Superpowers v6.4.2 发布:writing-plans 技能改为记录决策而非代码转录
obra/superpowers 发布 v6.4.2,重写 writing-plans 技能:计划只记录实现者所需的决策(函数签名、测试断言、规格中的取值),不再写出完整代码,以避免部分前沿模型(如 Opus 5.5)在写计划时越界直接实现整个项目。新增自审检查计划与规格的长度比例,并将步骤定义为“一个动作加可检查结果”。作者称复现原始报告后,临时构建消失,计划耗时约为原来的四分之一、token 约为三分之一;新技能生成的计划在 Sonnet 5 上对植入缺陷探针达到 9/9,与全代码计划相同。同时移除未被引用的 plan-document-reviewer-prompt.md 和 CLAUDE.md。
AI推荐理由 官方 release notes,信息密度高且含可验证的量化结果(计划耗时降至约四分之一、token 约三分之一,Sonnet 5 上 9/9 通过植入缺陷探针)。新信息是 writing-plans 技能改为记录决策而非代码转录,并新增自审比例检查;局限是这些数据来自作者自述的复现,未提供独立评测,且 Opus 5.5 等模型名与时间线需读者自行核实。

Official release notes (https://github.com/obra/superpowers/releases/tag/v6.4.2)
`writing-plans` produces leaner plans, faster. Plans now record the decisions an implementer needs (signatures, test assertions, the spec's values) instead of writing out the code. Some frontier models, including Opus 5.5, could get overzealous during plan writing and, with certain prompting, would sometimes try to implement the entire project while designing the plan. The new skill keeps planning focused on the plan. When we reproduced the original report, the scratch builds went away, and plans took a quarter of the time and about a third of the tokens. Thanks to Harper Reed for the report and session bundle. (#2333)
### Writing Plans
- **A plan records decisions. It's not a transcript of the code.** "What a Step Contains" replaces the "No Placeholders" section. A test step names the test and its assertions. A code step gives the exact signature, the file, and the spec's values, and includes a body only for an algorithm those don't determine. A verification step gives the command and its passing output. A reference to another task goes through that task's Interfaces block. Placeholders are still called out as the opposite failure. (#2333)
- **Self-review checks proportion.** The plan compares its own length to the spec's. A plan several times longer than the spec is a transcript, and when code blocks dominate, bodies get replaced with signatures and test assertions. (#2333)
- **The plan's reader is described as capable:** an engineer who writes idiomatic code once they know the exact interface and test. This replaces "zero context, questionable taste." Steps are now sized as "one action with a checkable result" instead of "2-5 minutes." (#2333)
- Every plan written by the new skill executed 9/9 against planted-defect probes on Sonnet 5, the same result as full-code plans. (#2333)
- Removed `plan-document-reviewer-prompt.md`. Nothing referenced it. (#2333)
### Documentation
- Removed `CLAUDE.md`. Claude Code now reads `AGENTS.md` directly, but only when no `CLAUDE.md` exists, so keeping the one-line pointer would have hidden the real guidelines.

## 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.
Once it's teased a spec out of the conversation, it shows it to you in chunks short enough to actually read and digest.
After you've signed off on the design, your agent puts together an implementation plan that's clear enough for an enthusiastic junior engineer with poor taste, no judgement, no project context, and an aversion to testing to follow. It emphasizes true red/green TDD, YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), and DRY.
Next up, once you say "go", it launches a *subagent-driven-development* process, having agents work through each engineering task, inspecting and reviewing their work, and continuing forward. It's not uncommon for your agent to work autonomously for a couple hours at a time without deviating from the plan you put together.
There's a bunch more to it, but that's the core of the system. And because the skills trigger automatically, you don't need to do anything special. Your coding agent just has Superpowers.
## Commercial Services
If you're using Superpowers in enterprise and could benefit from commercial support, additional tooling, or managed spending, please don't hesitate to drop us a line at sales@primeradiant.com.
## Installation
Installation differs by harness. If you use more than one, install Superpowers separately for each one.
