## What's New
|
|
8
|
-
|
|
9
|
-
**v10.0.2 (July 12, 2026):**
|
|
10
|
-
|
|
11
|
-
- **Claude Code skill discovery fixed** — `bootstrap` now mirrors the repo's skills into `~/.claude/skills` (Claude ignores `~/.agents/skills`), gated on `~/.claude` existing, so Claude Code actually finds the bundled skills.
|
|
12
|
-
- **`update` is now print-only and package-manager–aware** — it no longer runs a global install for you. It detects how the CLI was installed (npm/pnpm/yarn/bun/deno) and prints the exact command plus `bootstrap && setup-skills`.
|
|
13
|
-
- **Retired-skill cleanup extended to `~/.claude/skills`** — the stale-skill cleaner prunes retired skills there too, proving ownership per-link so your own skills are untouched.
|
|
14
|
-
- **Node.js versions refreshed** — Node 20 (EOL) dropped, Node 26 added. Supported engines are now `^22 || ^24 || ^26`.
|
|
15
|
-
|
|
16
|
-
**v10.0.0 (July 12, 2026):**
|
|
17
|
-
|
|
18
|
-
- ⚠️ **Leaner bundled surface** — most bundled skills were retired. The package now ships only four: `brainstorming`, `leveraging-cli-tools`, `create-skill-json`, and `setup-skills`. Install anything else with `superpowers-agent add`.
|
|
19
|
-
- ⚠️ **Retired CLI commands removed** — the skill discovery/execution commands `dir`, `execute`, `find-skills`, `get-helpers`, `path`, and `use-skill` are gone. Skills are discovered and loaded through each harness's native skill tool, not the CLI.
|
|
20
|
-
- ⚠️ **`brainstorming` deprecated** — it now announces its deprecation and redirects to the `grilling` skill, handing over the same context.
|
|
21
|
-
- **Pi & OpenAI Codex supported** — `superpowers-agent` now detects and targets **Pi** (`.pi`) and **OpenAI Codex** (`.codex`) alongside GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and OpenCode — five supported harnesses. Detection works whether a harness is installed as a binary or a project folder.
|
|
22
|
-
- **RTK + ponytail integration** — `setup-rtk.sh` (harness-aware RTK config) and `setup-ponytail.sh` wire token-optimized CLI output and minimal-solution guidance into each harness. `leveraging-cli-tools` was rewritten around `rtk` and `ponytail`, with RTK Python guidance.
|
|
23
|
-
- **`SUPERPOWERS.md` linked** from generated `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, and `copilot-instructions.md`; `setup-skills` dedupes the backups it creates and replaces the `copilot-instructions.md` marker idempotently.
|
|
24
|
-
|
|
25
|
-
**v9.2.1 (June 1, 2026):**
|
|
26
|
-
|
|
27
|
-
- **GitHub agents now reach the Copilot CLI** — `add` and `pull` now also symlink GitHub agents (`.github/agents/<name>.agent.md`) into `~/.copilot/agents/`, alongside the existing VS Code `prompts/` install, so the same agents are usable by the GitHub Copilot CLI. `rm` cleans up both locations.
|
|
28
|
-
- **npm-based version monitoring** — the `using-superpowers` skill and `AGENTS.md` template now check for updates by querying the npm registry (`npm view @complexthings/superpowers-agent version`) and comparing by semver precedence, prompting you to update only when npm is actually newer (replaces the old bundled-version-string comparison).
|
|
29
|
-
- **Smarter skill-priority guidance** — `using-superpowers` now tells agents to load domain/context skills first, then process skills (brainstorming, planning, debugging, TDD), then implementation skills, so the domain skill can shape which process fits.
|
|
30
|
-
- **`leveraging-cli-tools` nudge broadened** — the session-start context now also points agents at the skill whenever a task involves using Bash.
|
|
31
|
-
- **Template cleanup** — removed `TOOLS.md.template` and the `{{TOOL_MAPPINGS}}` bootstrap placeholder; tool-equivalence guidance now lives inline in the refreshed `AGENTS.md`/`SUPERPOWERS.md` templates. `AGENTS.md` skill priority simplified to Project → Personal.
