Detailed Skill Introduction

What Superpowers is for

Superpowers is an AI agent skill resource for Development, Meta & Tools, Testing workflows. Based on the archived project material, its core value is: Structures multi-step development with plans, subagents, and TDD.. People landing on this page are likely searching for Superpowers, Superpowers download, Superpowers installation, Superpowers README, Superpowers Skill URL, or platform-specific terms such as Claude Skills, Codex Skills, Gemini Skills, Kimi Skills, and GLM Skills. This detail page brings those signals together so a user can understand what the skill does before opening the original project.

README summary

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.

README capability notes

**Testing**

  • **test-driven-development** - RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle (includes testing anti-patterns reference)

**Debugging**

  • **systematic-debugging** - 4-phase root cause process (includes root-cause-tracing, defense-in-depth, condition-based-waiting techniques)
  • **verification-before-completion** - Ensure it's actually fixed

**Collaboration**

  • **brainstorming** - Socratic design refinement
  • **writing-plans** - Detailed implementation plans
  • **executing-plans** - Batch execution with checkpoints
  • **dispatching-parallel-agents** - Concurrent subagent workflows
  • **requesting-code-review** - Pre-review checklist
  • **receiving-code-review** - Responding to feedback
  • **using-git-worktrees** - Parallel development branches...

README usage notes

1. **brainstorming** - Activates before writing code. Refines rough ideas through questions, explores alternatives, presents design in sections for validation. Saves design document.

2. **using-git-worktrees** - Activates after design approval. Creates isolated workspace on new branch, runs project setup, verifies clean test baseline.

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.

4. **subagent-driven-development** or **executing-plans** - Activates with plan. Dispatches fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality), or executes in batches with human checkpoints.

README setup and configuration notes

Installation differs by harness. If you use more than one, install Superpowers separately for each one.

README setup and configuration notes

Superpowers updates are somewhat coding-agent dependent, but are often automatic.

Workflow fit and practical value

The current taxonomy places Superpowers under Development, Meta & Tools, Testing, with tags such as Planning, Subagents, TDD. That means the skill should be evaluated through the lens of repeatable work: what task it helps an AI agent perform, what context the agent needs, what output a user should expect, and whether the workflow can be reused as a team SOP. The archived README is used as the first source of truth whenever it includes feature lists, examples, setup notes, or usage guidance. The local Markdown download is useful for review, internal documentation, and adapting the instructions into your own agent skills repository.

Usage

1. **brainstorming** - Activates before writing code. Refines rough ideas through questions, explores alternatives, presents design in sections for validation. Saves design document.

2. **using-git-worktrees** - Activates after design approval. Creates isolated workspace on new branch, runs project setup, verifies clean test baseline.

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.

4. **subagent-driven-development** or **executing-plans** - Activates with plan. Dispatches fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality), or executes in batches with human checkpoints.

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.

6. **requesting-code-review** - Activates between tasks. Reviews against plan, reports issues by severity. Critical issues block progress.

7. **finishing-a-development-branch** - Activates when tasks complete. Verifies tests, presents options (merge/PR/keep/discard), cleans up worktree.

**The agent checks for relevant skills before any task.** Mandatory workflows, not suggestions.
