using-superpowers

using-superpowers is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jnMetaCode/superpowers-zh. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,182 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for checking and using available skills before starting other work. A skill is a reusable set of directions for a particular type of task.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help identify applicable skills, read their current instructions, choose the right order when several apply, and follow platform-specific guidance.
Why use it?
They reduce the chance of missing required guidance, especially when a task needs a specific workflow such as brainstorming, debugging, or frontend design.

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5 $0.00038 $0.01182
Opus 5 $0.00019 $0.00591
Sonnet 5 $0.00008 $0.00236

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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

如果一个技能适用于你的任务,你没有选择。你必须使用它。

这不可协商。你不能通过合理化来逃避。

规则

在任何响应或操作之前调用相关或被请求的技能——包括澄清性问题、探索代码库、或查看文件之前。如果调用后发现技能不适合当前情况,你不需要使用它。

在进入 EnterPlanMode 之前: 如果你还没有头脑风暴过,先调用头脑风暴技能。

然后宣布"使用 [技能] 来 [目的]",并严格遵循该技能。如果它有检查清单,为每个条目创建一个待办。

技能优先级

当多个技能都适用时,流程技能优先——它们决定处理方式,然后由实现技能(前端设计等)负责执行。头脑风暴和系统化调试是 Superpowers 中最常见的流程技能,但这条规则适用于任何流程技能。

  • "让我们构建 X" → 先用 superpowers:brainstorming,再用实现技能。
  • "修复这个 bug" → 先用 superpowers:systematic-debugging,再用领域技能。

红线

这些想法意味着停下——你在合理化:

想法 现实
"这只是一个简单的问题" 问题就是任务。检查技能。
"我需要先了解更多上下文" 技能检查在澄清性问题之前。
"让我先探索一下代码库" 技能告诉你如何探索。先检查。
"我可以快速查一下 git/文件" 文件缺少对话上下文。检查技能。
"让我先收集信息" 技能告诉你如何收集信息。
"这不需要正式的技能" 如果技能存在,就使用它。
"我记得这个技能" 技能会迭代更新。阅读当前版本。
"这不算一个任务" 行动 = 任务。检查技能。
"技能太小题大做了" 简单的事会变复杂。使用它。
"让我先做这一件事" 在做任何事之前先检查。
"这样做感觉很高效" 无纪律的行动浪费时间。技能防止这一点。
"我知道那是什么意思" 知道概念 ≠ 使用技能。调用它。

中国特色技能路由

🇨🇳 本节是 superpowers-zh 的增量内容,上游 obra/superpowers 没有。 用于把中文场景路由到本 fork 原创的 chinese-* 系列 skill。其余各节均为逐节翻译。

当检测到以下场景时,必须优先调用对应的中国特色技能:

场景 调用技能
代码审查且团队使用中文沟通 superpowers:chinese-code-review
使用 Gitee/Coding/极狐 GitLab superpowers:chinese-git-workflow
编写中文技术文档或 README superpowers:chinese-documentation
编写 git commit message(中文项目) superpowers:chinese-commit-conventions
构建 MCP 服务器/工具 superpowers:mcp-builder

判断依据:

  • 项目中有中文注释、中文 README、或 .gitee 目录 → 启用中文系列技能
  • commit 历史中有中文 → 使用中文提交规范
  • 用户用中文交流 → 所有输出使用中文,优先考虑中国特色技能

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.
