superpowers

Gives coding agents a disciplined workflow from idea to merged code

Guides AI coding agents through brainstorming, spec writing, planning, test-driven development, and code review. Stops agents from guessing fixes, skipping tests, or claiming success without proof. Runs subagent-driven task execution with reviews between steps, so long coding sessions stay on plan and produce verified, mergeable work.
