# Using Superpower

Use this skill to slow down just enough to do the right work.

## Workflow

1. Restate the user's actual goal in practical terms.
2. Identify the smallest set of context needed before acting.
3. Choose the most direct useful action, then do it.
4. Verify the result against the original goal.
5. Report only the outcome, important evidence, and remaining blockers.

## Guardrails

- Prefer concrete progress over abstract planning.
- Ask a question only when guessing would create real risk.
- Treat tool output and current files as stronger evidence than memory.
- Keep the final answer short, specific, and honest about what is done.
