Superpowers

Superpowers is a complete software development methodology for your coding agents, built on top of a set of composable skills and some initial instructions that make sure your agent uses them. Quickstart

Give your agent Superpowers: Claude Code, Antigravity, Codex App, Codex CLI, Cursor, Factory Droid, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Kimi Code, OpenCode, Pi. How it works

It starts from the moment you fire up your coding agent. As soon as it sees that you're building something, it doesn't just jump into trying to write code. Instead, it steps back and asks you what you're really trying to do.

Once it's teased a spec out of the conversation, it shows it to you in chunks short enough to actually read and digest.

After you've signed off on the design, your agent puts together an implementation plan that's clear enough for an enthusiastic junior engineer with poor taste, no judgement, no project context, and an aversion to testing to follow. It emphasizes true red/green TDD, YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), and DRY.

Next up, once you say "go", it launches a subagent-driven-development process, having agents work through each engineering task, inspecting and reviewing their work, and continuing forward. It's not uncommon for your agent to work autonomously for a couple hours at a time without deviating from the plan you put together.

There's a bunch more to it, but that's the core of the system. And because the skills trigger automatically, you don't need to do anything special. Your coding agent just has Superpowers. Commercial Services

If you're using Superpowers in enterprise and could benefit from commercial support, additional tooling, or managed spending, please don't hesitate to drop us a line at [email protected]. Installation

Installation differs by harness. If you use more than one, install Superpowers separately for each one. Claude Code

Superpowers is available via the official Claude plugin marketplace Official Marketplace

• Install the plugin from Anthropic's official marketplace: Superpowers Marketplace

The Superpowers marketplace provides Superpowers and some other related plugins for Claude Code.

• Register the marketplace:

• Install the plugin from this marketplace: Antigravity

Install Superpowers as a plugin from this repository:

Antigravity runs the plugin's session-start hook, so Superpowers is active from the first message. Reinstall with the same command to update. Codex App

Superpowers is available via the official Codex plugin marketplace.

• In the Codex app, click on Plugins in the sidebar.
• You should see Superpowers in the Coding section.
• Click the + next to Superpowers and follow the prompts. Codex CLI

Superpowers is available via the official Codex plugin marketplace.

• Open the plugin search interface:

• Search for Superpowers:

• Select Install Plugin. Cursor

• In Cursor Agent chat, install from marketplace:

• Or search for "superpowers" in the plugin marketplace. Factory Droid

• Register the marketplace:

• Install the plugin: Gemini CLI

• Install the extension:

• Update later: GitHub Copilot CLI

• Register the marketplace:

• Install the plugin: Kimi Code

Superpowers is available in Kimi Code's plugin marketplace.

• Open Kimi Code's plugin manager:

• Go to Marketplace > Superpowers and install it.

• Or install directly from this repository:

• Detailed docs: docs/README.kimi.md OpenCode

OpenCode uses its own plugin install; install Superpowers separately even if you already use it in another harness.

• Tell OpenCode:

• Detailed docs: docs/README.opencode.md Pi

Install Superpowers as a Pi package from this repository:

For local development, run Pi with this checkout loaded as a temporary package:

The Pi package loads the Superpowers skills and a small extension that injects the using-superpowers bootstrap at session startup and again after compaction. Pi has native skills, so no compatibility Skill tool is required. Subagent and task-list tools remain optional Pi companion packages. The Basic Workflow

1. brainstorming - Activates before writing code. Refines rough ideas through questions, explores alternatives, presents design in sections for validation. Saves design document.

2. using-git-worktrees - Activates after design approval. Creates isolated workspace on new branch, runs project setup, verifies clean test baseline.

3. writing-plans - Activates with a
