superpowers

A multi-format plugin bundle that organizes planning, testing and implementation through reusable development skills and startup guidance.

What it does

The checked repository contains native manifests for several agent clients, a skills library and hooks. Its README describes a staged development process covering clarification, planning, implementation and review. The package changes how an agent approaches work; it is not simply another external tool connection.

Best for

A developer who wants an explicit workflow for a substantial change and can supply repository conventions, test commands and acceptance criteria. It is especially relevant when unstructured requests otherwise lead directly to edits before the task has been scoped.

Tradeoffs

Process instructions and hooks can overlap with existing project or organization rules. The README describes autonomous and delegated work, but installing a package does not grant those permissions. Preserve your own approval, network and publication boundaries, and inspect any optional telemetry or companion features.

A practical first task

Use the publisher's setup for your specific client. Try a small feature in a disposable branch, review the proposed plan and inspect the resulting diff and tests. Install separately for each client rather than assuming one format is universal.

What to validate

Confirm that project rules still take precedence, the chosen client loads the expected skills and the workflow produces a reviewable change. The detected formats are source evidence, not successful runtime tests of every supported client.

Compatibility

claude-code, codex, cursor, gemini-cli

Publisher manifests for claude-code, codex, cursor, gemini-cli; runtime behavior not tested

Compatibility source

Installation and requirements

Use the setup for your exact agent client. The bundle contains startup hooks and workflow skills; inspect those alongside project rules.

The checked README documents this Claude Code marketplace route. Codex, Cursor and Gemini have separate publisher setup instructions; this command is not universal.

/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official

Open the pinned package below and follow its publisher instructions for your agent. A Skills installer is not a universal plugin installer. Review hooks, bundled MCP connections, permissions and configuration before enabling the package.

Presence is a static file/manifest observation. A missing declaration does not prove the component is absent at runtime.

Safety and permissions

Unknown — no runtime security assessment.

Only sanitized manifest/registry metadata and bounded documentation are inspected. Package code, transitive dependencies, hooks and remote services have not been audited. Review access before use.
