- Covers test-driven development, systematic debugging, and collaboration patterns

- Official superpowers-dev marketplace entry from obra/superpowers on the plugin index

What problem does it solve?
Coding agents default to ad-hoc fixes and one-off prompts, so solo builders lose consistent TDD and debugging discipline across sessions and repos.
Who is it for?
Indie developers already on Claude Code who want a single marketplace install that loads shared engineering rituals rather than copying SKILL.md fragments per project.
Skip if: Teams that do not use Claude Code marketplaces, or builders who only need a single task skill with no TDD or collaboration methodology.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register obra/superpowers, Claude Code can draw on a versioned Superpowers skills bundle so implementation and fix workflows follow the same proven techniques every time.
- Registered superpowers-dev marketplace with the superpowers v5.1.0 plugin enabled
- On-demand access to Superpowers core skills for TDD, debugging, and collaboration in agent sessions

Journey fit
Superpowers ships as a Claude Code marketplace whose core plugin is a methodology and technique library; the canonical shelf is agent-tooling in Build because that is where most builders register it, even though TDD and debugging rituals apply again in Ship. agent-tooling fits a bundled skills library installed through Claude Code’s plugin system rather than a single integration or doc generator.
How it compares
Curated methodology marketplace for Claude Code, not a standalone MCP server or one document-processing skill.
