Skill instructions

Reference: The Superpowers Pipeline The full development workflow: /brainstorm - Design document (user validates each section) | /write-plan - Implementation plan (bite-sized TDD tasks) | /execute-plan - Subagent-driven development (implement - spec-review - quality-review per task) | /verify - Fresh evidence that everything works | /finish - Merge / PR / Keep / Discard At any point, if bugs arise: /debug (4-phase systematic debugging). Priority order when multiple modes could apply: 1. Process modes first (/brainstorm, /debug) -- determine HOW to approach the task 2. Implementation modes second (/write-plan, /execute-plan) -- guide execution 3. Completion modes last (/verify, /finish) -- close out work Reference: Mode Tool The mode tool allows programmatic mode transitions.

This is useful when agents need to request transitions during automa
