About the project

A software development methodology for coding agents: a set of composable skills that make the agent clarify the spec, agree on a plan, and work through subagents with TDD.

Useful for

Install Superpowers in Claude Code or Cursor so the agent asks for a spec before writing code
Run a feature through spec, plan, and subagent-driven implementation with red/green TDD
Enforce one development process across several coding agents in a team

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
