- Timeline Trace InvestigatorSpecialized investigator for reconstructing incident timelines from distributed traces, logs, deployments, and metrics. Produces structured TimelineEvidence for the debug conductor. NOT a standalone skill — dispatched by debug-conductor as part of forked debugging.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Token EstimationTranslates implementation effort questions into token-range estimates with confidence bands when an AI agent is doing the work. REQUIRED UNIT CONVENTION: bans day/week/sprint/story-point output. Token ranges are pre-flight planning references only. Triggered by explicit AI-effort estimation phrasing — NOT by generic 'estimate this' or 'scope this' alone.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Unified Commit GateUnified quality gate for commit and push: lint/build/test, style, adversarial code review, language audit, and IP scan. For push: adds sentinel check and proof-of-output requirement. Replaces all 5 individual gate skills plus pre-push-quality-gate.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Using Git WorktreesUse when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verificationVotes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Using SuperpowersUse when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questionsVotes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Verification Before CompletionUse before claiming any work is complete, fixed, or passing — and before writing any response that presents results to a human. Requires evidence before assertions. If code was changed, check battery sentinel (or dispatch battery) before the completion claim. See AUTO-FIRE section in skill body for self-assessment trigger conditions.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Experimental Self Prompting⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL - Write comprehensive context-free prompts before analyzing code. Validated in 20-round experiment but NOT production-ready. Always verify outputs manually.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Issue AuthoringUse when creating issues in your project tracker. Enforces formatting standards, required fields, label validation, duplicate checking.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Issue Comment DebunkerUse BEFORE posting any comment or update to issue tickets. Prevents (1) fabricated investigation summaries and (2) AI meta-commentary in ticket history.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Issue EditingUse when updating issues in your project tracker. Enforces fetch-before-edit workflow to prevent stale updates, validates field changes, detects concurrent modifications.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Issue Link VerificationUse when adding URLs to issue descriptions or comments. Verifies all links before posting to prevent broken references.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Issue VerifyUse when referencing issues in documentation, commits, or PRs. Verifies issue identifiers exist, validates cross-references.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Completeness CheckDetect incomplete work in repositories from AI assistant crashes, context exhaustion, or mid-implementation distractions. Use before claiming work complete or when auditing accumulated debt.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Evolution LoopSelf-improvement cycle: scans session logs, failure autopsies, and decision logs for recurring patterns. Auto-generates skill updates or new skills. Tracks improvement metrics over time.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Exhaustive Audit ValidationUse BEFORE claiming any audit, refactoring, or bulk-edit task is complete. Enforces exhaustive scope enumeration, item-by-item tracking, automated validation, and coverage metrics. Prevents incomplete work from being marked as done.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Failure AutopsyPost-mortem analyzer for incorrect assumptions and failed approaches. Produces root cause analysis (5-Why), pattern detection, and preventive actions. INVOKE after any approach that turned out wrong.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Holistic Repo VerificationVerify ALL aspects of repository health before claiming work is complete. Checks CI workflows, GitHub Pages deployment, and any other workflows that affect repo status.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Measurement IntegrityHARD GATE — Forces cross-validation, completeness verification, and confidence qualification before reporting ANY metric or percentage.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Skill Health CheckStructural lint for skill files: validates YAML frontmatter has required fields, checks line count limits, and enforces coordination metadata (group, order, internal) as errors. Reports missing Failure Modes sections as warnings. Does NOT check runtime behavior (use superpowers-doctor for that).Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Skill Trigger AuditDynamic, behavioral audit of whether a skill wins, loses, or wrongly wins the skill-router hook's routing decision against positive, negative, and adversarial prompts -- complements skill-health-check's structural lint, which never runs a prompt through the real scorer. Requires the installed skill-router hook; degrades to a clear error, not a guess, when absent.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Substrate Claim AuditHard gate. Use BEFORE sending output that NAMES artifacts (metrics, fields, file paths, ticket IDs, function names) or QUOTES numeric thresholds. Requires grep-verified evidence for every named symbol AND a baseline citation for every numeric target. Fires on the PROPOSAL pattern -- different from output-verification (file outputs) and verification-before-completion (completion claims). Prevents confabulated-substrate AI slop.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Superpowers DoctorIndustrial-grade integrity check for the local skill ecosystem. Iterates across EVERY installed skill with 27 harsh diagnostic checks spanning 4 severity tiers. Finds broken YAML, name mismatches, dead references, trigger collisions, orphaned installs, oversized skills, content corruption, reference file drift, CRLF line endings, UTF-8 BOM, structural defects, stale/dirty managed checkouts, TODO archive regressions, reviewer-dispatch rendering issues, and agent content drift. Modeled after br...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Adversarial SearchUse when investigating bugs, inconsistencies, conducting any search/grep task, OR when the user requests rigorous/thorough/comprehensive analysis. Routed to by thinking-orchestrator for confirmation-bias, negative-finding, and depth-challenge triggers. Prevents confirmation bias by forcing search for the WRONG thing, not just confirming the RIGHT thing exists.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Autonomous Chain ControllerMeta-orchestrator that auto-detects required skill chain, executes with quality gates between steps, and auto-retries on failures. User says \"build X\" — this handles brainstorming through verification.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Code Review RespondUse when acting as the reviewer agent for a ~/.codex/superpowers-review/ request.md → response.md file protocol handoffVotes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Context FerryPreserve a session before compaction: update its execution doc, capture pending questions and work, then save and print a resume prompt. PreCompact appends to its scaffold.