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.

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…
How plugins work
- A plugin bundles slash commands, subagents, skills, hooks, MCP servers and status lines so they install together.
- Add the marketplace inside Claude Code with /plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers, then run /plugin to pick what to install.
- You can turn a plugin off again from /plugin without deleting anything.
