Using Superpowers

About

Acts as a foundational bootstrap protocol that ensures Claude identifies and implements specialized domain skills before beginning any task. This skill mandates a rigorous pre-response checklist, requiring the use of the Skill tool to discover relevant capabilities, enforcing brainstorming sessions before any code is written, and requiring the conversion of skill-based checklists into trackable TodoWrite items. It is designed to prevent process shortcuts and ensure that proven techniques and domain-specific best practices are applied consistently across all interactions.
