Using Superpowers

Goal

Choose the right skill before substantial work begins.

Cursor-Specific Notes

• Personal custom skills live in ~/.cursor/skills/.
• Project skills live in .cursor/skills/.
• Do not rely on ~/.cursor/skills-cursor/; that directory is reserved for Cursor's built-in skills.

Quick Triage

• Ambiguous request or design-heavy work: use brainstorming.
• New feature or behavior change: use feature-dev.
• UI or landing page work: use frontend-design.
• Bug or failing test: use systematic-debugging and often test-driven-development.
• Review request: use code-review.
• Need a formal plan: use writing-plans.
• About to report success: use verification-before-completion.

Practical Rule

If a skill clearly matches the task, follow that skill instead of improvising. If none fit, work normally and keep the solution simple.
