diagnosing-superpowers

Use when a superpowers session went wrong and your human partner wants to know why — repeated work, ignored plans, stumbles, poor results, a skill that didn't fire, "it took too long", "why is it so expensive", "what is it doing" — or wants to build a bug report for the superpowers maintainers, for the current session or a past one identified by id or path, on any harness.

remembering-conversations

You MUST invoke this skill before saying "I don't know," guessing, or treating any topic as new, no matter how trivial the question seems. It supplements other memory systems, which only hold partial records. Searching past conversations is the only way to recover what was actually said.
