- Superpowers is a software development workflow for coding agents, built on composable 'skills' and initial instructions.
- It starts by asking for a clear specification before writing code, then presents the design in digestible chunks.
- After design approval, it creates an implementation plan emphasizing TDD, YAGNI, and DRY principles.
- Uses subagent-driven development to autonomously execute tasks with reviews, often running for hours without deviation.
- Installation varies by platform: Claude Code uses a plugin system, while Codex and OpenCode require manual setup.
- Key skills include brainstorming, using-git-worktrees, writing-plans, subagent-driven-development, and test-driven-development.
- Mandatory workflows ensure systematic processes like debugging, collaboration, and code reviews.
- Encourages contributions by allowing users to create and submit new skills following best practices.
- Skills update automatically when the plugin is updated, and the project is under MIT License.
