Description

  • I searched existing issues and this has not been proposed before

What problem does this solve?

I would like to be able to permanently opt-out of the visual companion without having to respond to it each time (big speed bump in sessions)

Proposed solution

a user-level config file value or an environment var that can be set in .zshrc that the skill reads before suggesting companion mode

What alternatives did you consider?

separate skill for explicitly brainstorming without the visual companion; this is not as reliable since skills are sometimes auto triggered and they'd compete for trigger words

Is this appropriate for core Superpowers?

yes this is specifically for superpowers

Context

I'd like to reduce this slow turn
Generating html is also slower than generating text

Research direction

Start by locating the visual companion skill and the entry point where it decides whether to suggest companion mode. Trace how values from .zshrc or a user-level config could be read before that decision. Done means a user can persistently opt out across sessions without responding each time, with the behavior verified in the relevant project checks.
