About This Skill

Superpowers is Jesse Vincent's complete software-development methodology plugin, composed of 14 first-party Skills plus startup, host, script, test, and documentation depth.

Quick Start

  1. 1Install the complete Superpowers repository boundary; do not flatten it to one Skill.
  2. 2At startup or after compaction, scan available Skills and invoke every requested or applicable process Skill first.
  3. 3Follow the selected process Skills before implementation Skills, preserving direct-instruction precedence.
  4. 4Use the verification and finishing Skills before handoff; a matched session transcript is still required for proof.

Core Capabilities

Skill routing gate

The bootstrap Skill scans explicit requests and trigger matches before any action, including exploration or clarification.

14 composable Skills

Brainstorming, planning, implementation, review, debugging, verification, and branch finishing remain independent members.

Complete plugin boundary

Hooks, host manifests, scripts, docs, tests, assets, and the repository install path remain in the 180-entry source package.

Explicit precedence

Direct instructions, installed Skill content, platform references, and defaults keep their declared order.

SKILL.md

# Superpowers

This edition derives from obra/superpowers v6.2.0 at 3dcbd5c4b48e02263fbf4a3c01e3fe4f81d584d9.

## Product boundary

Superpowers is a complete plugin suite, not a single SKILL.md: 14 member Skills sit alongside startup hooks, host manifests, scripts, docs, tests, and assets.

## Bootstrap contract

At startup or after compaction, scan applicable Skills, invoke process Skills before implementation Skills, announce the match, and preserve direct-instruction precedence. The full 180-entry package remains intact; no session transcript is included in this release edition.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

What are Superpowers Skills?
Superpowers is a complete software-development methodology plugin by Jesse Vincent and the Prime Radiant team, with 14 composable Skills and repository-level runtime integration.
Is Superpowers one Skill or a suite?
It is a plugin suite. The natural download boundary includes the member Skills, startup and host adapters, scripts, tests, docs, hooks, assets, and manifests.
What did the candidate change?
The optimized candidate changes the bootstrap Skill and synchronized derivative version fields. It adds one ordered Skill Gate and keeps the other package entries byte-identical.
Is a real agent-session proof available?
No. Original and candidate sessions still need matched transcripts covering routing, order, compaction, and task completion; no comparison run is rendered here.
Can I download it now?
Yes. Download the approved immutable Superpowers Skills: A Disciplined Software Development Workflow package from this page. Its source revision, file count, byte size, SHA-256, and release receipt are shown here; this evidence does not claim runtime outcomes.
