Superpowers

Superpowers is an open-source agentic skills framework and software development methodology for coding agents. It begins by eliciting and presenting a software specification for approval, then produces an implementation plan emphasizing red/green test-driven development, YAGNI, and DRY. After approval, it uses a subagent-driven-development process in which agents implement engineering tasks, inspect and review the results, and continue according to the plan. It is distributed as a plugin for supported coding-agent harnesses, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others.
