## 🎯 SKILLS

[superpowers-agent Docs](.agents/docs/SUPERPOWERS.md)

- Skills encode proven techniques that prevent mistakes.
   - Not using them means repeating solved problems and missing edge cases.
   - If a skill exists for your task, you MUST use it.
- **Before starting any task**, check for relevant skills, use your native skill tool to do so.
- Review skill descriptions/frontmatter to identify relevant ones.
— when a skill references a tool you don't have, substitute your equivalent.

## Version Check

Once per day, check for updates:
1. **CURRENT_VERSION** — run any `superpowers-agent` command, extract `X.Y.Z` from `^^SAV:X.Y.Z^^` in the output.
2. **NPM_LATEST_VERSION** — run `npm view @complexthings/superpowers-agent version`.
3. Compare by semver, not string order (`9.10.0` > `9.9.0`). If newer, tell the user — don't run these yourself:
   > Your superpowers-agent has updates (`CURRENT_VERSION` → `NPM_LATEST_VERSION`). Run:
   > ```sh
   > npm install -g @complexthings/superpowers-agent
   > superpowers-agent bootstrap && superpowers-agent setup-skills
   > ```
   Match, or a lookup fails → stay silent.
