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

using-superpowers 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to superpowers — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

If a relevant skill exists, you do not get to skip it because the task feels small or familiar.

How to Access Skills

In Codex CLI: Open the relevant SKILL.md under ~/.codex/skills or the workspace-provided skill pack, then follow it directly.

If a skill includes a checklist: mirror the checklist in update_plan so progress stays visible while you work.

Using Skills

The Rule

Open relevant or requested skills before any response or action. Even a 1% chance that a skill applies means you should inspect it first. If a skill turns out not to fit, you can stop using it after reading it.

`dot digraph skill_flow { "User message received" [shape=doublecircle]; "About to start work?" [shape=doublecircle]; "Already brainstormed?" [shape=diamond]; "Open brainstorming skill" [shape=box]; "Might a skill apply?" [shape=diamond]; "Open matching SKILL.md" [shape=box]; "Announce: Using [skill]" [shape=box]; "Has checklist?" [shape=diamond]; "Mirror checklist in update_plan" [shape=box]; "Follow skill exactly" [shape=box]; "Respond" [shape=doublecircle];

"About to start work?" -> "Already brainstormed?";
"Already brainstormed?" -> "Open brainstorming skill" [label="no"];
"Already brainstormed?" -> "Might a skill apply?" [label="yes"];
"Open brainstorming skill" -> "Might a skill apply?";

"User message received" -> "Might a skill apply?";
"Might a skill apply?" -> "Open matching SKILL.md" [label="yes, even 1%"];
"Might a skill apply?" -> "Respond" [label="definitely not"];
"Open matching SKILL.md" -> "Announce: Using [skill]";
"Announce: Using [skill]" -> "Has checklist?";
"Has checklist?" -> "Mirror checklist in update_plan" [label="yes"];
"Has checklist?" -> "Follow skill exactly" [label="no"];
"Mirror checklist in update_plan" -> "Follow skill exactly";

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.
