Included skills

5bf4e7801107

Skill-Name-With-Hyphens

use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/writing-skills
5bf4e7801107

brainstorming

You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/brainstorming
5bf4e7801107

diagnosing-superpowers

Use when a superpowers session went wrong and your human partner wants to know why — repeated work, ignored plans, stumbles, poor results, a skill that didn't fire, "it took too long", "why is it so expensive", "what is it doing" — or wants to build a bug report for the superpowers maintainers, for the current session or a past one identified by id or path, on any harness.

5bf4e7801107

dispatching-parallel-agents

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/dispatching-parallel-agents
5bf4e7801107

executing-plans

Use when executing an implementation plan in the current session as the implementer yourself — your human partner chose inline execution, or no subagent tool is available

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/executing-plans
5bf4e7801107

finishing-a-development-branch

Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/finishing-a-development-branch
5bf4e7801107

receiving-code-review

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/receiving-code-review
5bf4e7801107

requesting-code-review

Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/requesting-code-review
5bf4e7801107

subagent-driven-development

Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/subagent-driven-development
5bf4e7801107

systematic-debugging

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/systematic-debugging
5bf4e7801107

test-driven-development

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/test-driven-development
5bf4e7801107

using-git-worktrees

Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/using-git-worktrees
5bf4e7801107

using-superpowers

Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring skill invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/using-superpowers
5bf4e7801107

verification-before-completion

Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/verification-before-completion
5bf4e7801107

writing-plans

Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code

skillmarket install greatsage_sh/writing-plans
