Superpowers

What it does

Superpowers extends Claude Code with reusable skills and stronger workflow patterns, so repeated coding tasks can be packaged instead of handled as one-off prompts.

Best fit

Claude Code users who want battle-tested workflow extensions.

Capabilities

• Starts with brainstorming instead of jumping into code: the agent asks what you are trying to build, extracts a spec, and shows it in reviewable chunks.
• After design approval, it writes implementation plans with small tasks, exact file paths, code expectations, and verification steps.
• Ships a skills library: TDD, systematic debugging, verification before completion, brainstorming, writing plans, executing plans, code review, git worktrees, and finishing branches.
• Supports subagent-driven development: fresh subagents work through tasks and review for spec compliance and code quality.
• Can be installed across multiple harnesses including Claude Code, Codex App, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity, Kimi Code, Pi, and Copilot CLI.
• Workflow skills can trigger automatically, so the agent checks for the relevant process before starting a task.

Use cases

• Add reusable skills to Claude Code projects.
• Study how a popular Claude Code extension structures workflows.
• Use brainstorming when the user has an idea but no clear spec yet.
• Use writing-plans before a multi-file change so every task has files and verification.
• Use test-driven-development for risky logic so the agent writes failing tests first.
• Use using-git-worktrees when the agent needs an isolated branch and clean baseline.
• Use requesting-code-review between tasks to block critical issues before continuing.
