Summary

This PR is a standing note for the fork's alternative-ideology branch. It is not meant to be merged upstream.

The point of this branch is not a separate directory by itself. The point is a different interpretation of how the skill set should guide an agent.

The Alternative Ideology

This branch keeps the upstream skill set's structure and usefulness, but changes the behavioral defaults in a few important ways:

  • Planning artifacts should point to plans/... rather than upstream docs/superpowers/... paths where that better fits this repo's workflow.
  • Git actions are not treated as agent defaults. Commits, branch operations, pushes, PR creation, merges, and related integration steps should happen only on explicit user request.
  • TDD is encouraged for complex or high-risk work, but it is not treated as a universal rule for every small or mid-level task.
  • Existing local drift is not automatically sacred. Modified skills should be derived deliberately from upstream skills plus these policy choices.
  • Upstream skills/ remains the raw source of truth, while the alternative branch carries a consciously rewritten variant of that guidance.

Why skills.modified/ Exists

skills.modified/ is just the implementation mechanism for that ideology.

It keeps the alternative guidance separate from upstream skills/, which makes the branch easier to maintain, easier to reason about, and usually easier to rebase onto updated main without fighting over the raw upstream files.

Branch Model

The fork keeps this work on the long-lived alternative-ideology branch. This PR exists as a durable explanation of that branch and the reasoning behind it.
