Can I skip the brainstorming phase?

No. This skill enforces a 'brainstorm before code' rule to ensure the architecture and logic are fully vetted before any implementation begins.

What is the main purpose of the Using Superpowers skill?

It establishes a mandatory protocol for Claude to check for, announce, and strictly follow available skills before performing any task, ensuring no specialized knowledge is overlooked.

How does it improve transparency?

By requiring Claude to announce exactly which skill it is using and why, it helps human partners understand the process and catch potential errors early.

Why does it require TodoWrite for checklists?

Mental checklists are prone to error; converting them into TodoWrite tasks ensures every step of a skill is physically tracked and executed without skipping steps.

Does this skill work for simple questions?

Yes. The protocol treats all requests as tasks, ensuring that even seemingly simple questions benefit from relevant skill context and proven techniques.
