process trained
the learned layer: read first.
mental model
Authorized goal -> live contract -> smallest coherent change -> fresh boundary proof -> integration under existing authority. A skill does not create a new permission gate. The shared checkout is the default.
examples

Read the selected guide and the project rules before modifying owned files.
best practices
- Inspect live state before questions; resolve routine choices from evidence.
- Use a plan for coupled work and proportionate tests for material behavior.
- Keep peer edits unstaged and verify the actual result before claiming done.
strengths
Design, planning, debugging, tests, and completion each have a short route, without inventing a new process for every task.
weaknesses / pain points
Imported process habits can be too heavy for a bounded edit. Choose the smallest step that proves the requested outcome.
gotchas
Upstream Superpowers procedures default to a worktree and per-change approval. Local rules take precedence here: shared checkout and persistent authorization.
sources and conflicts
The Superpowers brainstorming and worktree procedures are the upstream sources. Their default approval and isolation steps yield to the operator's shared-checkout and persistent-authorization instructions. That override is a local rule, not an upstream claim.
known bugs
No version-specific process defect has been verified in a project task.
troubleshooting
If repeated permission prompts interrupt an authorized task, check the current request against prior authority, then continue the routine work. If a plan prescribes an unavailable tool, inspect the runtime and use the closest existing procedure.
