superpowers

A dispatcher that chooses the appropriate specialist workflow for a task from several collections of coding-agent skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route work to workflows for planning, test-driven development (writing tests before implementation), debugging, code review, verification, and Git tasks.
Why use it?
It helps apply the right development discipline instead of relying on the agent to remember every review, testing, debugging, and safety step.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

superpowers scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/superpowers

/superpowers is the dispatcher, not a peer skill. It does not do work itself; it routes each user task to the correct Law-aligned specialist so the right discipline fires automatically instead of the agent skipping a step.

The 7 Laws define what discipline must be applied. /superpowers decides which specialist enforces it for this specific task, across four sources installed from this marketplace.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

superpowers is a command published in the GitHub repository naimkatiman/continuous-improvement (7 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 2,974 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
