MATHEMATICA
q=Differences[Select[Range[1000], PrimePowerQ[#]&], 2];
Select[Range[Length[q]], !MemberQ[Take[q, #-1], q[[#]]]&]
CROSSREFS
For first differences we have A376340.
These are the sorted positions of first appearances in A376596 except first term.
The inclusive version is a(n) + 1 = A376653(n), except first term.
For squarefree instead of prime-power we have A376655.
For prime-powers inclusive: A057820 (first differences), A376597 (inflections and undulations), A376598 (nonzero curvature).