### Claude Code
Superpowers is available via the [official Claude plugin marketplace](https://claude.com/plugins/superpowers)
#### Official Marketplace
- Install the plugin from Anthropic's official marketplace:
```bash
/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official
```
#### Superpowers Marketplace
The Superpowers marketplace provides Superpowers and some other related plugins for Claude Code.
- Register the marketplace:
```bash
/plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
```
- Install the plugin from this marketplace:
```bash
/plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
```
### Antigravity
Install Superpowers as a plugin from this repository:
```bash
agy plugin install https://github.com/obra/superpowers
```
Antigravity runs the plugin's session-start hook, so Superpowers is active from
the first message. Reinstall with the same command to update.
### Codex App
Superpowers is available via the [official Codex plugin marketplace](https://github.com/openai/plugins).
- In the Codex app, click on Plugins in the sidebar.
- You should see `Superpowers` in the Coding section.
- Click the `+` next to Superpowers and follow the prompts.
### Codex CLI
Superpowers is available via the [official Codex plugin marketplace](https://github.com/openai/plugins).
- Open the plugin search interface:
```bash
/plugins
```
- Search for Superpowers:
```bash
superpowers
```
- Select `Install Plugin`.
### Cursor
- In Cursor Agent chat, install from marketplace:
```text
/add-plugin superpowers
```
- Or search for "superpowers" in the plugin marketplace.
### Devin CLI
- Install the plugin from this repository:
```bash
devin plugins install obra/superpowers
```
- Update to the latest version with:
```bash
devin plugins update superpowers
```
### Factory Droid
- Register the marketplace:
```bash
droid plugin marketplace add https://github.com/obra/superpowers
```
- Install the plugin:
```bash
droid plugin install superpowers@superpowers
```
### Gemini CLI
- Install the extension:
```bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/obra/superpowers
```
- Update later:
```bash
gemini extensions update superpowers
```
### GitHub Copilot CLI
- Register the marketplace:
```bash
copilot plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
```
- Install the plugin:
```bash
copilot plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
```
### Grok Build CLI
Superpowers is available via the [official Grok plugin marketplace](https://github.com/xai-org/plugin-marketplace).
- Install the plugin from xAI's official marketplace:
```bash
grok plugin install superpowers@xai-official --trust
```
- Or open the marketplace in the TUI, search for Superpowers, and install it:
```text
/marketplace
```
### Kimi Code
Superpowers is available in Kimi Code's plugin marketplace.
- Open Kimi Code's plugin manager:
```text
/plugins
```
- Go to `Marketplace` > `Superpowers` and install it.
- Or install directly from this repository:
```text
/plugins install https://github.com/obra/superpowers
```
- Detailed docs: [docs/README.kimi.md](docs/README.kimi.md)
### OpenCode
OpenCode uses its own plugin install; install Superpowers separately even if you
already use it in another harness.
- Tell OpenCode:
```
Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/refs/heads/main/.opencode/INSTALL.md
```
- Detailed docs: [docs/README.opencode.md](docs/README.opencode.md)
### Pi
Install Superpowers as a Pi package from this repository:
```bash
pi install git:github.com/obra/superpowers
```
For local development, run Pi with this checkout loaded as a temporary package:
```bash
pi -e /path/to/superpowers
```
The Pi package loads the Superpowers skills and a small extension that injects the `using-superpowers` bootstrap at session startup and again after compaction. Pi has native skills, so no compatibility `Skill` tool is required. Subagent and task-list tools remain optional Pi companion packages.
### Qwen Code
Qwen Code installs plugins from Claude Code marketplaces directly.
- Install the plugin from this repository, and pick `superpowers` when prompted:
```bash
qwen extensions install obra/superpowers
```
- Update later:
```bash
qwen extensions update superpowers
```
### Hermes Agent
Install Superpowers as a Hermes plugin from this repository:
```bash
hermes plugins install obra/superpowers --enable
```
Restart any active Hermes sessions after installing. Note: Hermes has no
post-compaction hook, so a very long session that compacts over its first
turn loses the bootstrap — start a fresh session if skills stop triggering.
