Using Superpowers: Skill Activation Protocol

About

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.

Key Features

• Mandatory Skill Tool invocation logic for all tasks
• Automated Todo generation from skill-specific checklists
• Rigid vs. Flexible adaptation protocols based on skill type
• Identification of rationalization 'Red Flags' to prevent skipped steps
• Hierarchical skill priority for process vs. implementation
• 0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Onboarding and managing multiple Claude Code skills within a single repository
• Standardizing AI workflows across complex enterprise development projects
• Ensuring domain-specific best practices are applied before codebase exploration
