Superpowers

Skill pack that gives coding agents a plan-first, test-driven workflow

  • Agent skills and plugins
  • AI coding agents
View on GitHub

What it is

It bundles modular skills with startup instructions that change how AI coding agents handle a task: they first ask clarifying questions, write a spec in reviewable chunks, produce a detailed implementation plan, then carry it out through subagents that build, test, and review each step. The workflow leans on red/green TDD, YAGNI, and DRY. Developers who use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and similar harnesses install it as a plugin so the skills load automatically in each session.
