Getting Started

What is Superpowers?

Superpowers is a complete software development workflow for your coding agents. 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.

Core Workflow

Brainstorming → Writing Plans → Execution → Code Review → Finish Branch

1. Brainstorming - Understand requirements through dialogue, form design document
2. Writing Plans - Break down design into executable steps
3. Execution - Assign subagents to execute tasks
4. Code Review - Ensure code quality
5. Finish Branch - Merge or create PR

Installation

Choose your platform:

• Claude Code
• Cursor
• Codex
• OpenCode
• Gemini CLI

Verify Installation

Start a new session and try asking for something that should trigger a skill. For example: "help me plan this feature" or "let's debug this issue". The agent should automatically invoke the relevant superpowers skill.
