What it is
obra/superpowers is an agentic skills framework and software development methodology for coding agents. The project description says it is a framework and methodology “that works.” The README preview describes it as a complete methodology built on composable skills and initial instructions intended to ensure an agent uses those skills.
Capabilities explicitly described
The supplied materials identify composable skills and initial agent instructions as the foundation. They also point to a Codex app flow: register the marketplace, find Superpowers in the Plugins sidebar under Coding, select the plus button and follow the prompts. The preview also mentions opening the plugin search interface, but does not explain what to do there.
Getting started
For the full setup sequence, consult the project README. The available preview gives only a brief outline of the Codex app steps, so it does not establish every detail needed to complete setup.
