Superpowers

Purpose

This is the entry skill for the pack. Use it to choose the right companion workflow before doing substantial work.

Skill Selection Guide

• Use `brainstorming` when requirements are fuzzy or design decisions matter.
• Use `feature-dev` when building a new feature or changing behavior in a structured way.
• Use `frontend-design` when creating or redesigning UI with a strong visual direction.
• Use `systematic-debugging` when investigating bugs, failing tests, or unexpected behavior.
• Use `code-review` when reviewing local files, diffs, or a PR for real issues.
• Use `writing-plans` when the user wants a written implementation plan.
• Use `executing-plans` when there is already a plan and you should execute it in batches.
• Use `verification-before-completion` before claiming work is complete or passing.

Operating Rules

• Pick one primary workflow skill for the task.
• Combine skills only when the combination is genuinely useful.
• Reuse existing project patterns before introducing new abstractions.
• Ask concise clarifying questions before editing when the request is underspecified.
• Keep the user informed about the chosen workflow when the work is substantial.

Avoid

• Mentioning vendor-specific runtimes or internal tooling.
• Forcing the same workflow onto every task.
• Skipping verification before making completion claims.
