--- name: "superpowers" description: "Process & collaboration discipline vendored from obra/Superpowers (MIT).

See `NOTICE.md` + `LICENSE-superpowers`. These are **process skills**: they decide HOW to approach a task and run BEFORE implementation skills.* ## Priority (when multiple apply) - Process first: `brainstorming` / `writing-plans` before any build; `systematic-debugging` (now in `[[error-recovery]]`) before any fix. - "Let's build X" → brainstorm, then plan, then implement. "Fix bug Y" → debug-method first, then fix. ## The 8 vendored sub-skills — route by intent - **brainstorming** — `brainstorming/SKILL.md`. MUST run before ANY creative work (new feature, component, behavior change). Explores intent + requirements + design before code. Has an optional zero-dep visual companion server (`brainstorming/scripts/server.cjs`, see `brainstorming/visual-companion.md`). - **writing-plans** — `writing-plans/SKILL.md`. Turn a spec/requirements into a written multi-step implementation plan before touching code. Pairs with this repo's `/generate-prp` + `/writing-plans` flow. - **subagent-driven-development** — `subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md`. Execute a written plan's independent tasks via subagents in the current session. Complements `[[monitor-orchestration]]` + `[[parallel-subagent-economy]]`. - **using-git-worktrees** — `using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md`. Create an isolated workspace before feature work. Aligns with `[[main-only-branch]]` (worktrees for isolation, `main` always committed). - **finishing-a-development-branch** — `finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md`. When work is complete + tests pass, choose merge / PR / cleanup. Honors `[[main-only-branch]]` + `[[no-staging-doctrine]]`. - **requesting-code-review** — `requesting-code-review/SKILL.md`. Before merge, dispatch a reviewer (see `requesting-code-review/code-reviewer.md`). Complements this repo's Agent Diversity Review gate. - **receiving-code-review** — `receiving-code-review/SKILL.md`. Verify feedback technically before acting — no performative agreement, no blind implementation. - **writing-skills** — `writing-skills/SKILL.md`. Author/edit/test skills. Read alongside this repo's `[[skill-authoring-contract]]` (owned format rules win on conflict). ## Folded — overlapping techniques live in existing rules (not duplicated here) Per `repo-folder-hygiene` (one canonical per doc class), the overlapping Superpowers skills were folded into owned rules, attributed: - **test-driven-development** → `[[e2e-tdd-organization]]` § Folded from Superpowers - **systematic-debugging** → `[[error-recovery]]` § Folded from Superpowers - **verification-before-completion** → `[[verification-loop]]` § Folded from Superpowers - **dispatching-parallel-agents** → `[[parallel-subagent-economy]]` § Folded from Superpowers - **executing-plans** → `[[monitor-orchestration]]` § Folded from Superpowers - **using-superpowers** → discipline already in `01-operating-system` (skill-check before action) ## Conflict precedence - This repo's `01-operating-system` + `rules/*` + Brian's preferences WIN over any vendored guidance on conflict (per the repo's Conflict Resolution order). - Vendored skill bodies are kept verbatim for fidelity; repo-specific routing lives in THIS dispatcher.