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Domain DesignUse when designing a new superpowers skill family from scratch — orchestrates the full research → brainstorm → harsh review → prioritize → document cycle. Produces a prioritized skill roster, architecture decision, infrastructure map, and blocker list. Does NOT build skills.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Durable CorrectionRedirect when a human reports a repeated mistake or failed prior fix. Repair the defect, replace the failed control with durable enforcement, and prove failure and success paths before claiming prevention. First-time bugs remain lightweight.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Enforce Style GuideEnforce coding standards before any commit. Checks shebang, error handling, help flags, verbose flags, line limits, ShellCheck compliance, and syntax validation.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Fallback PlanningUse when a primary implementation plan has identified risks that could invalidate the approach. Generates machine-agnostic fallback TODOs for the top 2-3 risks, each with enough context for a different agent to execute cold.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Golden AgentsUse when initializing a new git repo with AI guidance, upgrading existing repos with inadequate AI guidance, or when user says "set up AI guidance" or "add AGENTS.md" - detects repo state and offers appropriate workflow.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- InnovationUse when: user wants a single high-conviction innovation answer — the smartest, most radically innovative, accretive, useful, and compelling addition to this project right now. Skip when: incremental ideas (brainstorming), bug fixes (systematic-debugging), implementation planning (plan-and-execute), or ops/repair tasks.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Inter Agent Review ProtocolUse when sending work to a separate reviewer agent or executing reviewer findings via the ~/.codex/superpowers-review/ request.md → response.md file protocolVotes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Knowledge CaptureUse when capturing SME expertise through structured interviewing (proactive), or formalizing conversations/debug sessions/tribal knowledge into durable wiki documentation (reactive). Bottom-line-up-front articles with provenance, published to your team's wiki. NOT for editing existing wiki pages, design exploration, or casual Q&A.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Model SelectorUse when user explicitly asks which AI model to use, says "pick a model", "what model should I use", "which model is best for this", "should I switch models", or "help me choose a model". Guides model selection from the approved list to optimize cost without compromising quality.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- No Empty PromisesPRIME DIRECTIVE: Intercepts empty AI promises ('I'll be more careful next time') and replaces them with structural superpowers code changes. Promises are zero-value — code changes are persistent and verifiable.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Plan And ExecuteGeneral-purpose orchestrator for challenge → plan → stress-test → phased execution. Produces a plan, stress-tests it, then enrolls each phase as an autonomous TODO with deliverables, success criteria, and built-in quality gates. Between phases, runs structured retrospectives that drive improvements into all upcoming TODOs.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Quantitative Decision GateHARD GATE — Forces quantitative evaluation with a decision matrix before ANY question to the user. If the agent can score options numerically, it MUST choose highest-scoring and PROCEED. Only escalate when top 2 score within 10% AND decision is irreversible.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- ScreenshotVisual input bridge. Grabs the N most recent screenshots from the configured folder and dispatches to an intent-driven action. Supports fix (with project context), explain, compare, spec, do-this, recap, and free-form. Cross-platform folder discovery with auto-populate to ~/.codex/.env.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Session StatusReport where the current coding session stands: what's left, session status, where does this session stand. Covers work in flight, remaining work, questions you were asked and never answered, unresolved decisions, blockers, and a suggested session title. USE WHEN checking mid-flight what remains in a session.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Skill AuthoringThe genesis capability — create new skills from natural language descriptions, observed patterns, or codebase analysis. Makes superpowers-plus self-extending.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Superpowers HelpDynamically enumerates ALL installed skills at runtime, distinguishing superpowers (auto-triggered) from explicit skills. Never stale — always reflects current installation.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Think TwiceHelps the AI coding assistant break out of spirals and stuck loops. Routed to by thinking-orchestrator for stuck-loop and circular-reasoning triggers. When triggered (by user or self-detection), pauses to consult a fresh sub-agent with zero shared context.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Thinking OrchestratorHub skill for thinking and metacognition. Routes to the correct thinking skill based on context — adversarial-search, think-twice, verification-before-completion, exhaustive-audit-validation, or completeness-check. Load this skill when ANY thinking trigger fires; it will dispatch to the right child.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Todo ArchiveLow-level archive engine for completed tasks in TODO.md. Companion to todo-management; routine housekeeping should usually go through todo-maintenance.sh.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Todo GuardianUse when: detecting deferral language in agent output. Captures loose ends immediately via todo-crud.sh and blocks completion claims if unresolved items exist. ENFORCEMENT, not CRUD.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Todo ManagementUse when capturing tasks, tracking work, triaging priorities, querying task history, or executing multi-step plans.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Update SuperpowersUpdate superpowers-plus to latest, rerun its installer and any managed overlay installs, and verify with sp-doctor. Supports --branch to update a specific superpowers-plus branch.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Expert InterviewerUse when extracting domain knowledge from a user through structured interviewing to produce a written artifact (wiki page, reference doc, problem space overview). NOT for feature design — use brainstorming for that.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
- Incorporating ResearchUse when user asks to incorporate, merge, or add external research (from Perplexity, web searches, ChatGPT, etc.) into existing documents - prevents misinterpreting "incorporate" as "review", strips artifacts, preserves document voice, and confirms scope before editing.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 8
