## Instruction Priority
|
||||
|
||||
Superpowers skills override default system prompt behavior, but **user instructions always take precedence**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **User's explicit instructions** (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority
|
||||
2. **Superpowers skills** — override default system behavior where they conflict
|
||||
3. **Default system prompt** — lowest priority
|
||||
|
||||
If CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, or AGENTS.md says "don't use TDD" and a skill says "always use TDD," follow the user's instructions. The user is in control.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Access Skills
|
||||
|
||||
**Never read skill files manually with file tools** — always use your platform's skill-loading mechanism so the skill is properly activated.
|
||||
|
||||
**In Claude Code:** Use the `Skill` tool. When you invoke a skill, its content is loaded and presented to you — follow it directly.
|
||||
|
||||
**In Codex:** Skills load natively. Follow the instructions presented when a skill activates.
|
||||
|
||||
**In Copilot CLI:** Use the `skill` tool. Skills are auto-discovered from installed plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
**In Gemini CLI:** Skills activate via the `activate_skill` tool. Gemini loads skill metadata at session start and activates the full content on demand.
|
||||
|
||||
**In other environments:** Check your platform's documentation for how skills are loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
## Platform Adaptation
|
||||
|
||||
Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file") rather than naming any one runtime's tools. For per-platform tool equivalents and instructions-file conventions, see [claude-code-tools.md](references/claude-code-tools.md), [codex-tools.md](references/codex-tools.md), [copilot-tools.md](references/copilot-tools.md), [gemini-tools.md](references/gemini-tools.md), [pi-tools.md](references/pi-tools.md), and [antigravity-tools.md](references/antigravity-tools.md). Gemini CLI users get the tool mapping loaded automatically via GEMINI.md.

# Using Skills
|
||||
|
||||
## The Rule
|
||||
|
||||
**Invoke relevant or requested skills BEFORE any response or action** — including clarifying questions, exploring the codebase, or checking files. If it turns out wrong for the situation, you don't have to use it.
|
||||
**Invoke relevant or requested skills BEFORE any response or action.** Even a 1% chance a skill might apply means that you should invoke the skill to check. If an invoked skill turns out to be wrong for the situation, you don't need to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
**Before entering plan mode:** if you haven't already brainstormed, invoke the brainstorming skill first.
|
||||
```dot
|
||||
digraph skill_flow {
|
||||
"User message received" [shape=doublecircle];
|
||||
"About to enter plan mode?" [shape=doublecircle];
|
||||
"Already brainstormed?" [shape=diamond];
|
||||
"Invoke brainstorming skill" [shape=box];
|
||||
"Might any skill apply?" [shape=diamond];
|
||||
"Invoke the skill" [shape=box];
|
||||
"Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'" [shape=box];
|
||||
"Has checklist?" [shape=diamond];
|
||||
"Create a todo per item" [shape=box];
|
||||
"Follow skill exactly" [shape=box];
|
||||
"Respond (including clarifications)" [shape=doublecircle];
|
||||
|
||||
Then announce "Using [skill] to [purpose]" and follow the skill exactly. If it has a checklist, create a todo per item.
|
||||
"About to enter plan mode?" -> "Already brainstormed?";
|
||||
"Already brainstormed?" -> "Invoke brainstorming skill" [label="no"];
|
||||
"Already brainstormed?" -> "Might any skill apply?" [label="yes"];
|
||||
"Invoke brainstorming skill" -> "Might any skill apply?";
|
||||
|
||||
## Skill Priority
|
||||
|
||||
When multiple skills apply, process skills come first — they set the approach, then implementation skills (frontend-design, etc.) carry it out. Brainstorming and systematic-debugging are Superpowers' most common process skills, but the rule holds for any of them.
|
||||
|
||||
- "Let's build X" → superpowers:brainstorming first, then implementation skills.
|
||||
- "Fix this bug" → superpowers:systematic-debugging first, then domain skills.
|
||||
"User message received" -> "Might any skill apply?";
|
||||
"Might any skill apply?" -> "Invoke the skill" [label="yes, even 1%"];
|
||||
"Might any skill apply?" -> "Respond (including clarifications)" [label="definitely not"];
|
||||
"Invoke the skill" -> "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'";

"Has checklist?" -> "Follow skill exactly" [label="no"];
|
||||
"Create a todo per item" -> "Follow skill exactly";
|
||||
}

## Platform Adaptation
|

## Skill Priority
|
||||
|
||||
If your harness appears here, read its reference file for special instructions:
|
||||
When multiple skills could apply, use this order:
|
||||
|
||||
- Codex: `references/codex-tools.md`
|
||||
- Pi: `references/pi-tools.md`
|
||||
- Antigravity: `references/antigravity-tools.md`
|
||||
1. **Process skills first** (brainstorming, systematic-debugging) - these determine HOW to approach the task
|
||||
2. **Implementation skills second** (frontend-design, mcp-builder) - these guide execution
|
||||
|
||||
"Let's build X" → brainstorming first, then implementation skills.
|
||||
"Fix this bug" → systematic-debugging first, then domain-specific skills.
|
||||
|
||||
## Skill Types
|
||||
|
||||
**Rigid** (TDD, systematic-debugging): Follow exactly. Don't adapt away discipline.
|
||||
|
||||
**Flexible** (patterns): Adapt principles to context.
|
||||
|
||||
The skill itself tells you which.
|
||||
|
||||
## User Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
User instructions (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, etc, direct requests) take precedence over skills, which in turn override default behavior. Only skip skill workflows or instructions when your human partner has explicitly told you to.
|
||||
Instructions say WHAT, not HOW. "Add X" or "Fix Y" doesn't mean skip workflows.
