- # Superpowers
2
-
3
- Superpowers is a complete software development workflow for your coding agents, built on top of a set of composable "skills" and some initial instructions that make sure your agent uses them.
4
-
5
- ## How it works
6
-
7
- It starts from the moment you fire up your coding agent. As soon as it sees that you're building something, it *doesn't* just jump into trying to write code. Instead, it steps back and asks you what you're really trying to do.
8
-
9
- Once it's teased a spec out of the conversation, it shows it to you in chunks short enough to actually read and digest.
10
-
11
- After you've signed off on the design, your agent puts together an implementation plan that's clear enough for an enthusiastic junior engineer with poor taste, no judgement, no project context, and an aversion to testing to follow. It emphasizes true red/green TDD, YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), and DRY.
12
-
13
- Next up, once you say "go", it launches a *subagent-driven-development* process, having agents work through each engineering task, inspecting and reviewing their work, and continuing forward. It's not uncommon for Claude to be able to work autonomously for a couple hours at a time without deviating from the plan you put together.
14
-
15
- There's a bunch more to it, but that's the core of the system. And because the skills trigger automatically, you don't need to do anything special. Your coding agent just has Superpowers.
16
-
17
-
18
- ## Sponsorship
19
-
20
- If Superpowers has helped you do stuff that makes money and you are so inclined, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd consider [sponsoring my opensource work](https://github.com/sponsors/obra).
21
-
22
- Thanks!

-
27
- ## Installation
28
-
29
- **Note:** Installation differs by platform. Claude Code has a built-in plugin system. Codex and OpenCode require manual setup.
30
-
31
- ### Claude Code (via Plugin Marketplace)
32
-
33
- In Claude Code, register the marketplace first:
34
-
35
- ```bash
36
- /plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
37
- ```
38
-
39
- Then install the plugin from this marketplace:
40
-
41
- ```bash
42
- /plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
43
- ```
44
-
45
- ### Verify Installation
46
-
47
- Check that commands appear:
48
-
49
- ```bash
50
- /help
51
- ```
52
-
53
- ```
54
- # Should see:
55
- # /superpowers:brainstorm - Interactive design refinement
56
- # /superpowers:write-plan - Create implementation plan
57
- # /superpowers:execute-plan - Execute plan in batches
58
- ```
59
-
60
- ### Codex
61
-
62
- Tell Codex:
63
-
64
- ```
65
- Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/refs/heads/main/.codex/INSTALL.md
66
- ```
67
-
68
- **Detailed docs:** [docs/README.codex.md](docs/README.codex.md)
69
-
70
- ### OpenCode
71
-
72
- Tell OpenCode:
73
-
74
- ```
75
- Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/refs/heads/main/.opencode/INSTALL.md
76
- ```
77
-
78
- **Detailed docs:** [docs/README.opencode.md](docs/README.opencode.md)
79
-
80
- ## The Basic Workflow
81
-
82
- 1. **brainstorming** - Activates before writing code. Refines rough ideas through questions, explores alternatives, presents design in sections for validation. Saves design document.
83
-
84
- 2. **using-git-worktrees** - Activates after design approval. Creates isolated workspace on new branch, runs project setup, verifies clean test baseline.
85
-
86
- 3. **writing-plans** - Activates with approved design. Breaks work into bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each). Every task has exact file paths, complete code, verification steps.
87
-
88
- 4. **subagent-driven-development** or **executing-plans** - Activates with plan. Dispatches fresh subagent per task (same session, fast iteration) or executes in batches (parallel session, human checkpoints).
89
-
90
- 5. **test-driven-development** - Activates during implementation. Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR: write failing test, watch it fail, write minimal code, watch it pass, commit. Deletes code written before tests.
91
-
92
- 6. **requesting-code-review** - Activates between tasks. Reviews against plan, reports issues by severity. Critical issues block progress.
93
-
94
- 7. **finishing-a-development-branch** - Activates when tasks complete. Verifies tests, presents options (merge/PR/keep/discard), cleans up worktree.
95
-
96
- **The agent checks for relevant skills before any task.** Mandatory workflows, not suggestions.

12
-
13

33
- - Eliminates code duplication between Codex and OpenCode
34
- - Single source of truth for skill discovery and parsing
35