|
|
32
|
-
|
|
33
|
-
**v9.1.0 (May 30, 2026):**
|
|
34
|
-
|
|
35
|
-
- **Session-start hooks installed by `bootstrap`** — `bootstrap` now installs a Claude Code `SessionStart` hook into `~/.claude/settings.json` and a GitHub Copilot CLI `sessionStart` hook at `~/.copilot/hooks/superpowers.json`, so the Superpowers context is injected at the start of every session. The Claude merge is idempotent and preserves your other hooks/settings. (This replaces the old Claude Code plugin hook, which has been removed.)
|
|
36
|
-
- **`leveraging-cli-tools` in the injected prompt** — the session-start context now also tells agents to use the `leveraging-cli-tools` skill for code search, parsing, file finding, refactors, and verbose output to cut token cost and latency.
|
|
37
|
-
- **New `session-context` command** — `superpowers-agent session-context [--format=claude|copilot|raw]` is the single source of truth for the injected prompt, shared by the Claude hook, the Copilot hook, and the OpenCode plugin so they never drift.
|
|
38
|
-
|
|
39
|
-
**v9.0.0 (May 28, 2026):**
|
|
40
|
-
|
|
41
|
-
- **Claude persona installation** — `.claude/agents/<name>.md` personas now install into `~/.claude/agents/` via `add`/`pull` (previously silently skipped)
|
|
42
|
-
- ⚠️ **No more `postinstall`** — the npm `postinstall` script was removed for supply-chain hardening. Fresh installs now require a **one-time manual** `superpowers-agent bootstrap`; `superpowers-agent update` self-runs bootstrap thereafter
|
|
43
|
-
- ⚠️ **Removed Cursor, Codex & Gemini support** — supported platforms are now **GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and OpenCode** only. Integration modules, detection, the `install-cursor-hooks` command, and `GEMINI.md` generation were removed
|
|
44
|
-
- ⚠️ **Skills live only in `~/.agents/skills`** — per-platform skill symlinking has been removed. A one-time `skill.json`-gated cleaner runs during `bootstrap` to scrub deprecated symlink directories (including legacy Cursor/Codex/Gemini) without touching agent personas
|
|
45
|
-
- **Fixed `copilot-instructions.md`** — `setup-skills` now correctly creates and idempotently updates `.github/copilot-instructions.md`
|
|
46
|
-
- **`bun test` harness** — added a Bun test runner, smoke test, and `test` script following the `.agents/tests/<feature>.test.js` convention
|
|
47
|
-
|
|
48
|
-
**v8.4.0 (April 6, 2026):**
|
|
49
|
-
|
|
50
|
-
- **`superpowers-agent rm` command** — new CLI command for removing installed skills and agents from your system
|
|
51
|
-
|
|
52
|
-
**v8.2.0 (March 16, 2026):**
|
|
53
|
-
|
|
54
|
-
- **npm registry update checking** — `update` and `check-updates` now query the npm registry instead of the Git repo. Run `npm install -g @complexthings/superpowers-agent` to update.
|
|
55
|
-
- **Version parity hook** — A Husky pre-commit hook ensures `./package.json` and `.agents/package.json` stay in sync, auto-syncing to the highest version and rebuilding the CLI on mismatch.
|
|
56
|
-
|
|
57
|
-
**v8.0.0 (March 13, 2026):**
|
|
58
|
-
|
|
59
|
-
- **Skills-only delivery** — All per-platform prompt/command files (`.opencode/command/`, `.cursor/commands/`, `.gemini/commands/`, `.github/prompts/`, `.codex/prompts/`, `commands/`) have been removed.
|
|
60
|
-
- **Bootstrap cleanup** — Bootstrap now runs a `removeLegacyPrompts` step that deletes any prompt/command files previously installed by older versions.
|
|
61
|
-
- **`setup-skills` is now a skill** — Project initialization is delivered as `skills/setup-skills/SKILL.md`. The `superpowers-agent setup-skills` CLI command remains.
