First bootstrap exact snapshots: agb start https://agent-buildprint.com/buildprints/superpowers-skill-methodology-harness/package.json . If agb is not installed, clone https://github.com/DomEscobar/agent-buildprint and run node agent-buildprint/bin/agb.js start https://agent-buildprint.com/buildprints/superpowers-skill-methodology-harness/package.json . Then read .buildprint/next-agent.md and continue. Do not write Buildprint snapshots manually. Build the skill-methodology harness from the packet; do not substitute a generic dashboard."
