An agentic skills framework and software development methodology, and the most-starred skills collection on GitHub. Includes the widely-adopted test-driven-development (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR enforcement), systematic-debugging (4-phase root cause analysis), writing-plans, and executing-plans skills. Many of these have been vendored into countless other repos — this is the upstream.

How to load this skill

Fastest: copy this prompt into your AI agent

Please install the "Superpowers" agent skills collection (https://github.com/obra/superpowers) for me.

If you are Claude Code:
1. Run: /plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers
2. Show me the available plugins from this marketplace and ask which I want, then install them.

If you are another agent that supports SKILL.md skills (Codex, Cursor, etc.):
1. Run: git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers
2. List the skill folders in the repo (each contains a SKILL.md) and ask me which I want.
3. Copy the chosen skill folders into your skills directory (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/ or your agent's equivalent).
4. Confirm the skills load (list your available skills afterwards).

Superpowers is a Claude Code plugin marketplace. Register it once, then install individual plugins/skills from it. For other agents, clone and copy the skill folders you need.

  1. Claude Code — register marketplace 
    /plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers
  2. Claude Code — then browse & install 
    /plugin
  3. Any agent — clone and copy a skill folder 
    git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers && cp -r superpowers/<skill-name> ~/.claude/skills/

For AI agents: this entry is also available as JSON at /skills/skills.json — the install.steps field contains these commands. See the agent instructions on the directory index.
