superpowers-feature-workflow

superpowers-feature-workflow is a skill for Codex from SYZ-Coder/superpowers-openspec-team-skills. It costs 64 tokens per session (736 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A staged workflow for feature development, covering idea clarification, design approval, planning, separate workspaces, test-driven development (writing a failing test before the code), and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want to brainstorm before coding, approve a design, create an implementation plan, work in a separate worktree, build with TDD, and verify the result.
Why use it?
It prevents coding from starting with unclear requirements or an unreviewed design. It also keeps implementation steps and checks recorded in 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

superpowers-feature-workflow 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 9d 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.

Superpowers Feature Workflow

Overview

Use this skill for the Superpowers half of feature delivery. It covers clarification, design, plan, worktree, TDD, verification, and repo-persisted memory, but it does not manage OpenSpec artifacts.

This is an explicit opt-in workflow. Do not use it by default. Only use it when the user explicitly asks for this workflow, names this skill, or a repository policy explicitly requires it.

Workflow

  1. Explore project context before proposing solutions. If .superpowers-memory/ exists, read PROJECT_CONTEXT.md, CURRENT_STATE.md, DECISIONS.md, KNOWN_FAILURES.md, VERIFICATION_BASELINE.md, TEAM_PREFERENCES.md, USER_PROFILE.md, AGENT_NOTES.md, and the latest session journal entries first.
  2. Clarify requirements one question at a time.
  3. Present 2-3 approaches with a recommendation.
  4. Write the approved design to docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md.
  5. Ask for user confirmation on the written design before moving on.
  6. Write the implementation plan to docs/superpowers/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md.
  7. Prefer a repo-local worktree for implementation.
  8. Implement with TDD: failing test first, then minimal code, then green.
  9. Run fresh verification commands before any completion claim.
  10. Before finishing the session, run a short memory closeout check: durable facts changed, current state changed, important decisions added, failure patterns discovered, verification rules changed, and reusable lessons identified.
  11. Prefer scripts/run-superpowers-memory-closeout.ps1 when you want one command to review the checklist, get update suggestions, and optionally run validation.
  12. Use scripts/suggest-superpowers-memory-updates.ps1 when the right memory surface is still unclear after implementation or verification.
  13. When the repo uses Superpowers memory, update the relevant memory files, including .superpowers-memory/CURRENT_STATE.md and a short session note under .superpowers-memory/session-journal/.
  14. When memory quality matters for the task, run scripts/validate-superpowers-memory.ps1 before the final completion claim.

Changes

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.
