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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to using-superpowers — 6 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 — 135 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。这不是可选的。你不能通过合理化来逃避。

指令优先级

Superpowers 技能覆盖默认系统提示行为,但用户指令始终具有最高优先级

  1. 用户的明确指令(CLAUDE.md、GEMINI.md、AGENTS.md、直接请求)——最高优先级
  2. Superpowers 技能 ——在冲突处覆盖默认系统行为
  3. 默认系统提示 ——最低优先级

如果 CLAUDE.md、GEMINI.md 或 AGENTS.md 说"不要使用 TDD",而某个技能说"始终使用 TDD",遵循用户的指令。用户拥有控制权。

如何访问技能

在 Claude Code 中: 使用 Skill 工具。当你调用一个技能时,其内容会被加载并呈现给你——直接遵循即可。绝不要用 Read 工具读取技能文件。

在 Gemini CLI 中: 技能通过 activate_skill 工具激活。Gemini 在会话开始时加载技能元数据,并按需激活完整内容。

在其他环境中: 查看你的平台文档了解技能的加载方式。

平台适配

技能使用 Claude Code 的工具名称。非 CC 平台:查看 references/codex-tools.md(Codex)了解工具对应关系。Gemini CLI 用户通过 GEMINI.md 自动获得工具映射。

使用技能

规则

在任何响应或操作之前调用相关或被请求的技能。 哪怕只有 1% 的可能性某个技能适用,你都应该调用该技能来检查。如果调用后发现技能不适合当前情况,你不需要使用它。

digraph skill_flow {
    "收到用户消息" [shape=doublecircle];
    "即将进入 EnterPlanMode?" [shape=doublecircle];
    "已经头脑风暴过?" [shape=diamond];
    "调用头脑风暴技能" [shape=box];
    "可能有技能适用?" [shape=diamond];
    "调用 Skill 工具" [shape=box];
    "宣布:'使用 [技能] 来 [目的]'" [shape=box];

    "已经头脑风暴过?" -> "调用头脑风暴技能" [label="否"];
    "已经头脑风暴过?" -> "可能有技能适用?" [label="是"];
    "调用头脑风暴技能" -> "可能有技能适用?";

    "宣布:'使用 [技能] 来 [目的]'" -> "有检查清单?";

    "有检查清单?" -> "严格遵循技能" [label="否"];
    "为每个条目创建 TodoWrite 待办" -> "严格遵循技能";
}

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。

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.
