Superpowers is a plugin that equips coding agents such as Claude Code with a structured software development methodology built from a library of composable skills. It guides work from an initial idea through design refinement, implementation planning, subagent-driven coding with staged review, and test-driven development, ending with branch cleanup or merge/PR decisions. The skills activate automatically as relevant tasks arise, rather than needing to be invoked manually. It also includes a mechanism for creating and testing new skills. The project is open source under the MIT license and is maintained by Jesse Vincent and Prime Radiant.
What you can do with superpowers
- Turn a rough idea into a written design document through iterative question-driven refinement
- Create an isolated git worktree and confirm a clean test baseline before coding starts
- Break an approved design into small, verifiable implementation tasks with exact file paths
- Follow a red-green-refactor test-driven development cycle alongside a systematic root-cause debugging process
- Request and respond to code review between tasks, with issues categorized by severity
- Wrap up a development branch by choosing to merge, open a PR, keep, or discard the work
- Author and test new skills using the built-in skill-writing guidance
