Superpowers - Agent Development Workflows Comprehensive agent development skill collection optimized for AI-assisted coding workflows. Contains 14 skills across 5 categories, prioritized by workflow stage to guide development from ideation to completion. When to Apply Reference these skills when: Starting a new feature or project (brainstorming, writing-plans) Debugging any issue (systematic-debugging) Writing or modifying code (test-driven-development) Managing branches and isolation (using-git-worktrees) Completing and integrating work (finishing-a-development-branch) Receiving or requesting code review (receiving-code-review, requesting-code-review) Skill Categories by Workflow Stage Stage Category Skills Priority 1 Ideation & Planning brainstorming , writing-plans CRITICAL 2 Implementation test-driven-development , subagent-driven-development , executing-plans CRITICAL 3 Debugging systematic-debugging HIGH 4 Code Review requesting-code-review , receiving-code-review HIGH 5 Completion verification-before-completion , finishing-a-development-branch HIGH 6 Utilities using-git-worktrees , dispatching-parallel-agents , using-superpowers , writing-skills MEDIUM Quick Reference 1. Ideation & Planning (CRITICAL) brainstorming - Collaborative design exploration before implementation writing-plans - Create detailed implementation plans with bite-sized tasks 2. Implementation (CRITICAL) test-driven-development - RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle for all code subagent-driven-development - Execute plans with fresh subagent per task executing-plans - Batch execution with checkpoints in separate session 3. Debugging (HIGH) systematic-debugging - Four-phase root cause investigation before fixes 4. Code Review (HIGH) requesting-code-review - Dispatch code reviewer subagent after implementation receiving-code-review - Technical evaluation, not performative agreement 5. Completion (HIGH) verification-before-completion - Evidence before claims, always finishing-a-development-branch - Merge, PR, keep, or discard options 6. Utilities (MEDIUM) using-git-worktrees - Isolated workspaces for parallel development dispatching-parallel-agents - One agent per independent problem domain using-superpowers - How to find and invoke skills writing-skills - TDD applied to process documentation Core Principles Each skill enforces key discipline principles: Principle Skills Iron Law Test First test-driven-development No production code without failing test Root Cause First systematic-debugging No fixes without investigation Evidence First verification-before-completion No claims without verification Plan First brainstorming , writing-plans No code without design How to Use Read individual skill files for detailed instructions: brainstorming/SKILL.md test-driven-development/SKILL.md systematic-debugging/SKILL.md Each skill file contains: Overview and core principle When to use (and when NOT to) Step-by-step process Common mistakes and red flags Integration with other skills Full Compiled Document For the complete guide with all skills expanded: AGENTS.md
