Superpowers at a glance
Checked 18 Oct 2026Superpowers is a set of Markdown skills plus a bootstrap that makes a coding agent ask what you want, write a design and a step-by-step plan, then build it with red/green TDD, subagents and review between tasks. It installs as a plugin for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode and other harnesses, so you need one of those agents and its paid plan or API key. MIT licence. An optional visual companion loads a logo from the maintainer's site (telemetry, can be turned off). It is a free add-on and does not replace a paid product.
