What is Superpowers?

Superpowers is an open-source skills framework and software development methodology created to make AI coding agents behave more like disciplined engineering collaborators. The project provides a structured set of workflows that activate automatically when an agent is asked to build, modify, debug, or review software. Rather than allowing the agent to rush into implementation, Superpowers encourages it to ask clarifying questions, refine the idea, and produce a clear design before code is written. After the user approves the design, the framework guides the agent to create a detailed implementation plan that breaks the work into small, verifiable engineering tasks. Each task can include file paths, code guidance, testing instructions, and clear completion criteria. Superpowers strongly promotes test-driven development through a red-green-refactor process that requires failing tests before implementation. It also supports subagent-driven development, where fresh agents work through tasks and review outputs for both specification compliance and code quality. The framework includes additional skills for systematic debugging, verification before completion, parallel agent workflows, code review, git worktrees, and branch finishing. Superpowers works across several coding agent harnesses, including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Codex App, Factory Droid, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot CLI. Its philosophy prioritizes evidence over claims, simplicity over unnecessary complexity, and systematic workflows over ad-hoc guessing. Superpowers helps developers and teams use AI coding agents with more structure, accountability, testing discipline, and confidence.