|
|
62
|
-
- **Cursor integration is symlink-only** — Cursor hooks (`hooks/cursor/`) have been removed. Cursor now discovers skills through its native skill tool via symlinks.
|
|
63
|
-
- **Removed skills**: `writing-skills`, `testing-skills-with-subagents`, `gardening-skills-wiki` deleted from `skills/meta/` mostly in favor of Claude's Skills 2.0 `skill-creator` skill.
|
|
64
|
-
- **Removed CLI commands**: `install-copilot-prompts`, `install-cursor-commands`, `install-codex-prompts`, `install-gemini-commands`, `install-claude-commands`, `install-opencode-commands`.
|
|
65
|
-
|
|
66
|
-
**v7.0.5 (February 9, 2026):**
|
|
67
|
-
|
|
68
|
-
- **Agent Auto-Installation** - `add` and `pull` commands now automatically detect and install agents from repositories with an `agents.json` manifest, supporting GitHub Copilot and OpenCode platforms with extensible platform support
|
|
69
|
-
- **Agent Tracking** - Installed agents are tracked in `~/.agents/config.json` with source repository, version, and install timestamps
|
|
70
|
-
- **Persistent Repo Storage** - Git-sourced agent repositories are persisted at `~/.agents/repos/` to maintain valid symlinks
|
|
71
|
-
|
|
72
|
-
**v7.0.0 (February 7, 2026):**
|
|
73
|
-
|
|
74
|
-
- 🔧 **Bun Build System** - Migrated CLI build toolchain from Node.js/npm to Bun for faster builds and simpler dependency management
|
|
75
|
-
- 📋 **Smart Copilot Instructions** - `bootstrap` and `update` now process `~/.github/copilot-instructions.md` as a template, injecting the `using-superpowers` skill content and supporting marker-based idempotent updates with automatic backups
|
|
76
|
-
- 📊 **Mermaid Flowcharts** - Replaced DOT-format flowcharts with Mermaid syntax across 8 skills for better rendering in GitHub, VS Code, and agent contexts

# Installation
|
|
99
|
-
|
|
100
|
-
## Quick Install (Recommended)
|
|
101
|
-
|
|
102
|
-
Install Superpowers globally and run the required one-time bootstrap step:
|
|
103
|
-
|
|
104
|
-
```bash
|
|
105
|
-
npm install -g @complexthings/superpowers-agent
|
|
106
|
-
superpowers-agent bootstrap
|
|
107
|
-
```
|
|
108
|
-
|
|
109
|
-
> **Note:** `superpowers-agent bootstrap` is a **required** one-time step after every fresh install. It is no longer run automatically by npm's `postinstall` hook — you must run it manually. Subsequent `superpowers-agent update` calls will run bootstrap for you automatically.
|
|
110
|
-
|
|
111
|
-
## Migration to Superpower Agent `^10.0.0`
|
|
112
|
-
|
|
113
|
-
```bash
|
|
114
|
-
rm -rf ~/.local/bin/superpowers-agent ~/.local/bin/superpowers ~/.agents/superpowers
|
|
115
|
-
npm install -g @complexthings/superpowers-agent
|
|
116
|
-
superpowers-agent bootstrap
|
|
117
|
-
```
|
|
118
|
-
|
|
119
|
-
**After installation, your AI platform can discover Superpowers skills automatically.**
|
|
120
|
-
|
|
121
|
-
If your platform has no native skill tool, open the relevant `SKILL.md` from its configured skill directories with your file-read tool.
|
|
122
|
-
|
|
123
|
-
## Manual Installation
|
|
124
|
-
|
|
125
|
-
If you prefer manual installation or need project-specific setup, see [.agents/INSTALL.md](.agents/INSTALL.md).

