Scored daily by a customisable AI persona to surface the most relevant engineering leadership news.
Agentic skills framework and methodology, cutting-edge and practical
Superpowers is an open-source development methodology by Jesse (obra) for coding agents, built on composable skills that enforce TDD, YAGNI, and DRY. It implements a structured workflow: brainstorming to refine spec, design validation, then subagent-driven implementation with autonomous work for hours. The project integrates with harnesses like Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Cursor via plugin marketplaces.
Evaluate Superpowers as a methodology to embed disciplined software engineering practices into your AI coding agents to reduce drift and enforce TDD.
For a solutions architect focused on AI/ML agent orchestration and developer experience, Superpowers offers a structured, battle-tested methodology to improve LLM agent code quality and reliability, moving beyond simple prompt-based coding.
Superpowers Superpowers is a complete software development methodology for your coding agents, built on top of a set of composable skills and some initial instructions that make sure your agent uses them. Quickstart Give your agent Superpowers: Claude Code , Codex CLI , Codex App , Factory Droid , Gemini CLI , OpenCode , Cursor , GitHub Copilot CLI . How it works It starts from the moment you fire up your coding agent. As soon as it sees that you're building something, it doesn't just jump into trying to write code. Instead, it steps back and asks you what you're really trying to do.
