Planning, debugging and testing workflows
This page provides source information and editorial guidance. Recommendations and source trust labels do not mean every skill has passed human testing. The curated registry uses a separate qualification process for each version. Read the qualification standard
Overview
Superpowers is obra’s open-source agentic skills framework and development methodology. It organizes capabilities around planning, execution, debugging and testing. It is relevant to teams connecting several development steps into an inspectable process or studying how skills can be composed.
Best for
- Teams bringing planning, debugging and testing into a shared development process.
- Developers willing to read the framework’s rules and adapt them to a project.
Use cases
- Coding & development
- Planning & long tasks
- Security & review
SkillFlux notes
Start with a change covered by existing tests and inspect the output of each step from planning to verification. The process should serve the project’s acceptance criteria. Explain adjustments where a step does not fit; completing a process is not proof that the feature works.
Installation and use
Open the original repository and read its README, the selected skill instructions and any linked scripts. Check installation paths, host requirements, dependencies and licenses, then follow the project documentation to verify a small task in a workspace you can restore.
Limitations
- Framework rules may overlap with project conventions and need to be reconciled before adoption.
- Testing and review instructions are not themselves test results or security conclusions.
Alternatives
- OthmanAdi/planning-with-files
Compare planning-with-files when preserving long-task state is the primary concern.
