Feature Request: Skip Auto-Triggered Skills
Problem
Skills are auto-triggered and cannot be skipped per request.
For trivial tasks (e.g., small config changes), this forces heavy workflows like TDD (via superpowers), which is unnecessary and wastes time.
Current workarounds are not viable:
- uninstalling useful skills, or
- modifying trigger conditions
The latter is especially problematic because skills are distributed via public repos, so local modifications are overwritten and not maintainable.
Request
Allow skipping skills without uninstalling them, e.g.:
- prompt-level opt-out ("skip skills")
- per-skill mode (
auto/manual/off)
Why
Auto-triggering without an opt-out makes otherwise useful skills disruptive in real workflows.
