Superpowers (pcvelz)
Superpowers -- extended fork of obra/superpowers for Claude Code.
15 built-in skills that auto-activate by development context.
Key advantage: .tasks.json persistence -- plans survive between sessions.
Install
claude plugins marketplace add pcvelz/superpowers
claude plugins install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
Skills Included (15)
Testing & Quality
- test-driven-development -- RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle
- verification-before-completion -- verify fix actually works before claiming done
- systematic-debugging -- 4-phase root cause analysis
Planning
- brainstorming -- 9-step design-first flow, hard gate before code
- writing-plans -- plans with
.tasks.json (goal, files, acceptanceCriteria, verifyCommand)
- executing-plans -- loads
.tasks.json, continues from last completed task
Collaboration
- requesting-code-review -- pre-review checklist
- receiving-code-review -- implement review feedback with rigor
- dispatching-parallel-agents -- concurrent subagent workflows
- subagent-driven-development -- two-stage review (spec compliance + code quality)
Git
- using-git-worktrees -- isolated development branches
- finishing-a-development-branch -- merge/PR decisions
Meta
- writing-skills -- TDD framework for creating new skills
- using-superpowers -- meta-skill, auto-invocation rules
- shared -- shared utilities for other skills
Key Differences from obra/superpowers
.tasks.json persistence -- plans survive session restarts- Pre-commit hook -- blocks commit if tasks incomplete
- Task metadata:
verifyCommand, acceptanceCriteria per task
- PlanMode explicitly banned (EnterPlanMode/ExitPlanMode)
- Multi-IDE: Claude Code + Codex + Cursor + OpenCode
- Built-in code-reviewer subagent in agents/
Integration
Works as a plugin layer on top of CLAUDE.md memory architecture.
Does not replace existing memory/rules -- complements them with
proven development workflows that activate automatically.
