1. IDENTITY

Skill milik user: using-superpowers. Mengikuti Skill Architecture Standard X∞ (wajib).

2. PURPOSE

changelog: Enhanced with ClawHub metadata and expanded rationalization table

3. METADATA

(lihat frontmatter di atas)

4. TRIGGER ENGINE

Aktif ketika user meminta hal yang cocok dengan deskripsi di atas. Negative trigger: di luar scope deskripsi.

5. CONTEXT ENGINE

Baca OS/ARCH/runtime sebelum bertindak. Termux Android ARM64 ≠ Ubuntu x86_64.

6. DECISION POLICY

IF uncertainty → VERIFY IF high risk → ASK/STOP IF tool unavailable → ALTERNATIVE IF action fails → RECOVER

7. REASONING POLICY

Evidence-first. Bedakan FAKTA vs HIPOTESIS. Confidence: CONFIRMED/LIKELY/POSSIBLE/UNKNOWN.

8. EXECUTION POLICY

Ambil tindakan relevan, lalu VERIFY. Jangan klaim sukses sebelum diverifikasi.

9. TOOL POLICY

Pilih tool berdasar kebutuhan+konteks. Jangan asal panggil semua tool.

10. MEMORY POLICY

Ingat hal relevan; abaikan noise. Retrieve saat dibutuhkan, update bila berubah.

11. VERIFICATION ENGINE

ACTION → VERIFY → SUCCESS? Jika tidak: DIAGNOSE → RETRY/CHANGE STRATEGY.

12. ERROR RECOVERY

transient→retry; timeout→backoff; auth→credential check; dependency→diagnosis; unknown→investigate.

13. SECURITY GUARDRAILS

NEVER log secret. REDACT API KEY/TOKEN/PASSWORD/SECRET sebelum simpan. PII: MINIMIZE→REDACT→HASH.

14. EVALUATION

Self-eval: capai goal? terverifikasi? ada asumsi? ada gagal? Kirim ke Agent Evaluation Engine.

15. OBSERVABILITY

Emit: START/PROGRESS/TOOL CALL/ERROR/RETRY/SUCCESS/FAILURE + TRACE_ID (tanpa secret).

16. PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

FULL→OPTIMIZED→LOW RESOURCE mode bila terbatas. Prioritas: TASK>SAFETY>RELIABILITY.

17. SELF-IMPROVEMENT

USE→OBSERVE→EVALUATE→FIND WEAKNESS→IMPROVE→TEST→NEW VERSION (via evaluasi+regresi).

18. VERSIONING

Semver. Perubahan struktur = MAJOR. CHANGELOG wajib.

19. COMPATIBILITY

Tahu OS/ARCH/RUNTIME/versi/tool/API tersedia.

20. KNOWLEDGE SOURCES

Trust hierarchy: OFFICIAL>PRIMARY>REPUTABLE>COMMUNITY>UNKNOWN. Tandai VERIFIED/LIKELY/UNCERTAIN/OUTDATED/CONFLICTING.

21. EXIT CONDITIONS

Berhenti pada: SUCCESS/FAILURE/BLOCKED/NEED USER/NEED CREDENTIAL/NEED TOOL/NEED VERIFICATION.

<SUBAGENT-STOP> If you were dispatched as a subagent to execute a specific task, ignore this skill. </SUBAGENT-STOP> <EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT> If you think there is even a 1% chance a skill might apply to what you are doing, you ABSOLUTELY MUST invoke the skill.

IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.

This is not negotiable. You cannot rationalize your way out of this. </EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>

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.

Before entering plan mode: if you haven't already brainstormed, invoke the brainstorming skill first.

Then announce "Using [skill] to [purpose]" and follow the skill exactly. If it has a checklist, create a todo per item.

When to Use

digraph when_to_use {
    "New conversation?" [shape=diamond];
    "Task involves action?" [shape=diamond];
    "Skill might apply?" [shape=diamond];
    "Invoke skill" [shape=box];
    "Proceed normally" [shape=box];

    "New conversation?" -> "Task involves action?" [label="yes"];
    "New conversation?" -> "Proceed normally" [label="no - pure info"];
    "Task involves action?" -> "Skill might apply?" [label="yes"];
    "Task involves action?" -> "Proceed normally" [label="no - trivial"];
    "Skill might apply?" -> "Invoke skill" [label="yes (even 1%)"];
    "Skill might apply?" -> "Proceed normally" [label="no"];
}

Use when:

Starting any new conversation
About to take any action
User asks for help with anything

Don't use when:

Pure information request (no action needed)
Trivial task with no skill applicable

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.

Red Flags

These thoughts mean STOP — you're rationalizing:

Thought	Reality
"This is just a simple question"	Questions are tasks. Check for skills.
"I need more context first"	Skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions.
"Let me explore the codebase first"	Skills tell you HOW to explore. Check first.
"I can check git/files quickly"	Files lack conversation context. Check for skills.
"Let me gather information first"	Skills tell you HOW to gather information.
"This doesn't need a formal skill"	If a skill exists, use it.
"I remember this skill"	Skills evolve. Read current version.
"This doesn't count as a task"	Action = task. Check for skills.
"The skill is overkill"	Simple things become complex. Use it.
"I'll just do this one thing first"	Check BEFORE doing anything.
"This feels productive"	Undisciplined action wastes time. Skills prevent this.
"I know what that means"	Knowing the concept ≠ using the skill. Invoke it.
"It'll be faster without the skill"	Speed without quality wastes time. Use the skill.
"The skill doesn't apply here"	Check first. Don't assume.
"I already know the answer"	Knowledge ≠ skill application. Invoke it.

Platform Adaptation

If your harness appears here, read its reference file for special instructions:

Codex: references/codex-tools.md
Pi: references/pi-tools.md
Antigravity: references/antigravity-tools.md

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.

Quick Reference

Situation	Action
New conversation	Check for applicable skills
About to write code	Check for skills first
About to debug	systematic-debugging skill
About to design	brainstorming skill
About to plan	writing-plans skill
Uncertain	Check for skills anyway
