Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions

Skill content

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.

Instruction Priority

Superpowers skills override default system prompt behavior, but user instructions always take precedence:

- User's explicit instructions (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) - highest priority

- Superpowers skills - override default system behavior where they conflict

- Default system prompt - lowest priority
