About
Superpowers, by Jesse Vincent and Prime Radiant, is a set of composable skills plus starting instructions that change how your coding agent works. Instead of jumping straight into code, it first asks what you are really trying to build and plays the spec back in short chunks for you to approve. Then it writes an implementation plan of small tasks with exact file paths and checks, and works through it, either with a fresh subagent per task and a review after each, or inline with one review at the end. The skills trigger on their own when they fit.
Skills inside include test-driven-development (strict red, green, refactor), systematic-debugging, verification-before-completion, brainstorming, writing-plans, executing-plans, subagent-driven-development, dispatching-parallel-agents, requesting-code-review and receiving-code-review, using-git-worktrees, finishing-a-development-branch, and writing-skills for making your own.
Install in Claude Code, either from Anthropic’s official marketplace:
