# obra/superpowers

> 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.

- Magnitude: 5.2 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 307,633 total · +210 stars measured 2026-10-29, 00:03–05:42 UTC, ≈ 933 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 00:03–05:42: 307423 → 307633 stars (+210). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +933 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 1.7× that of the previous week and a half.
- GitHub Trending today: #3, +1,095 stars.
- About 89 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 27,362
- Issues and pull requests: 2,434
- Watchers: 1,114
- Average over the last week: 715 per day
- Usual pace: 536 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 44
- Latest release: v7.0.1 (2026-10-21)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-29 05:52 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
