1brainstormingYou MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.385.6K
2systematic-debuggingUse when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes282.2K
3writing-plansUse when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code267.9K
4using-superpowersUse when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring skill invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions259.7K
5requesting-code-reviewUse when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements245.6K
6test-driven-developmentUse when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code244.5K
7verification-before-completionUse when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always230.1K
8executing-plansUse when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints229K
9subagent-driven-developmentUse when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session221.6K
10receiving-code-reviewUse when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation208.7K
11dispatching-parallel-agentsUse when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies206.1K
12writing-skillsUse when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment205.6K
13using-git-worktreesUse when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback205.1K
14finishing-a-development-branchUse when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work202.1K
15diagnosing-superpowersUse when a superpowers session went wrong and your human partner wants to know why — repeated work, ignored plans, stumbles, poor results, a skill that didn't fire, "it took too long", "why is it so expensive", "what is it doing" — or wants to build a bug report for the superpowers maintainers, for the current session or a past one identified by id or path, on any harness.9.1K
