Overview

Superpowers is a software development methodology for coding agents. It is built from a set of composable skills plus starting instructions that make the agent use them. Instead of jumping straight into writing code when it sees you are building something, the agent follows a defined way of working. The README lists installation steps for many agent tools, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and GitHub Copilot CLI.

Key features

  • Composable skills that shape how an agent works
  • Starting instructions that make the agent apply the skills
  • Install guides for many agent tools and CLIs
  • Covers workflow topics such as brainstorming and subagent-driven development

Best for

Developers who use AI coding agents and want a consistent, repeatable process rather than ad hoc prompting. Setup differs by agent tool.
