Superpowers for Claude Code: Skills and Setup

Superpowers is an agent skills framework that supplies a development workflow to coding agents, including Claude Code. It is a third-party project; choose the installation method for the particular agent you use.

What the workflow does

The maintainers describe a sequence from brainstorming and planning through implementation, review and verification. The skills are instructions for the agent, not proof that a change is correct or that an agent followed every step.

Find the Claude Code setup

Open the repository’s installation section and follow its Claude Code marketplace instructions. Review plugin permissions and restart the session if the current instructions require it. The repository also documents other agent integrations; installing for one does not automatically configure the others.

For a first trial, choose a small change with clear acceptance criteria. Review the plan and the actual files, run the checks appropriate to your project, and decide whether the extra planning steps fit the task. Hooks and subagents may have separate permissions or costs in your environment.

The repository reports an MIT licence. Documentation checked November 4, 2026. Varwo did not install the plugin or conduct a benchmark.

A small first workflow

Start a new Claude Code session after following the project's instructions. Give it one bounded feature and ask for a plan with acceptance criteria. Review the plan before implementation, then inspect the diff and run the checks your project requires. Superpowers describes brainstorming, planning, test-driven development and review as separate skills; the surrounding agent and project rules still determine permissions and execution.

This is a suggested trial, not evidence that Varwo installed the plugin or tested an outcome.
