Getting Started with Skills
Critical Rules
-
Use Read tool before announcing skill usage. The session-start hook does NOT read skills for you. Announcing without calling Read = lying.
-
Follow mandatory workflows. Brainstorming before coding. Check for skills before ANY task.
-
Create TodoWrite todos for checklists. Mental tracking = steps get skipped. Every time.
Mandatory Workflow: Before ANY Task
1. Check skills list at session start, or run find-skills [PATTERN] to filter.
2. If relevant skill exists, YOU MUST use it:
- Use Read tool with full path:
${SUPERPOWERS_SKILLS_ROOT}/skills/category/skill-name/SKILL.md - Read ENTIRE file, not just frontmatter

6context-manager
Maintain compiled context artifacts for stateless agent spawning. This skill produces BOOT_CONTEXT (stable project brain), DELTA_CONTEXT (recent changes), and feature bundles so any agent can spawn with deep understanding without reading the entire repo. Use this skill when setting up multi-agent workflows or when agents need fast, token-efficient onboarding.