44
-
45
- ## v3.4.1 (2025-10-31)
46
-
47
- ### Improvements
48
-
49
- - Optimized superpowers bootstrap to eliminate redundant skill execution. The `using-superpowers` skill content is now provided directly in session context, with clear guidance to use the Skill tool only for other skills. This reduces overhead and prevents the confusing loop where agents would execute `using-superpowers` manually despite already having the content from session start.
50
-
51
- ## v3.4.0 (2025-10-30)
52
-
53
- ### Improvements
54
-
55
- - Simplified `brainstorming` skill to return to original conversational vision. Removed heavyweight 6-phase process with formal checklists in favor of natural dialogue: ask questions one at a time, then present design in 200-300 word sections with validation. Keeps documentation and implementation handoff features.
56
-
57
- ## v3.3.1 (2025-10-28)
58
-
59
- ### Improvements
60
-
61
- - Updated `brainstorming` skill to require autonomous recon before questioning, encourage recommendation-driven decisions, and prevent agents from delegating prioritization back to humans.
62
- - Applied writing clarity improvements to `brainstorming` skill following Strunk's "Elements of Style" principles (omitted needless words, converted negative to positive form, improved parallel construction).
63
-
64
- ### Bug Fixes
65
-
66
- - Clarified `writing-skills` guidance so it points to the correct agent-specific personal skill directories (`~/.claude/skills` for Claude Code, `~/.codex/skills` for Codex).
67
-
68
- ## v3.3.0 (2025-10-28)
69
-
70
- ### New Features
71
-
72
- **Experimental Codex Support**
73
- - Added unified `superpowers-codex` script with bootstrap/use-skill/find-skills commands
74
- - Cross-platform Node.js implementation (works on Windows, macOS, Linux)
75
- - Namespaced skills: `superpowers:skill-name` for superpowers skills, `skill-name` for personal
76
- - Personal skills override superpowers skills when names match
77
- - Clean skill display: shows name/description without raw frontmatter
78
- - Helpful context: shows supporting files directory for each skill
79
- - Tool mapping for Codex: TodoWrite→update_plan, subagents→manual fallback, etc.
80
- - Bootstrap integration with minimal AGENTS.md for automatic startup
81
- - Complete installation guide and bootstrap instructions specific to Codex
82
-
83
- **Key differences from Claude Code integration:**
84
- - Single unified script instead of separate tools
85
- - Tool substitution system for Codex-specific equivalents
86
- - Simplified subagent handling (manual work instead of delegation)
87
- - Updated terminology: "Superpowers skills" instead of "Core skills"
88
-
89
- ### Files Added
90
- - `codex/INSTALL.md` - Installation guide for Codex users
91
- - `codex/superpowers-bootstrap.md` - Bootstrap instructions with Codex adaptations
92
- - `scripts/superpowers-codex` - Unified Node.js executable with all functionality
93
-
94
- **Note:** Codex support is experimental. The integration provides core superpowers functionality but may require refinement based on user feedback.
95
-
96
- ## v3.2.3 (2025-10-23)
97
-
98
- ### Improvements
99
-
100
- **Updated using-superpowers skill to use Skill tool instead of Read tool**
101
- - Changed skill invocation instructions from Read tool to Skill tool
102
- - Updated description: "using Read tool" → "using Skill tool"
103
- - Updated step 3: "Use the Read tool" → "Use the Skill tool to read and run"
104
- - Updated rationalization list: "Read the current version" → "Run the current version"
105
-
106
- The Skill tool is the proper mechanism for invoking skills in Claude Code. This update corrects the bootstrap instructions to guide agents toward the correct tool.
107
-
108
- ### Files Changed
109
- - Updated: `skills/using-superpowers/SKILL.md` - Changed tool references from Read to Skill
110
-
111
- ## v3.2.2 (2025-10-21)
112
-
113
- ### Improvements
114
-
115
- **Strengthened using-superpowers skill against agent rationalization**
116
- - Added EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT block with absolute language about mandatory skill checking
117
- - "If even 1% chance a skill applies, you MUST read it"
118
- - "You do not have a choice. You cannot rationalize your way out."
119
- - Added MANDATORY FIRST RESPONSE PROTOCOL checklist
120
- - 5-step process agents must complete before any response
121
- - Explicit "responding without this = failure" consequence
122
- - Added Common Rationalizations section with 8 specific evasion patterns
123
- - "This is just a simple question" → WRONG
124
- - "I can check files quickly" → WRONG
125
- - "Let me gather information first" → WRONG
126
- - Plus 5 more common patterns observed in agent behavior
127
-
128
- These changes address observed agent behavior where they rationalize around skill usage despite clear instructions. The forceful language and pre-emptive counter-arguments aim to make non-compliance harder.
129
-
130
- ### Files Changed
131
- - Updated: `skills/using-superpowers/SKILL.md` - Added three layers of enforcement to prevent skill-skipping rationalization
132
-
133
- ## v3.2.1 (2025-10-20)
134
-
135
- ### New Features
136
-
137
- **Code reviewer agent now included in plugin**
138
- - Added `superpowers:code-reviewer` agent to plugin's `agents/` directory
139
- - Agent provides systematic code review against plans and coding standards
140
- - Previously required users to have personal agent configuration
141
- - All skill references updated to use namespaced `superpowers:code-reviewer`
142
- - Fixes #55
143
-
144

149
- ## v3.2.0 (2025-10-18)
150
-
151
- ### New Features
152
-
153
- **Design documentation in brainstorming workflow**
154

