npx claudepluginhub a-ariff/ariff-claude-plugins --plugin using-superpowersThis skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
Designs and optimizes AI agent action spaces, tool definitions, observation formats, error recovery, and context for higher task completion rates.
Enables AI agents to execute x402 payments with per-task budgets, spending controls, and non-custodial wallets via MCP tools. Use when agents pay for APIs, services, or other agents.
Compares coding agents like Claude Code and Aider on custom YAML-defined codebase tasks using git worktrees, measuring pass rate, cost, time, and consistency.
"If a skill exists for your task, you MUST use it. No exceptions. No rationalizations."
Skills encode proven solutions. Ignoring them means repeating solved problems.
Before ANY action, complete this mental checklist:
□ What skills might apply here?
□ Have I checked the skill registry?
□ Did I read the CURRENT version (not memory)?
□ Am I following it exactly?
If a relevant skill exists → USE IT.
"I'm using [Skill Name] to [what you're doing]."
If a skill has a checklist → Create todos for EACH item. Don't work through checklists mentally. Track them.
User says "Fix X" → That's the WHAT, not the HOW. Still follow brainstorming, TDD, verification workflows.
| Category | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Checkers | Before assumptions, before actions |
| Collaboration | Planning, brainstorming, executing plans |
| Debugging | When something's broken |
| Problem-Solving | When stuck |
| Testing | TDD, test design |
| Meta | Writing/improving skills |
Starting a feature → brainstorming → writing-plans → executing-plans
Something broken → systematic-debugging or root-cause-tracing
About to assume → assumption-checker
About to modify → pre-action-verifier
Claiming done → verification-before-completion
| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "I remember this skill" | Skills evolve. Read current version. |
| "This doesn't need a skill" | If skill exists, use it. |
| "Let me just do this first" | Check skills BEFORE anything. |
| "This is simple" | Simple tasks become complex. Use skills. |
Before taking action, the checker agents validate:
assumption-checker → Are you guessing?context-validator → Do you have enough context?intent-clarifier → Is the request clear?pre-action-verifier → Are prerequisites met?fact-checker → Are your claims about code accurate?These checkers are strict mode - they halt and ask rather than proceeding.
