## Why Included

obra's skills framework encodes a full dev methodology for coding agents — brainstorm, plan, TDD, subagent dispatch, review — as composable skills that install into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others.

## Source Summary

**The gist** Superpowers packages a development methodology as composable agent skills: a seven-stage flow from **brainstorming** through **git-worktree isolation**, planning into **2–5 minute tasks**, test-driven development, subagent dispatch, and code review. Installers exist for **Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot CLI**, OpenCode, and more.

## Practical Implication

**Why it matters** If your agent sessions drift — skipped tests, vague plans, unverified done-claims — this is a ready-made process layer: it enforces **red-green-refactor**, verification before completion, and isolated worktrees so parallel agents do not collide. Cherry-picking single skills like **systematic-debugging** works too.

**Watch out** It is opinionated: mandatory **TDD** and small-task planning add real overhead on quick edits, and an optional **telemetry** ping is on by default (disable with **SUPERPOWERS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY**). Adopt the pieces that fit your workflow rather than the whole ceremony at once.
