What it does

A skills framework that makes agents brainstorm, plan, test and debug systematically.

Superpowers is a complete software development methodology for your coding agents, built on top of a set of composable skills and some initial instructions that make sure your agent uses them.

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.

Quoted from the README of obra/superpowers.

Inside the repo

Step by step

1. Open the GitHub repo and skim the README (install commands change often).
2. Install it: copy the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code) or ~/.codex/skills/ (Codex), or use the plugin/marketplace command from the README.
3. Restart Claude Code or Codex.
4. Ask for the job in plain words; the skill loads when your request matches.
