Superpowers Framework is a widely-used agentic skills framework and methodology for software development that equips coding agents like Claude Code with structured capabilities to plan, develop, test, and review code systematically. Instead of simply generating code, Superpowers drives an AI through a thoughtful software engineering workflow that starts with clarifying project intent, teasing out a detailed specification, and creating an implementation plan that is readable and actionable. It incorporates test-driven development, task planning, and sub-agent orchestration so that each engineering task is executed, checked, and iterated upon with rigor rather than ad-hoc improvisation. Superpowers includes a rich set of modular “skills” that guide the AI in areas such as brainstorming, planning, debugging, and code review, giving it the tools to function like a disciplined developer rather than a naive auto-completer.
