Can I skip skill invocation for simple questions?

No. The protocol dictates that all questions are tasks, and checking for relevant skills must occur before gathering context or attempting to answer.

Does this skill work with all Claude Code plugins?

Yes, it is designed as a meta-skill that manages how all other Claude Code skills are discovered, invoked, and implemented within a project.

What is the 1% rule in the Using Superpowers skill?

The rule mandates that if there is even a 1% chance a skill might apply to the current task, the Skill tool must be invoked before any other response or action.

What are 'Red Flags' in this context?

Red Flags are common internal rationalizations, such as 'I'll just do this one thing first' or 'this is overkill,' which the skill helps the AI identify and avoid to maintain discipline.

How does this skill handle multiple applicable plugins?

It follows a strict priority order: process-oriented skills (like brainstorming or debugging) are invoked first, followed by implementation-specific skills (like frontend design).

生産性とワークフロー

Enforces a disciplined workflow for identifying and invoking specialized Claude Code skills before performing any development task.

概要

The Using Superpowers skill establishes a mandatory protocol for Claude Code to ensure specialized capabilities are never overlooked. By requiring the invocation of the Skill tool at the very start of a conversation—even before clarifying questions—it prevents 'rationalization' and ensures that domain-specific best practices, checklists, and implementation patterns are always applied. This meta-skill optimizes the use of other plugins by setting clear rules for skill priority and identifying 'red flags' where the AI might otherwise skip necessary workflows.
