Superpowers

Use this skill when the user wants a disciplined software-delivery workflow, not just a code patch.

Pipeline

Idea -> Brainstorm -> Plan -> Subagent-Driven Build -> Review -> Finish Branch

Treat this as mandatory workflow, not optional advice.

Phase routing

• references/brainstorming.md Use before coding to explore context, ask clarifying questions, compare approaches, and produce a design.
• references/writing-plans.md Use after design approval to turn the design into small executable tasks.
• references/subagent-development.md Use when executing the plan with sessions_spawn, TDD, and staged review.
• references/systematic-debugging.md Use for failures, regressions, or any technical issue; no fixes before root-cause work.
• references/tdd.md Use whenever a task is implemented.
• references/finishing-branch.md Use when all tasks are done and the branch is ready to merge, push, keep, or discard.

Hard rules

• No code before design approval.
• TDD is mandatory.
• One clarifying question at a time during brainstorming.
• Prefer evidence over claims; verify before declaring success.
• Keep changes minimal and commit after green checkpoints.

Subagent dispatch

When using sessions_spawn, always include:

• goal
• plan/context
• exact files
• constraints
• verification command
• the task text itself
