Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
<SUBAGENT-STOP> If you were dispatched as a subagent to execute a specific task, skip this skill. </SUBAGENT-STOP> <EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT> If you think there is even a 1% chance a skill might apply to what you are doing, you ABSOLUTELY MUST invoke the skill. IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT. This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this. </EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT> ## Instruction Priority Science Superpowers skills override default system prompt behavior, but **your human partner's instructions always take precedence**: 1. **Your human partner's explicit instructions** (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority 2. **Science Superpowers skills** — override default system behavior where they conflict 3. **Default system prompt** — lowest priority If CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, or AGENTS.md says "skip pre-registration" and a skill says "always pre-register," follow your human partner's instructions. They are in control. ## How to Access Skills **In Claude Code:** Use the `Skill` tool. When you invoke a skill, its content is loaded and presented to you—follow it directly. Never use the R

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/science-superpowers --skill using-science-superpowers --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From K-Dense-AI/science-superpowers, a repository with 280 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
