|
|
|
+If you think there is even a 1% chance a skill might apply to what you are doing, you ABSOLUTELY MUST read the skill.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this.

|
+# Getting Started with Skills
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## MANDATORY FIRST RESPONSE PROTOCOL
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Before responding to ANY user message, you MUST complete this checklist:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. ☐ List available skills in your mind
|
|
|
+2. ☐ Ask yourself: "Does ANY skill match this request?"
|
|
|
+3. ☐ If yes → Use the Skill tool to read and run the skill file
|
|
|
+4. ☐ Announce which skill you're using
|
|
|
+5. ☐ Follow the skill exactly
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Responding WITHOUT completing this checklist = automatic failure.**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Critical Rules
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. **Follow mandatory workflows.** Brainstorming before coding. Check for relevant skills before ANY task.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2. Execute skills with the Skill tool
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Common Rationalizations That Mean You're About To Fail
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you catch yourself thinking ANY of these thoughts, STOP. You are rationalizing. Check for and use the skill.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- "This is just a simple question" → WRONG. Questions are tasks. Check for skills.
|
|
|
+- "I can check git/files quickly" → WRONG. Files don't have conversation context. Check for skills.
|
|
|
+- "Let me gather information first" → WRONG. Skills tell you HOW to gather information. Check for skills.
|
|
|
+- "This doesn't need a formal skill" → WRONG. If a skill exists for it, use it.
|
|
|
+- "I remember this skill" → WRONG. Skills evolve. Run the current version.
|
|
|
+- "This doesn't count as a task" → WRONG. If you're taking action, it's a task. Check for skills.
|
|
|
+- "The skill is overkill for this" → WRONG. Skills exist because simple things become complex. Use it.
|
|
|
+- "I'll just do this one thing first" → WRONG. Check for skills BEFORE doing anything.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Why:** Skills document proven techniques that save time and prevent mistakes. Not using available skills means repeating solved problems and making known errors.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If a skill for your task exists, you must use it or you will fail at your task.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Skills with Checklists
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If a skill has a checklist, YOU MUST create TodoWrite todos for EACH item.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Don't:**
|
|
|
+- Work through checklist mentally
|
|
|
+- Skip creating todos "to save time"
|
|
|
+- Batch multiple items into one todo
|
|
|
+- Mark complete without doing them
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Why:** Checklists without TodoWrite tracking = steps get skipped. Every time. The overhead of TodoWrite is tiny compared to the cost of missing steps.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Announcing Skill Usage
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Before using a skill, announce that you are using it.
|
|
|
+"I'm using [Skill Name] to [what you're doing]."
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Examples:**
|
|
|
+- "I'm using the brainstorming skill to refine your idea into a design."
|
|
|
+- "I'm using the test-driven-development skill to implement this feature."
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Why:** Transparency helps your human partner understand your process and catch errors early. It also confirms you actually read the skill.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# About these skills
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Many skills contain rigid rules (TDD, debugging, verification).** Follow them exactly. Don't adapt away the discipline.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Some skills are flexible patterns (architecture, naming).** Adapt core principles to your context.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The skill itself tells you which type it is.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Instructions ≠ Permission to Skip Workflows
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Your human partner's specific instructions describe WHAT to do, not HOW.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+"Add X", "Fix Y" = the goal, NOT permission to skip brainstorming, TDD, or RED-GREEN-REFACTOR.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Red flags:** "Instruction was specific" • "Seems simple" • "Workflow is overkill"
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Why:** Specific instructions mean clear requirements, which is when workflows matter MOST. Skipping process on "simple" tasks is how simple tasks become complex problems.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Summary
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Starting any task:**
|
|
|
+1. If relevant skill exists → Use the skill
|
|
|
+3. Announce you're using it
|
|
|
+4. Follow what it says
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Skill has checklist?** TodoWrite for every item.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Finding a relevant skill = mandatory to read and use it. Not optional.**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Tool Mapping for OpenCode:**
|
|
|
+When skills reference tools you don't have, substitute OpenCode equivalents:
|
|
|
+- `TodoWrite` → `update_plan` (your planning/task tracking tool)
|
|
|
+- `Task` tool with subagents → Use OpenCode's subagent system (@mention syntax or automatic dispatch)
|
|
|
+- `Skill` tool → `use_skill` custom tool (already available)
|
|
|
+- `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `Bash` → Use your native tools
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Skill directories contain supporting files:**
|
|
|
+- Scripts you can run with bash tool
|
|
|
+- Additional documentation you can read
|
|
|
+- Utilities and helpers specific to that skill
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Skills naming:**
|
|
|
+- Superpowers skills: `superpowers:skill-name` (from ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/skills/)
|
|
|
+- Personal skills: `skill-name` (from ~/.config/opencode/skills/)
|
|
|
+- Personal skills override superpowers skills when names match
