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.
