Require session transcript for new-harness PRs


Most new-harness PRs ship integrations that copy skill files or wrap
with npx skills instead of loading the using-superpowers bootstrap at
session start. Those integrations look like they work but skills never
auto-trigger.


Add an acceptance test (“Let’s make a react todo list” must auto-trigger
brainstorming in a clean session) and require the transcript in the PR.

Superpowers

Superpowers is a complete software development methodology for your coding agents, built on top of a set of composable skills and some initial instructions that make sure your agent uses them.

How it works

It starts from the moment you fire up your coding agent. As soon as it sees that you’re building something, it doesn’t just jump into trying to write code. Instead, it steps back and asks you what you’re really trying to do.

Once it’s teased a spec out of the conversation, it shows it to you in chunks short enough to actually read and digest.

After you’ve signed off on the design, your agent puts together an implementation plan that’s clear enough for an enthusiastic junior engineer with poor taste, no judgement, no project context, and an aversion to testing to follow. It emphasizes true red/green TDD, YAGNI (You Aren’t Gonna Need It), and DRY.

Next up, once you say “go”, it launches a subagent-driven-development process, having agents work through each engineering task, inspecting and reviewing their work, and continuing forward. It’s not uncommon for Claude to be able to work autonomously for a couple hours at a time without deviating from the plan you put together.

There’s a bunch more to it, but that’s the core of the system. And because the skills trigger automatically, you don’t need to do anything special. Your coding agent just has Superpowers.

Sponsorship

If Superpowers has helped you do stuff that makes money and you are so inclined, I’d greatly appreciate it if you’d consider sponsoring my opensource work.

Thanks!

The Basic Workflow

  1. brainstorming - Activates before writing code. Refines rough ideas through questions, explores alternatives, presents design in sections for validation. Saves design document.

  2. using-git-worktrees - Activates after design approval. Creates isolated workspace on new branch, runs project setup, verifies clean test baseline.

  3. writing-plans - Activates with approved design. Breaks work into bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each). Every task has exact file paths, complete code, verification steps.

  4. subagent-driven-development or executing-plans - Activates with plan. Dispatches fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality), or executes in batches with human checkpoints.

  5. test-driven-development - Activates during implementation. Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR: write failing test, watch it fail, write minimal code, watch it pass, commit. Deletes code written before tests.

  6. requesting-code-review - Activates between tasks. Reviews against plan, reports issues by severity. Critical issues block progress.

  7. finishing-a-development-branch - Activates when tasks complete. Verifies tests, presents options (merge/PR/keep/discard), cleans up worktree.

The agent checks for relevant skills before any task. Mandatory workflows, not suggestions.

What’s Inside

Skills Library

Testing

  • test-driven-development - RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle (includes testing anti-patterns reference)

Debugging

  • systematic-debugging - 4-phase root cause process (includes root-cause-tracing, defense-in-depth, condition-based-waiting techniques)
  • verification-before-completion - Ensure it’s actually fixed

Collaboration

  • brainstorming - Socratic design refinement
  • writing-plans - Detailed implementation plans
  • executing-plans - Batch execution with checkpoints
  • dispatching-parallel-agents - Concurrent subagent workflows
  • requesting-code-review - Pre-review checklist
  • receiving-code-review - Responding to feedback
  • using-git-worktrees - Parallel development branches
  • finishing-a-development-branch - Merge/PR decision workflow
  • subagent-driven-development - Fast iteration with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality)

Meta

  • writing-skills - Create new skills following best practices (includes testing methodology)
  • using-superpowers - Introduction to the skills system

Philosophy

  • Test-Driven Development - Write tests first, always
  • Systematic over ad-hoc - Process over guessing
  • Complexity reduction - Simplicity as primary goal
  • Evidence over claims - Verify before declaring success

Contributing

The general contribution process for Superpowers is below. Keep in mind that we don’t generally accept contributions of new skills and that any updates to skills must work across all of the coding agents we support.

  1. Fork the repository
  2. Switch to the ‘dev’ branch
  3. Create a branch for your work
  4. Follow the writing-skills skill for creating and testing new and modified skills
  5. Submit a PR, being sure to fill in the pull request template.

See skills/writing-skills/SKILL.md for the complete guide.

Updating

Superpowers updates are somewhat coding-agent dependent, but are often automatic.
