obra / superpowers Agentic skills framework
01
Method

A framework is easy.
A methodology
is the hard part.

superpowers is an agentic skills framework and a software development methodology that works. The skills are the delivery mechanism. The method is the thing being delivered.

Most agent tooling ships capability and leaves the process to the operator. This project ships both and says so in one sentence.

A framework alone

  • 03Gets rebuilt from memory each session

A methodology

  • 01Says which thing to do next, and why
  • 02Survives the operator changing
  • 03Can be judged by whether it worked
