superpowers-openspec-superpowers-workflow

superpowers-openspec-superpowers-workflow is a skill for Codex from SYZ-Coder/superpowers-openspec-team-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,673 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinated workflow that explores a change, records it in OpenSpec, implements and tests it, then archives the completed record. OpenSpec is a structured set of documents for proposals, designs, requirements, and tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a team explicitly wants Superpowers exploration followed by OpenSpec planning and then implementation, testing, verification, and archiving.
Why use it?
It keeps exploration, decision-making, implementation, and verification connected so work is less likely to drift from the agreed change.

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-openspec-superpowers-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 -> OpenSpec -> Superpowers Workflow

Overview

Use this skill when the team wants a delivery path that feels calm, deliberate, and hard to derail:

  1. Explore with Superpowers
  2. Lock the change with OpenSpec
  3. Return to Superpowers for implementation, testing, and verification
  4. Archive the completed OpenSpec change

This skill is an orchestrator. It should delegate detail work to the existing workflow skills instead of duplicating them.

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.

If .superpowers-memory/ exists in the repository, 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 newest session journal entries at the start, then update the relevant files before final archive so the next session can resume with real context.

Required Order

  1. Start with $superpowers-feature-workflow. Use it to clarify scope, compare approaches, confirm the solution shape, and capture the design draft.
  2. Move to $openspec-feature-workflow. Use it to create the change and complete proposal.md, design.md, specs/.../spec.md, and tasks.md.
  3. Present the generated OpenSpec task checklist to the user.
  4. By default, wait for explicit confirmation before implementation planning starts.
  5. After the user confirms tasks.md, pause once more and ask whether to continue execution development. Accept continue-dev as the primary continuation command.
  6. Do not route the confirmed task handoff through OpenSpec apply.
  7. If the user chooses execution development, return to $superpowers-feature-workflow. Use it to write the implementation plan, prefer a worktree, execute with TDD, and run fresh verification.
  8. After execution development completes, pause again and ask whether to continue code review. Accept continue-review as the primary continuation command.
  9. If implementation and specs are aligned after verification, use $openspec-archive-change to archive the completed change. Before that final step, you may pause and ask whether to continue archive. Accept continue-archive as the primary continuation command, or continue to use $openspec-archive-change.
  10. If .superpowers-memory/ exists, perform a memory alignment check after verification and archive decisions: ensure durable facts, current state, decisions, failure patterns, and session outcome are reflected in the right files.
  11. Prefer scripts/run-superpowers-memory-closeout.ps1 when you want one command to review the checklist, get update suggestions, and optionally run validation after execution or archive work.
  12. Use scripts/suggest-superpowers-memory-updates.ps1 if it is still unclear which memory surfaces should be updated after implementation, verification, or archive work.
  13. When memory quality matters for the project, 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.
