using-superpowers

using-superpowers is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from andreaswasita/copilot-agents-dojo. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,782 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-start routine for a repository-based working framework called a dojo. It loads the framework’s active practices, reviews lessons and unfinished tasks, and checks the project state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when opening a new session, resuming after a handoff, or explicitly activating the dojo framework.
Why use it?
It gives each new or resumed session the context needed to work consistently instead of starting with forgotten assumptions or unnoticed unfinished work.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 8d 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.

Using Superpowers Skill

Loads the dojo framework at session start: confirms the core disciplines are active, surfaces relevant lessons, and verifies clean state before any work begins. Does NOT replace the underlying skills — it sequences their loading and the session opening ritual.

When to Use

  • At the start of every new session in a dojo-enabled repo.
  • When the user says "use superpowers", "activate the dojo", or "start the framework".
  • When another skill references the mandatory workflow.
  • After resuming from a checkpoint or context handoff.
  • NOT mid-session for already-active skills — re-loading wastes turns.

Prerequisites

  • The dojo is installed in the repo (skills/, optional-skills/, tasks/, spec/).
  • The view, edit, grep, and powershell Copilot tools.
  • git available to inspect branch + working tree.
  • tasks/lessons.md exists (created empty if first session).
  • scripts/verify.sh (or scripts/run-checks.ps1) available for the session-start gate.

How to Run

1. Review `tasks/lessons.md` for relevant active lessons.
2. Open `tasks/todo.md` — is there work in progress?
3. Confirm `git status`: right branch, clean tree (or known WIP).
4. Acknowledge: "Dojo framework active. Core disciplines loaded."
5. Hand off to the trigger skill for the user's actual request.

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.
