About
superpowers-dev is Obra's Claude Code plugin marketplace that publishes the Superpowers core skills library as one installable plugin. The docs describe a software-development methodology built on composable skills that trigger automatically, steering the agent through brainstorming, planning, TDD, subagent-driven development, and code review. Developers install it so their coding agent follows consistent engineering rituals across sessions instead of re-pasting instructions each time.
- One plugin publishing the Superpowers core skills library
- Skills trigger automatically to enforce TDD and review
- Covers brainstorming, planning, subagent-driven development
- Installable per harness (Claude Code and others)
