How does skill priority work when multiple skills apply?

Process skills (like brainstorming or debugging) should be invoked first to determine the approach, followed by implementation skills (like frontend design or API development).

How does this skill handle checklists?

If an invoked skill contains a checklist, this skill directs the agent to create a TodoWrite entry for each item to ensure 100% compliance with the workflow.

What are 'Red Flags' in this context?

Red Flags are common rationalizations, such as 'this is just a simple question' or 'I'll do one thing first,' that tempt the user or AI to skip the disciplined skill workflow.

Should I ask clarifying questions before invoking a skill?

No, this skill requires checking for and invoking relevant skills before providing any response, including requests for more context or clarifying questions.

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

The 1% rule mandates that if there is even a 1% chance a specific skill might apply to your current task, you must invoke it before proceeding with any other action.

Productivity & Workflow

Enforces a strict "skill-first" protocol to ensure relevant domain-specific capabilities are invoked before any response or action.

The Using Superpowers skill acts as a foundational meta-skill for Claude Code, establishing a rigorous framework for tool invocation and agentic discipline. It mandates that the AI agent checks for and activates applicable specialized skills at the very beginning of an interaction—even before asking clarifying questions or exploring a codebase. By eliminating rationalization and providing a clear decision flowchart, this skill ensures that specialized best practices, checklists, and workflows are never bypassed, leading to more consistent, high-quality development outputs.