## Quick Start
|
|
130
|
-
|
|
131
|
-
### Discovering and Using Skills
|
|
132
|
-
|
|
133
|
-
Use your AI platform's native skill tool to view available skills and load the one relevant to your task. If no native skill tool is available, inspect the configured project or personal skill directories and open the relevant `SKILL.md` with your file-read tool.
|
|
134
|
-
|
|
135
|
-
**Priority order:** Project skills → Home skills → Global Superpowers skills
|
|
136
|
-
|
|
137
|
-
### Bundled Skills
|
|
138
|
-
|
|
139
|
-
This release bundles four skills:
|
|
140
|
-
- `brainstorming` — **deprecated**; redirects to the `grilling` skill
|
|
141
|
-
- `leveraging-cli-tools`
|
|
142
|
-
- `create-skill-json`
|
|
143
|
-
- `setup-skills`
|
|
144
|
-
|
|
145
|
-
## Configuration
|
|
146
|
-
|
|
147
|
-
Superpowers supports project-level and global configuration via `.agents/config.json`.

**Use repository aliases to install skills:**

|
```bash
|
|
201
|
-
|
|
202
|
-
|
|
203
|
-
|
|
204
|
-
# Install specific skill path
|
|
205
|
-
superpowers-agent add @myskills path/to/skill
|
|
206
|
-
|
|
207
|
-
# Install to project
|
|
208
|
-
superpowers-agent add @myskills path/to/skill --project
|
|
209
|
-
```
|
|
210
|
-
|
|
211
|
-
**Configuration format:**
|
|
212
|
-
```json
|
|
213
|
-
// ~/.agents/config.json or .agents/config.json
|
|
214
|
-
{
|
|
215
|

|
-
"@internal": "https://github.com/myorg/internal-skills.git"
|
|
219
|
-
}
|
|
220

}
|
|
221
|
-
```
|
|
222
|
-
|
|
223
|
-
Repository aliases make it easy to:
|
|
224
|
-
- Install skills from multiple sources
|
|
225
|
-
- Share skill repositories across teams
|
|
226
|
-
- Quickly access frequently used skill collections
|
|
227
|
-
- Support both Git URLs and local paths

### Agent Auto-Installation
|
|
230
|
-
|
|
231
|
-
Repositories can include an `agents.json` manifest to automatically install AI agents alongside skills. When you run `superpowers-agent add` or `superpowers-agent pull` on a repository containing `agents.json`, agents are automatically symlinked to the appropriate platform directories.
|
|
232
|
-
|
|
233
|
-
**`agents.json` format:**
|
|
234
|
-
```json
|
|
235
|
-
{
|
|
236
|
-
"version": "1.0.0",
|
|
237
|
-
"repository": "@my-agents",
|
|
238
|
-
"agents": {
|
|
239
|
-
"github": ["agent-name-1", "agent-name-2"],
|
|
240
|
-
"opencode": ["agent-name-1", "agent-name-2"]
|
|
241
|
-
}
|
|
242
|
-
}
|
|
243
|
-
```
|
|
244
|
-
|
|
245
|
-
**Supported platforms and paths:**
|
|
246
|
-
|
|
247
|
-
| Platform | Source Directory | Destination |
|
|
248
|
-
|----------|----------------|-------------|
|
|
249
|
-
| `github` | `.github/agents/<name>.agent.md` | VS Code `prompts/` directory **and** `~/.copilot/agents/` (GitHub Copilot CLI) |
|
|
250
|
-
| `opencode` | `.opencode/agents/<name>.md` | `~/.config/opencode/agents/` |
|
|
251
|
-
| `claude` | `.claude/agents/<name>.md` | `~/.claude/agents/` |
|
|
252
|
-
|
|
253
|
-
**How it works:**
|
|
254
|
-
1. After skills are installed, the system checks for `agents.json` at the repository root
|
|
255
|
-
2. For each platform listed, agents are symlinked from the repository to the platform destination
|
|
256
|
-
3. For git-sourced repositories, a persistent copy is stored at `~/.agents/repos/` so symlinks remain valid
|
|
257
|
-
4. Installed agents are tracked in `~/.agents/config.json` under `installedAgents`
|
|
258
|
-
|
|
259
|
-
**Examples:**
|
|
260
|
-
```bash
|
|
261
|
-
# Install skills and agents from a repository
|
|
262
|
-
superpowers-agent add https://github.com/example/agents-repo.git
|
|
263
|
-
|
|
264
|
-
# Update agents from a repository alias
|
|
265
|
-
superpowers-agent pull @my-agents
|
|
22
|
+
superpowers-agent bootstrap
|
|
23
|
+
# or
|
|
24
|
+
superpowers-agent update
|
|
266
25
|
```
|
|
267
26
|
|
|
268
|
-
|
|
269
|
-
|
|
270
|
-
Skills live in a small set of canonical locations and the supported agents discover them there directly:
|
|
271
|
-
|
|
272
|
-
- **Global skills** — bundled Superpowers skills in `~/.agents/superpowers/skills/` and personal skills in `~/.agents/skills/`
|
|
273
|
-
- **Project skills** — `.agents/skills/` inside a project (created/managed by `setup-skills`)
|
|
274
|
-
- **Claude Code mirror** — because Claude Code ignores `~/.agents/skills`, `bootstrap` also mirrors the repo's skills into `~/.claude/skills` (only when `~/.claude` exists) so Claude can find them.
