What the skill teaches

A skill from the Superpowers collection that makes an agent talk a request through before building anything, in software or elsewhere. Small, clear requests are simply done; otherwise the agent reads the existing context, asks one plain question at a time, recommends one of two or three concrete approaches, and plays back its understanding for correction. It then writes a design document sized to the work, checks it with a fresh sub-agent for open questions, and will not scaffold, install or build until the user approves it, after which it hands over to the planning skill. In a repository the design is saved under docs/superpowers/specs. It can open a browser companion for mockups.

Capabilities

  • Ask clarifying questions one at a time before building
  • Propose and compare two or three approaches
  • Write a design document for the user to approve
  • Block implementation until the design is approved
