Use Case
Superpowers is a powerful AI agent skill that extends your assistant with new capabilities. An engineering workflow framework by Jesse Vincent built on the philosophy that 'process beats prompts'. Superpowers transforms Claude Code from a passive code generator into a disciplined senior engineering partner that follows TDD, systematic debugging, and documented planning. Contains 20+ battle-tested skills covering planning, execution, verification, and collaboration. Opened in October 2025, it quickly topped GitHub Trending and became the highest-starred single workflow framework in the Claude ecosystem.
