What it does

An agentic development methodology as a Claude Code plugin: a set of skills that walk the agent through brainstorming, planning, and test-driven implementation in phases, with review gates between them.

Built for people who want a repeatable workflow instead of ad-hoc prompting — the plugin ships the methodology as instruction files the agent reads.

Install

Verified against github.com/obra/superpowers (README, Installation), 2026-10-19.

Trust score: 7/10

• Skill-file review (3/3): the plugin ships methodology instruction files only — no executables, no data collection beyond its stated job of guiding the agent's workflow.
• Install behavior (3/3): plugin marketplace install is a read-only file install; nothing runs on your machine at install time.
• Prompt-injection surface (1/4): the skill files are prompt content that reshapes agent behavior in every session — the repo's integrity is the whole trust story. A widely-starred repo (302k) means many eyes, but stars measure attention, not review.

How the score works: skill-file review, install behavior, and prompt-injection surface, each scored against what the skill asks for beyond its stated job. This is a public-code review as of 2026-10-19 — a signal, not a certification. Full methodology: skills index.
