Superpowers
SkillProductivityUse when a non-trivial software task has ambiguous requirements, multi-step implementation risk, failing technical behavior, independent subtasks, or a feature branch to finish. Not for one-line fixes or passive code reading.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.

Then ask your AI: use the Superpowers skill
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by qianleigood/crawclaw in skills/superpowers/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Use this skill when the user wants a disciplined software-delivery workflow, not just a code patch.
Pipeline
Idea -> Brainstorm -> Plan -> Subagent-Driven Build -> Review -> Finish Branch
Treat this as mandatory workflow, not optional advice.
Phase routing
references/brainstorming.mdUse before coding to explore context, ask clarifying questions, compare approaches, and produce a design.references/writing-plans.mdUse after design approval to turn the design into small executable tasks.references/subagent-development.mdUse when executing the plan withsessions_spawn, TDD, and staged review.references/systematic-debugging.mdUse for failures, regressions, or any technical issue; no fixes before root-cause work.references/tdd.mdUse whenever a task is implemented.references/finishing-branch.mdUse when all tasks are done and the branch is ready to merge, push, keep, or discard.
Hard rules
- No code before design approval.
- TDD is mandatory.
- One clarifying question at a time during brainstorming.
- Prefer evidence over claims; verify before declaring success.
- Keep changes minimal and commit after green checkpoints.
Subagent dispatch
When using sessions_spawn, always include:
- goal
- plan/context
- exact files
- constraints
- verification command
- the task text itself
