v3.2.2 (2025-10-21)

Improvements

Strengthened using-superpowers skill against agent rationalization

• Added EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT block with absolute language about mandatory skill checking
  • "If even 1% chance a skill applies, you MUST read it"
  • "You do not have a choice. You cannot rationalize your way out."
• Added MANDATORY FIRST RESPONSE PROTOCOL checklist
  • 5-step process agents must complete before any response
  • Explicit "responding without this = failure" consequence
• Added Common Rationalizations section with 8 specific evasion patterns
  • "This is just a simple question" → WRONG
  • "I can check files quickly" → WRONG
  • "Let me gather information first" → WRONG
  • Plus 5 more common patterns observed in agent behavior

These changes address observed agent behavior where they rationalize around skill usage despite clear instructions. The forceful language and pre-emptive counter-arguments aim to make non-compliance harder.

Files Changed

• Updated: skills/using-superpowers/SKILL.md - Added three layers of enforcement to prevent skill-skipping rationalization