### Muse
Superpowers is available as a native Muse plugin — same repo, same skills, all harnesses. The `using-superpowers` bootstrap is injected via the native `SessionStart` hook alongside Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Pi, and the rest — no per-session opt-in.
- Install from a local checkout:
```bash
muse plugins install ./
muse plugins approve superpowers
```
Or clone and install:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git
muse plugins install ./superpowers
muse plugins approve superpowers
```
- Update later:
```bash
muse plugins update superpowers
```
Restart any active Muse sessions after installing so the `SessionStart` hook takes effect — skills are active immediately, hooks require approval on first install. To verify, start a fresh session and send `Let's make a react todo list` — a working install auto-triggers `brainstorming` before any code is written. Version is tracked in `.version-bump.json` so `scripts/bump-version.sh` keeps it in sync.
## The Basic Workflow
1. **brainstorming** - Activates before writing code. Refines rough ideas through questions, explores alternatives, presents design in sections for validation. Saves design document.
2. **using-git-worktrees** - Activates after design approval. Creates isolated workspace on new branch, runs project setup, verifies clean test baseline.
3. **writing-plans** - Activates with approved design. Breaks work into bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each). Every task has exact file paths, complete code, verification steps.
4. **subagent-driven-development** or **executing-plans** - Activates with plan. Either dispatches a fresh subagent per task with a review after each (most thorough), or implements every task inline in the current session with one fresh review of the whole branch at the end (cheapest).
5. **test-driven-development** - Activates during implementation. Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR: write failing test, watch it fail, write minimal code, watch it pass, commit. Deletes code written before tests.
6. **requesting-code-review** - Activates between tasks. Reviews against plan, reports issues by severity. Critical issues block progress.
7. **finishing-a-development-branch** - Activates when tasks complete. Verifies tests, presents options (merge/PR/keep/discard), cleans up worktree.
**The agent checks for relevant skills before any task.** Mandatory workflows, not suggestions.
## When Something Goes Wrong
Sometimes a session misbehaves: a skill fires when it shouldn't, stays silent when it should, or the agent ignores its plan, repeats work, or burns more tokens than you'd expect. Ask your coding agent to "figure out what went wrong with superpowers in this session" and it will invoke the **diagnosing-superpowers** skill. To examine an earlier session, name it: "figure out what went wrong with superpowers in session ``".
The skill reads the session transcript, reports what happened with line-level evidence, and, if you want, packages a scrubbed bundle for a bug report.

## Contributing
The general contribution process for Superpowers is below. Keep in mind that we don't generally accept contributions of new skills and that any updates to skills must work across all of the coding agents we support.
1. Fork the repository
2. Switch to the 'dev' branch
3. Create a branch for your work
4. Follow the `writing-skills` skill for creating and testing new and modified skills
5. Submit a PR, being sure to fill in the pull request template.
Skill-behavior tests use the drill eval harness from [superpowers-evals](https://github.com/prime-radiant-inc/superpowers-evals/), cloned into `evals/` — see `evals/README.md` for setup. Plugin-infrastructure tests live at `tests/` and run via the relevant `run-*.sh` or `npm test`.
See `skills/writing-skills/SKILL.md` for the complete guide.
## Updating
Superpowers updates are somewhat coding-agent dependent, but are often automatic.

## Visual companion telemetry
Because skills and plugins don't provide any feedback to creators, we have no idea how many of you are using Superpowers. By default, the Prime Radiant logo on brainstorming's optional visual companion feature is loaded from our website. It includes the version of Superpowers in use. It does not include any details about your project, prompt, or coding agent. We don't see your clicks or anything about what you're building. This helps us have a rough idea of how many folks are using Superpowers and which version of Superpowers they're using. It's 100% optional. To disable this, set the environment variable `SUPERPOWERS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY` to any true value. Superpowers also honors Claude Code's `DISABLE_TELEMETRY` and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC` opt-outs.
