A developer shares how the Superpowers skill set for Claude Code has transformed their agentic coding workflow. The workflow centers on three stages: brainstorming with the agent to clarify requirements and build shared context, generating a human-readable Markdown plan, and executing that plan. The author argues that the real value isn't automation but the structured brainstorming that forces critical thinking before any code is written—mirroring good software development habits. Practical notes include hitting token limits on Claude Code Pro and upgrading to Max, plus a real-world example of using the workflow to organize Obsidian notes.