|
|
275
|
-
|
|
276
|
-
**Stale symlink cleanup:**
|
|
277
|
-
|
|
278
|
-
A one-time, `skill.json`-gated cleaner runs during `superpowers-agent bootstrap`. It scrubs deprecated per-platform skill symlink directories left behind by older versions — including legacy Cursor, Codex, and Gemini directories — and reconciles `~/.claude/skills` so retired skills are pruned there too. Ownership is proved per-link from the raw target, so agent personas in `~/.claude/agents/` and your own skills are never touched.
|
|
279
|
-
|
|
280
|
-
## Skill Priority
|
|
281
|
-
|
|
282
|
-
Each supported agent discovers and loads skills using its native skill tool. No separate prompt/command files are installed.
|
|
283
|
-
|
|
284
|
-
**Skill priority pipeline (first match wins):**
|
|
285
|
-
1. `.agents/skills/` inside the workspace (project-specific overrides)
|
|
286
|
-
2. `.claude/skills/` inside the repo if present (repo-wide Claude overrides)
|
|
287
|
-
3. Personal skills in `~/.agents/skills/` (user-level customizations)
|
|
288
|
-
4. Bundled Superpowers skills in `~/.agents/superpowers/skills/` (system defaults)
|
|
289
|
-
|
|
290
|
-
When any agent invokes a skill — no matter which supported tool it originates from — the CLI enforces the ordering above. Add a `brainstorming` skill under `.agents/skills/` and every supported tool immediately picks it up.
|
|
291
|

|
|

|
-
### OpenCode
|
|
27
|
+
The pass removes:
|
|
293
28
|
|
|
294
|
-
|
|
29
|
+
1. The Superpowers `SessionStart` hook entry in `~/.claude/settings.json` (every other hook is preserved).
|
|
30
|
+
2. The Copilot session hook at `~/.copilot/hooks/superpowers.json`.
|
|
31
|
+
3. The OpenCode plugin at `~/.config/opencode/plugins/superpowers-agent.js`.
|
|
32
|
+
4. Every package-owned skill symlink under `~/.agents/skills`, `~/.claude/skills`, `~/.copilot/skills`,
|
|
33
|
+
`~/.config/opencode/skill`, and the project-local `.claude/skills`, `.copilot/skills`, `.opencode/skill`.
|
|
34
|
+
5. The `~/.local/bin/superpowers` and `~/.local/bin/superpowers-agent` shims, and the managed region of
|
|
35
|
+
`~/.agents/AGENTS.md`, which is rewritten to a short retirement note.
|
|
295
36
|
|
|
296
|
-
|
|
37
|
+
Symlinks are deleted outright. Real files are moved to the backup directory first. A failure on one
|
|
38
|
+
artifact is reported and skipped — the pass never aborts halfway.
