Superpowers（Claude Code 技能库）技能与配置库·英文原文 ↗仓库 ↗

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.

Table of Contents ​

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 ​

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:

    bash
    /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official

Superpowers Marketplace ​

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

  • Register the marketplace:

    bash
    /plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace

  • Install the plugin from this marketplace:

    bash
    /plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace

Antigravity ​

Install Superpowers as a plugin from this repository:

bash
agy plugin install https://github.com/obra/superpowers

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:

    bash
    /plugins

  • Search for Superpowers:

    bash
    superpowers

  • Select Install Plugin.

Cursor ​

  • In Cursor Agent chat, install from marketplace:

    text
    /add-plugin superpowers

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

Devin CLI ​

  • Install the plugin from this repository:

    bash
    devin plugins install obra/superpowers

  • Update to the latest version with:

    bash
    devin plugins update superpowers

Factory Droid ​

  • Register the marketplace:

    bash
    droid plugin marketplace add https://github.com/obra/superpowers

  • Install the plugin:

    bash
    droid plugin install superpowers@superpowers

Gemini CLI ​

  • Install the extension:

    bash
    gemini extensions install https://github.com/obra/superpowers

  • Update later:

    bash
    gemini extensions update superpowers

GitHub Copilot CLI ​

  • Register the marketplace:

    bash
    copilot plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace

  • Install the plugin:

    bash
    copilot plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace

Grok Build CLI ​

Superpowers is available via the official Grok plugin marketplace.

  • Install the plugin from xAI's official marketplace:

    bash
    grok plugin install superpowers@xai-official --trust

  • Or open the marketplace in the TUI, search for Superpowers, and install it:

    text
    /marketplace

Kimi Code ​

Superpowers is available in Kimi Code's plugin marketplace.

  • Open Kimi Code's plugin manager:

    text
    /plugins

  • Go to Marketplace > Superpowers and install it.

  • Or install directly from this repository:

    text
    /plugins install https://github.com/obra/superpowers

  • 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:

    Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/refs/heads/main/.opencode/INSTALL.md

  • Detailed docs: docs/README.opencode.md

Pi ​

Install Superpowers as a Pi package from this repository:

bash
pi install git:github.com/obra/superpowers

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

bash
pi -e /path/to/superpowers

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.

Hermes Agent ​

Install Superpowers as a Hermes plugin from this repository:

bash
hermes plugins install obra/superpowers --enable

Restart any active Hermes sessions after installing. Note: Hermes has no post-compaction hook, so a very long session that compacts over its first turn loses the bootstrap — start a fresh session if skills stop triggering.

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 approved design. Breaks work into bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each). Every task has exact file paths, complete code, verification steps.

  4. subagent-driven-development or executing-plans - Activates with plan. Dispatches fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality), or executes in batches with human checkpoints.

  5. test-driven-development - Activates during implementation. Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR: write failing test, watch it fail, write minimal code, watch it pass, commit. Deletes code written before tests.

  6. requesting-code-review - Activates between tasks. Reviews against plan, reports issues by severity. Critical issues block progress.

  7. finishing-a-development-branch - Activates when tasks complete. Verifies tests, presents options (merge/PR/keep/discard), cleans up worktree.

The agent checks for relevant skills before any task. Mandatory workflows, not suggestions.

Community ​

Superpowers is built by Jesse Vincent and the rest of the folks at Prime Radiant.