155
- - Design documents now written to `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md` before implementation
156
- - Restores functionality from original brainstorming command that was lost during skill conversion
157
- - Documents written before worktree setup and implementation planning
158
- - Tested with subagent to verify compliance under time pressure
159
-
160
- ### Breaking Changes
161
-
162
- **Skill reference namespace standardization**
163
- - All internal skill references now use `superpowers:` namespace prefix
164
- - Updated format: `superpowers:test-driven-development` (previously just `test-driven-development`)
165
- - Affects all REQUIRED SUB-SKILL, RECOMMENDED SUB-SKILL, and REQUIRED BACKGROUND references
166
- - Aligns with how skills are invoked using the Skill tool
167
- - Files updated: brainstorming, executing-plans, subagent-driven-development, systematic-debugging, testing-skills-with-subagents, writing-plans, writing-skills
168
-
169
- ### Improvements
170
-
171
- **Design vs implementation plan naming**
172
- - Design documents use `-design.md` suffix to prevent filename collisions
173
- - Implementation plans continue using existing `YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md` format
174
- - Both stored in `docs/plans/` directory with clear naming distinction
175
-

177
-
178
- ### Bug Fixes
179
-
180
- - **Fixed command syntax in README** (#44) - Updated all command references to use correct namespaced syntax (`/superpowers:brainstorm` instead of `/brainstorm`). Plugin-provided commands are automatically namespaced by Claude Code to avoid conflicts between plugins.
181
-
182
- ## v3.1.0 (2025-10-17)
183
-
184

188
- - Examples: `brainstorming`, `test-driven-development`, `using-git-worktrees`
189

206
-
207
- ### Improvements
208
-
209
- **Skill cross-reference clarity**
210
- - All skill references now use explicit requirement markers:
211
- - `**REQUIRED BACKGROUND:**` - Prerequisites you must understand
212
- - `**REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:**` - Skills that must be used in workflow

214
- - Removed old path format (`skills/collaboration/X` → just `X`)

229

230

-
241
- ## v3.0.1 (2025-10-16)
242
-
243
- ### Changes
244
-
245
- We now use Anthropic's first-party skills system!
246
-
247
- ## v2.0.2 (2025-10-12)
248
-
249
- ### Bug Fixes
250
-
251
- - **Fixed false warning when local skills repo is ahead of upstream** - The initialization script was incorrectly warning "New skills available from upstream" when the local repository had commits ahead of upstream. The logic now correctly distinguishes between three git states: local behind (should update), local ahead (no warning), and diverged (should warn).
252
-
253
- ## v2.0.1 (2025-10-12)
254
-
255
- ### Bug Fixes
256
-
257
- - **Fixed session-start hook execution in plugin context** (#8, PR #9) - The hook was failing silently with "Plugin hook error" preventing skills context from loading. Fixed by:
258
- - Using `${BASH_SOURCE[0]:-$0}` fallback when BASH_SOURCE is unbound in Claude Code's execution context
259
- - Adding `|| true` to handle empty grep results gracefully when filtering status flags

- # Superpowers v2.0.0 Release Notes
264
-
265
- ## Overview
266
-
267
- Superpowers v2.0 makes skills more accessible, maintainable, and community-driven through a major architectural shift.
268
-
269
- The headline change is **skills repository separation**: all skills, scripts, and documentation have moved from the plugin into a dedicated repository ([obra/superpowers-skills](https://github.com/obra/superpowers-skills)). This transforms superpowers from a monolithic plugin into a lightweight shim that manages a local clone of the skills repository. Skills auto-update on session start. Users fork and contribute improvements via standard git workflows. The skills library versions independently from the plugin.
270
-
271
- Beyond infrastructure, this release adds nine new skills focused on problem-solving, research, and architecture. We rewrote the core **using-skills** documentation with imperative tone and clearer structure, making it easier for Claude to understand when and how to use skills. **find-skills** now outputs paths you can paste directly into the Read tool, eliminating friction in the skills discovery workflow.
272
-
273
- Users experience seamless operation: the plugin handles cloning, forking, and updating automatically. Contributors find the new architecture makes improving and sharing skills trivial. This release lays the foundation for skills to evolve rapidly as a community resource.
274
-
275
- ## Breaking Changes
276
-
277
- ### Skills Repository Separation
278
-
279
- **The biggest change:** Skills no longer live in the plugin. They've been moved to a separate repository at [obra/superpowers-skills](https://github.com/obra/superpowers-skills).
280
-
281
- **What this means for you:**
282
-
283
- - **First install:** Plugin automatically clones skills to `~/.config/superpowers/skills/`
284
- - **Forking:** During setup, you'll be offered the option to fork the skills repo (if `gh` is installed)
285
- - **Updates:** Skills auto-update on session start (fast-forward when possible)
286
- - **Contributing:** Work on branches, commit locally, submit PRs to upstream
287
- - **No more shadowing:** Old two-tier system (personal/core) replaced with single-repo branch workflow
288
-
289
- **Migration:**
290
-
291
- If you have an existing installation:
292
- 1. Your old `~/.config/superpowers/.git` will be backed up to `~/.config/superpowers/.git.bak`
293
- 2. Old skills will be backed up to `~/.config/superpowers/skills.bak`
294
- 3. Fresh clone of obra/superpowers-skills will be created at `~/.config/superpowers/skills/`
295
-
296
- ### Removed Features
