Critical Rules

Use Read tool before announcing skill usage. The session-start hook does NOT read skills for you. Announcing without calling Read = lying.
Follow mandatory workflows. Brainstorming before coding. Check for skills before ANY task.
Create TodoWrite todos for checklists. Mental tracking = steps get skipped. Every time.

Mandatory Workflow: Before ANY Task

1. Check skills list at session start, or run

find-skills [PATTERN]

to filter.

2. If relevant skill exists, YOU MUST use it:

Use Read tool with full path:

${SUPERPOWERS_SKILLS_ROOT}/skills/category/skill-name/SKILL.md

Read ENTIRE file, not just frontmatter
Announce: "I've read [Skill Name] skill and I'm using it to [purpose]"
Follow it exactly
