What is claude-code-superpowers AGENTS.md?

A repository guide for Claude Code Superpowers, a collection of structured instruction files that teach AI coding assistants reusable engineering patterns. It explains the repository layout and how to add and validate a skill.

Use it when navigating the repository, creating a skill, updating its indexes, or running the required six-test validation process.

It gives contributors the project rules they need to keep new skills consistent and documented across the repository.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00987	$0.00987
Opus 5.5	$0.00395	$0.00395
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00197	$0.00197
Haiku 4.5	$0.00099	$0.00099

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-superpowers AGENTS.md 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 2mo 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.

Claude Code Superpowers — Repository Guide

This repository is a collection of engineering skills for AI coding assistants. Each skill is a structured markdown file that teaches a specific pattern — extracted from production source code, validated against real implementations, and tested against the six-test standard to ensure it's transferable beyond the source codebase.

Repository structure

skills/          — one subdirectory per skill, each containing SKILL.md
docs/            — REFERENCE.md: domain model, architecture overview, vocabulary
assets/          — banner.svg, banner-footer.svg
CLAUDE.md        — working guide for Claude Code agents
AGENTS.md        — this file: working guide for Codex/OpenAI agents
GEMINI.md        — skill includes for Gemini CLI
README.md        — user-facing introduction, AI-native format

Adding a new skill

Create skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md
Follow the skill structure in CONTRIBUTING.md exactly
Add a row to the skills table in README.md, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md
Add an @ include line to GEMINI.md
Run the six-test standard (see CONTRIBUTING.md) before committing

Naming: lowercase, hyphens only, verb-first where possible (creating-skills, error-handling, not skillCreation or ErrorHandling)

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full skill structure, section-by-section requirements, and the six-test standard. That file is the single source of truth for contribution rules.

Reference

docs/REFERENCE.md is the foundational context for this repo — domain model, architecture overview, and vocabulary. Read it before working on any skill.

What not to do

Do not add skills that only make sense if you are contributing to the source codebase
Do not use source-codebase-specific function names or file paths in the generic sections
Do not write code examples to illustrate a pattern — extract real code from the source
Do not update CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md with source-codebase-specific internal conventions

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.
