Requirements Gate

For any skill that depends on external skill sets (e.g., Superpowers), enforce these rules:

Mandatory Prerequisite Section in SKILL.md

Include a Prerequisites section that states:

• required dependency repo
• required skill names
• what happens if requirements are missing
• exact remediation steps

Runtime/Flow Behavior

If requirements are missing:

1. Stop execution.
2. Return a concise blocking message.
3. Provide exact install/setup steps.
4. Ask for confirmation once requirements are installed.

Suggested Block Message

Cannot run <skill-name> yet.
Missing required Superpower skills: <list>
Install from: https://github.com/obra/superpowers
After installation, tell me "requirements ready" and I’ll continue.

Compatibility Requirement

Each skill must declare support for:

• Codex
• Claude Code
• OpenCode

If one platform is unsupported, state it explicitly.
