obra/superpowers
A skills framework and software-development methodology for Claude Code, bundling disciplined workflows like brainstorming, test-driven development, and subagent orchestration.
Why it matters
Superpowers is the reference implementation of how to run Claude as a rigorous engineer rather than a code generator. Instead of one clever prompt, it ships a coherent set of skills — planning, TDD, code review, parallel subagents — that reinforce each other across a whole project. If you want a proven baseline before assembling your own stack, this is where most serious setups begin.
Use cases
- Enforce a plan-then-build workflow on multi-step features
- Run test-driven development where failing tests come first
- Dispatch parallel subagents with review checkpoints between tasks
- Adopt a vetted skill set instead of hand-rolling your own conventions
