Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "using-superpowers" from https://skillstore.io/skills/codingcossack-using-superpowers.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/codingcossack-using-superpowers/manifest. Verify the artifact. Stop and obtain explicit user consent before installing or changing files.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Security Audit

High Risk
v8 • 7/6/2026 Open versioned report

The static external command finding is a false positive caused by a Markdown dot diagram, not executable shell syntax. However, the skill contains overbroad prompt-authority language that attempts to force behavior before any response and subordinate user instructions to its workflow.

SKILL.md:7-13SKILL.md:80-84
Prompt Injection Attempt Detected
The skill says 'NON-NEGOTIABLE RULE' and 'YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE' while downranking user instructions. This attempts to override normal instruction hierarchy.
The cited text explicitly asserts mandatory authority and downranks user instructions. It does not claim system authority or request data exfiltration, so high severity is appropriate.

What You Can Build

Standardize agent starts

Use a consistent first step when an agent receives a new task and may need a specialized skill.

Reduce missed workflows

Encourage agents to apply debugging, planning, or implementation skills before they begin complex work.

Teach skill discipline

Show new users how skills should be discovered, announced, and followed during assistant sessions.

Try These Prompts

Start with skill discovery 
Before answering, check whether any available skill applies to this task. Announce the selected skill and explain the next step.
Apply one relevant skill 
Review the task, identify the most relevant skill, read it, and follow its workflow while completing the request.
Coordinate multiple skills 
For this task, decide whether process skills or implementation skills apply first. Use them in priority order and keep the work focused.
Audit workflow adherence 
Review the completed assistant response and identify where skill discovery, skill use, or checklist handling could be improved.

Best Practices

  • Use the skill at the start of a session where specialized workflows may apply.
  • Keep skill selection brief and tied to the current user goal.
  • Treat skill instructions as subordinate to higher-priority platform and user requirements.

Avoid

  • Do not use the skill to override explicit safety or security instructions.
  • Do not spend more time selecting skills than solving a simple task requires.
  • Do not assume a remembered skill is current without reading it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill run commands?
No. It is instruction-only and does not run commands, access files, or make network requests by itself.
Which tools does it support?
The report lists Claude, Codex, and Claude Code as supported tools.
When should I use it?
Use it when an agent starts work and relevant skills may affect the correct workflow.
Can it choose the best skill automatically?
It provides guidance for skill discovery, but the host agent still makes the final selection.
Does it replace project instructions?
No. Skill guidance should remain subordinate to higher-priority platform, developer, and user instructions.
Is it safe for all marketplaces?
It needs safer wording because some lines try to impose broad behavior across all responses.
