingly simple tasks, ensuring that every interaction follows domain-specific best practices and maintains high execution standards through systematic, checklist-driven processes.
