Superpowers Bundle · 14 skills

Use it when
you want the agent to follow a full development process instead of jumping straight to code
It does
chains its skills into one workflow: brainstorm, plan, build test-first on its own branch, review, then merge
You get
an approved design, a written plan, tested commits and a review before anything merges
Runs
by itself: before every reply, the agent checks which of its skills applies
Works with
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and more, each installed separately

TLDR

Superpowers makes its skills fire on their own: using-superpowers, loaded at the start of each session, has the agent check for a matching skill before every reply. Building something then follows one path. brainstorming asks what you actually want and ends with a design you approve, in chat for small changes or as a document for projects. using-git-worktrees sets up an isolated branch with a clean test baseline, and writing-plans breaks the design into small tasks, each with exact files, code and checks. The plan runs either through subagent-driven-development, a fresh subagent per task with a review after each, or through executing-plans, inline with one review at the end. Throughout, test-driven-development makes every change start from a failing test, and finishing-a-development-branch verifies the tests, then merges, opens a PR, keeps or discards the branch. Other skills step in when needed: systematic-debugging for bugs, verification-before-completion before claiming anything works, requesting-code-review and receiving-code-review around reviews, dispatching-parallel-agents for independent tasks, and writing-skills for writing new skills test-first.

Its skills, in the order they're used

  1. using-superpowers

    Only in the bundle 249K installs

    Makes the agent look for and invoke a matching skill before every response.

  2. brainstorming

    370K installs

    Explores what you actually want before any creative work starts.

  3. using-git-worktrees

    195K installs

    Isolates feature work in a git worktree.

  4. writing-plans

    255K installs

    Writes an implementation plan from a spec before touching code.

  5. subagent-driven-development

    Only in the bundle 210K installs

    Executes a plan with one fresh subagent per task and a review after each.

    Executes a plan such as writing-plans writes, and has its final reviewer use the prompt that ships with requesting-code-review.

  6. executing-plans

    Only in the bundle 217K installs

    Executes an implementation plan inline in the current session.

    Runs scripts that ship with subagent-driven-development, and loads test-driven-development and verification-before-completion.

  7. test-driven-development

    232K installs

    Writes the failing test first, then the code.

  8. requesting-code-review

    234K installs

    Sends finished work to a reviewer subagent before merging.

  9. receiving-code-review

    198K installs

    Evaluates review feedback technically before implementing it.

  10. finishing-a-development-branch

    192K installs

    Verifies tests, then merges, opens a PR or cleans up a finished branch.

  11. systematic-debugging

    266K installs

    Finds the root cause before proposing any fix.

  12. verification-before-completion

  14. writing-skills

    195K installs
