What this skill does
Getting Started with Skills Critical Rules 1. Use Read tool before announcing skill usage. The session-start hook does NOT read skills for you. Announcing without calling Read = lying. 2. Follow mandatory workflows. Brainstorming before coding. Check for skills before ANY task. 3. 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: ${SUPERPOWERSSKILLSROOT}/skills/category/skill-name/SKILL.md Read ENTIRE file, not just frontmatter Announce: "I've read [Skill Name] skill and I'm using it to [purpose]" Follow it exactly Don't rationalize: "I remember this skill" - Skills evolve. Read the current version. "Session-start showed it to me" - That was using-skills/SKILL.md only. Read the actual skill. "This doesn't count as a task" - It counts. Find and read skills. Why: Skills document proven techniques that save time and prevent mistakes. Not using available skills means repeating solved problems and making known errors. If a skill for your task exists, you must use it or you will fail at your task. Skills with Checklists If a skill has a checklist, YOU MUST create TodoWrite todos for EACH item. Don't: Work through checklist mentally Skip creating todos "to save time" Batch multiple items into one todo Mark complete without doing them Why: Checklists without TodoWrite tracking = steps get skipped. Every time. The overhead of TodoWrite is tiny compared to the cost of missing steps. …