|
|
297
39
|
|
|

### Retirement Backup Directory

### Claude Code
|
|
301
|
-
|
|
302
|
-
Skills are available via the native skill tool. Claude agent personas defined in `.claude/agents/<name>.md` are installed into `~/.claude/agents/` via `add`/`pull`. `bootstrap` also installs a `SessionStart` hook into `~/.claude/settings.json` that injects the Superpowers context every session (idempotent; preserves your other hooks and settings).
|
|
303
|
-
|
|
304
|
-
## Bundled Skills
|
|
305
|
-
|
|
306
|
-
The package contains only the four skills listed in [Quick Start](#quick-start). Install additional skills with `superpowers-agent add`.
|
|
307
|
-
|
|
308
|
-
### Running Tests
|
|
309
|
-
|
|
310
|
-
Run the automated suite from `.agents`:
|
|
311
|
-
|
|
312
|
-
```bash
|
|
313
|
-
cd .agents
|
|
314
|
-
bun test
|
|
315
42
|
```
|
|
316
|
-
|
|
317
|
-
### CLI Commands
|
|
318
|
-
|
|
319
|
-
The `superpowers-agent` CLI provides commands for managing installed skills. Skill discovery and loading use your AI platform's native skill tool.
|
|
320
|
-
|
|
321
|
-
**Skill Installation:**
|
|
322
|
-
```bash
|
|
323
|
-
superpowers-agent add <url-or-path> # Install skill(s) from Git or local
|
|
324
|
-
superpowers-agent add @alias path/to/skill # Install from repository alias
|
|
325
|
-
superpowers-agent rm <skill-name> # Remove an installed skill or agent
|
|
43
|
+
~/.agents/retirement-backup-<YYYY-MM-DD>/
|
|
326
44
|
```
|
|
327
45
|
|
|
328
|
-
|
|
329
|
-
|
|
330
|
-
superpowers-agent list-repositories # List all configured repository aliases
|
|
331
|
-
superpowers-agent add-repository <git-url> # Add repository alias
|
|
332
|
-
```
|
|
46
|
+
`<YYYY-MM-DD>` is the date the cleanup ran. `~/.claude/settings.json` is the one exception: it is
|
|
47
|
+
edited in place, and its copy is written beside it as `~/.claude/settings.json.backup-<YYYY-MM-DD>`.
|
|
333
48
|
|
|
334
|
-
|
|
335
|
-
```bash
|
|
336
|
-
superpowers-agent config-get # Show current configuration
|
|
337
|
-
superpowers-agent config-set <key> <value> # Update configuration
|
|
338
|
-
```
|
|
49
|
+
## How to restore from the backup
|
|
339
50
|
|
|
340
|
-
|
|
341
|
-
|
|
342
|
-
superpowers-agent setup-skills # Initialize project with skills docs
|
|
343
|
-
superpowers-agent bootstrap # Run complete bootstrap (installs Claude + Copilot session hooks)
|
|
344
|
-
superpowers-agent update # Update to latest version
|
|
345
|
-
```
|
|
51
|
+
The cleanup summary prints an exact `cp` line for every file it backed up. Run those lines to undo it.
|
|
52
|
+
The general form:
|
|
346
53
|
|
|
347
|
-
**Session Hooks:**
|
|
348
54
|
```bash
|
|
349
|
-
|
|
350
|
-
|
|
351
|
-
superpowers-agent session-context --format=copilot # Emit GitHub Copilot sessionStart hook JSON
|
|
55
|
+
cp ~/.agents/retirement-backup-2026-09-05/<filename> <original path>
|
|
56
|
+
cp ~/.claude/settings.json.backup-2026-09-05 ~/.claude/settings.json
|
|
352
57
|
```
|
|
353
|
-
The platform hooks installed by `bootstrap` call this command; it is the single source of truth for the injected CLI-tool nudge.
|
|
354
58
|
|
|
355
|
-
|
|
59
|
+
Skill symlinks are not backed up — they are recreated by whatever tool you use next, or by hand.
|
|
356
60
|
|
|
357
|
-
|
|
61
|
+
## Removing everything by hand
|
|
358
62
|
|
|
359
|
-
|
|
63
|
+
Use this if the automated pass fails or you never want to run the CLI again.
