From README

The Rule Invoke relevant or requested skills BEFORE any response or action — including clarifying questions, exploring the codebase, or checking files. If it turns out wrong for the situation, you don't have to use it. Before entering plan mode: if you haven't already brainstormed, invoke the brainstorming skill first. Then announce "Using [skill] to [purpose]" and follow the skill exactly. If it has a checklist, create a todo per item. Skill Priority When multiple skills apply, process skills come first — they set the approach, then implementation skills (frontend-design, etc.) carry it out. Brainstorming and systematic-debugging are Superpowers' most common process skills, but the rule holds for any of them. "Let's build X" → superpowers:brainstorming first, then implementation skills. "Fix this bug" → superpowers:systematic-debugging first, then domain skills.
