Superpowers by obra: What It Is and How to Use It to Improve AI Coding

Superpowers by obra is an open-source MIT-licensed repository that packages reusable 'skills' for AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI. Rather than being a new model, it acts as a workflow layer that enforces good engineering habits — planning, test-driven development, isolated git worktrees, code review, and structured branch finishing — as default agent behavior. The seven-stage workflow covers brainstorming, worktree setup, planning, execution, TDD, code review, and branch completion. Installation is low-friction for each supported tool, and the project is extensible via fork and pull request. It suits solo developers and teams wanting consistent, disciplined AI coding practices across multiple agent surfaces.
