Help me plan a feature

If the AI starts asking questions instead of writing code directly, Superpowers is working.

Configuration File Locations

  • Skills directory: ~/.claude/plugins/superpowers/skills/
  • Custom skills: ~/.claude/skills/

Updating

bash
/plugin update superpowers

Troubleshooting

AI still writes code directly after installation

Make sure you're in a new session. Old sessions won't reload skills. Use /clear or restart Claude Code.

Check your network connection and ensure you can access GitHub. If using a proxy, configure the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.
