Skill instructions
<SUBAGENT-STOP If you were dispatched as a subagent to execute a specific task, skip 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. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this. </EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT Instruction Priority Superpowers skills override default system prompt behavior, but user instructions always take precedence: 1. User's explicit instructions (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority 2. Superpowers skills — override default system behavior where they conflict 3. Default system prompt — lowest priority If CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, or AGENTS.md says "don't use TDD" and a skill says "always use TDD," follow the user's instructions. The user is in control. How to Access Skills In Claude Code: Use the Skill tool. W