|
|
360
64
|
|
|
361
|
-
For a single skill, `skill.json` defines its identity:
|
|
362
|
-
|
|
363
|
-
```json
|
|
364
|
-
{
|
|
365
|
-
"version": "1.0.0",
|
|
366
|
-
"name": "aem/block-collection-and-party",
|
|
367
|
-
"title": "AEM Block Collection and Party"
|
|
368
|
-
}
|
|
369
|
-
```
|
|
370
|
-
|
|
371
|
-
**Fields:**
|
|
372
|
-
- `name`: Canonical skill name (used for installation path)
|
|
373
|
-
- `title`: Human-readable display name
|
|
374
|
-
- `version`: Skill version for tracking updates
|
|
375
|
-
|
|
376
|
-
#### Multi-Skill Repository Configuration
|
|
377
|
-
|
|
378
|
-
For repositories containing multiple skills, the root `skill.json` lists all skills and defines a repository alias:
|
|
379
|
-
|
|
380
|
-
```json
|
|
381
|
-
{
|
|
382
|
-
"version": "1.0.0",
|
|
383
|
-
"repository": "@baici",
|
|
384
|
-
"skills": [
|
|
385
|
-
"aem/authoring-analysis",
|
|
386
|
-
"aem/block-collection-and-party",
|
|
387
|
-
"aem/block-inventory",
|
|
388
|
-
"aem/building-blocks",
|
|
389
|
-
"aem/content-driven-development"
|
|
390
|
-
]
|
|
391
|
-
}
|
|
392
|
-
```
|
|
393
|
-
|
|
394
|
-
**Fields:**
|
|
395
|
-
- `repository`: Default alias for this repository (used with `add-repository`)
|
|
396
|
-
- `skills`: Array of skill paths within the repository
|
|
397
|
-
- `version`: Repository version
|
|
398
|
-
|
|
399
|
-
**Each skill then has its own skill.json:**
|
|
400
|
-
```
|
|
401
|
-
repository/
|
|
402
|
-
├── skill.json # Repository manifest

3. **Priority Resolution** - Project skills override personal skills override system skills
|
|
438
|
-
4. **Universal Integration** - Works with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, and OpenAI Codex
|
|
439
|
-
|
|
440
|
-
**For OpenCode:**
|
|
441
|
-
1. **Plugin System** - The `.opencode/plugins/superpowers-agent.js` plugin injects bootstrap context dynamically at session start
|
|
442
|
-
2. **System Transform Hook** - Uses `experimental.chat.system.transform` for reliable session injection
|
|
443
|
-
3. **Native Skills** - Skills are accessible via OpenCode's native `skill` tool through symlinks
|
|
444
|
-
|
|
445
|
-
**For Claude Code:**
|
|
446
|
-
1. **Skills System** - Uses Claude Code's first-party skills system
|
|
447
|
-
2. **Automatic Discovery** - Claude finds and uses relevant skills for your task
|
|
448
|
-
3. **Mandatory Workflows** - When a skill exists for your task, using it becomes required
|
|
449

## Philosophy
|
|
451
|
-
|
|
452
|
-
- **Test-Driven Development** - Write tests first, always
|
|
453
|
-
- **Systematic over ad-hoc** - Process over guessing
|
|
454
|
-
- **Complexity reduction** - Simplicity as primary goal
|
|
455
|
-
- **Evidence over claims** - Verify before declaring success
|
|
456
|
-
- **Domain over implementation** - Work at problem level, not solution level

### Automatic Updates (Default)
|
|
470
|
-
|
|
471
|
-
Superpowers automatically checks for and applies updates during bootstrap by default:
|
|
472
|
-
|
|
473
|
-
```bash
|
|
474
|
-
superpowers-agent bootstrap
|
|
88
|
+
# 6. Managed instructions in ~/.agents/AGENTS.md — delete the block between
|
|
89
|
+
# <!-- SUPERPOWERS_SKILLS_START --> and <!-- SUPERPOWERS_SKILLS_END -->
|
|
90
|
+
$EDITOR ~/.agents/AGENTS.md
|
|
475
91
|
```
|
|
476
92
|
|
|
477
|
-
|
|
478
|
-
- ✓ Fetches latest changes from GitHub main branch
|
|
479
|
-
- ✓ Only updates if repository is clean (no local modifications)
|
|
480
|
-
- ✓ Intelligently reinstalls only changed integrations (opencode plugin, etc.)
