Unlike typical AI agents that rely on the model inferring skill needs from brief descriptions, Superpowers utilizes a `SessionStart` hook. This hook forcibly injects the full 'using-superpowers' skill into the model's context at the beginning of a session, ensuring it's aware of its capabilities from the outset. This mechanism significantly boosts skill activation rates, reportedly from around 10% to 66%. AI
