Superpowers is a Claude Code (and multi-agent) plugin that packages a full software development methodology as a set of composable skills for coding agents. It guides an agent through brainstorming a spec, writing a detailed implementation plan, executing that plan via subagent-driven or checkpointed workflows, enforcing red-green-refactor test-driven development, running systematic debugging, and requesting code review before finishing a branch. The skills are designed to trigger automatically so the agent follows this process without extra prompting from the user. It is built by Jesse Vincent and Prime Radiant, distributed under the MIT license, and works across many coding-agent harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and others. An optional, disableable telemetry feature loads a logo image with version information from the maintainers' website but does not send project or prompt data.
What you can do with superpowers
- Turn a rough idea into a written specification through guided brainstorming
- Generate a detailed, step-by-step implementation plan for a coding task
- Set up an isolated git worktree and clean test baseline before starting work
- Execute plan tasks through subagent-driven development with staged review, or in checkpointed batches
- Enforce red-green-refactor test-driven development during implementation
- Run a structured, multi-phase debugging process to find root causes
- Request and respond to code review checks tied to severity of issues
- Decide how to finish a development branch (merge, PR, keep, or discard) after verification
