skills

skills is a cursor rule for Cursor from mzored/superpowers-cc-to-codex. It costs 0 tokens per session (236 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of prompt-based instructions for coordinating software-development skills. Each skill has a short controller checklist and detailed guidance for the coding agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure brainstorming, debugging, implementation, and other development tasks that involve an AI coding agent.
Why use it?
It keeps workflows consistent and adds checkpoints such as design approval and finding the root cause before fixing a bug.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

skills scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Skills

Prompt-driven workflow definitions for forked Superpowers skills.

Structure

Each skill directory contains:

  • SKILL.md — Orchestration checklist for Claude (the controller)
  • prompts/*.md — Detailed execution guidance sent to Codex agents
  • Optional templates (*-template.md) and supporting methodology docs

Conventions

  • SKILL.md is for Claude: concise checklists, status handling, decision points
  • prompts/ are for Codex: detailed task structure, self-review, escalation protocols
  • Every SKILL.md carries an upstream sync header referencing the original Superpowers skill
  • Hard gates prevent implementation without approved design (brainstorming skill)
  • Systematic debugging enforces root cause investigation before any fix attempt

Anti-Patterns

  • Putting detailed execution guidance in SKILL.md instead of prompts/
  • Creating skills without a Codex agent, schema, and prompt
  • Skipping the design approval gate in brainstorming
  • Fixing symptoms without root cause investigation (systematic-debugging)
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
