Start with intent and design.
Use when you have a feature idea but the requirements or architecture are not yet clear.
You do not need complicated prompt engineering. Choose a real development goal and give Claude enough context for the relevant Superpowers workflow to engage.
Help me plan this feature before we write code. Ask the questions you need, propose a design, and break the approved approach into implementation tasks before coding.
Use when you have a feature idea but the requirements or architecture are not yet clear.
Use when an issue has symptoms but the root cause is uncertain or previous fixes were guesses.
Use when a new behavior can be captured by an automated test before implementation.
Use when you want cleaner design without altering externally visible behavior.
Use after implementation to check correctness, tests, edge cases, and alignment with the plan.
Use when a task needs decomposition, checkpoints, focused execution, and review across several steps.