|
|
481
|
-
- ✓ Skips update if not on main branch or network unavailable
|
|
93
|

### The Copilot instructions block cleanup does not touch

|
488
|
-
**Re-install only specific agent integrations:**
|
|
489
|
-
|
|
490
|
-
Use `--force-<agent>` flags to target individual agents without running the full bootstrap. Useful when you've updated a single agent's tools or want to repair a specific integration.
|
|
491
|
-
|
|
492
|
-
```bash
|
|
493
|
-
# Re-install only GitHub Copilot integration
|
|
494
|
-
superpowers-agent bootstrap --force-copilot
|
|
95
|
+
Cleanup deliberately leaves your project's `.github/copilot-instructions.md` alone, because that file
|
|
96
|
+
is checked into your repository and is yours to edit. Remove the block yourself, including both
|
|
97
|
+
markers:
|

# Re-install Copilot and Claude together
|
|
497
|
-
superpowers-agent bootstrap --force-copilot --force-claude
|
|
498
99
|
```
|

|
|
502
|
-
> When `--force-<agent>` flags are used, universal alias installation and `AGENTS.md` platform generation are skipped. Skill symlink sync still runs. If the agent's directory does not exist (e.g. `~/.copilot`), it will be created automatically.

### Manual Updates
|
|
505
|
-
|
|
506
|
-
Check for updates anytime with the dedicated update command:
|
|
507
|
-
|
|
508
|
-
```bash
|
|
509
|
-
superpowers-agent update
|
|
100
|
+
<!-- SUPERPOWERS_-_INSTRUCTIONS_START -->
|
|
101
|
+
...
|
|
102
|
+
<!-- SUPERPOWERS_-_INSTRUCTIONS_END -->
|
|
510
103
|
```
|
|
511
104
|
|
|
512
|
-
|
|
513
|
-
- Checks the npm registry for a newer version
|
|
514
|
-
- Detects how the CLI was installed (npm/pnpm/yarn/bun/deno) from its install path
|
|
515
|
-
- Prints the exact install command for your package manager, followed by `superpowers-agent bootstrap && superpowers-agent setup-skills`
|
|
105
|
+
## Uninstalling the package
|
|
516
106
|
|
|
517
|
-
|
|
107
|
+
Run the cleanup first, then remove the global package with the manager you installed it with:
|
|
518
108
|
|
|
519
109
|
```bash
|
|
520
|
-
npm
|
|
521
|
-
|
|
110
|
+
npm uninstall -g @complexthings/superpowers-agent
|
|
111
|
+
pnpm remove -g @complexthings/superpowers-agent
|
|
112
|
+
yarn global remove @complexthings/superpowers-agent
|
|
113
|
+
bun remove -g @complexthings/superpowers-agent
|
|
114
|
+
deno uninstall -g superpowers-agent
|
|
522
115
|
```
|
|
523
116
|
|
|
524
|
-
|
|
525
|
-
|
|
526
|
-
**Disable auto-update permanently:**
|
|
527
|
-
```bash
|
|
528
|
-
superpowers-agent config-set auto_update false
|
|
529
|
-
```
|
|
117
|
+
## Release notes — v11.0.0 (final)
|
|
530
118
|
|
|
531
|
-
|
|
119
|
+
Final release. The CLI installs nothing; `bootstrap` and `update` both run Retirement Cleanup.
|
|
120
|
+
The bundled skills, the session-context hooks and the repo-managed skill symlinks are removed.
|
|
121
|
+
Requires Node `^22 || ^24 || ^26`.
|
|

npm deprecate @complexthings/superpowers-agent "Retired — use npx skills instead: https://skills.sh"
|
|
541
127
|
```
|
|
542
128
|
|
|
