superpowers-overview
Use when starting any development work or when unsure which superpowers development skill to use - provides entry point and navigation to the full superpowers skill suite for OpenClaw agents
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/axelhu/superpowers-overviewWhat This Skill Does
The superpowers-overview skill serves as the primary gateway and documentation hub for the Superpowers development methodology within the OpenClaw AI agent ecosystem. It provides agents with an immediate reference to the full suite of structured engineering tools, ensuring that development work follows a logical, quality-focused progression rather than chaotic, ad-hoc coding. By integrating this overview, agents can navigate complex workflows—from brainstorming and planning to systematic TDD and final code verification—ensuring no critical steps are skipped during the lifecycle of a task.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw agent instance, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/axelhu/superpowers-overview
Use Cases
- Project Onboarding: When you are handed a new, large-scale feature request and need to determine the optimal workflow for planning and implementation.
- Agent Navigation: When the AI agent feels "lost" in the middle of a complex development task and needs to re-align with the standard Superpowers development cycle.
- Process Standardization: When a team requires a uniform approach to debugging, testing, and merging code across multiple agents.
- Workflow Auditing: Using this as a checklist to ensure that every stage—from brainstorming to verification—has been accounted for.
Example Prompts
- "I have a new feature to build for the authentication module. Please pull up the Superpowers overview and suggest which skills I should start with."
- "I am feeling stuck in the middle of this refactoring. Can you display the Superpowers development process and tell me where I currently am in the workflow?"
- "Summarize the Superpowers methodology for me and explain why TDD and verification are mandatory steps for our current sprint."
Tips & Limitations
- Mental Mapping: This skill does not perform active tasks; it is a navigational guide. Treat it as your 'dashboard' or 'control room' for all other development activities.
- Strict Sequencing: The Superpowers methodology thrives on the order of operations. Do not skip the 'Brainstorming' or 'Planning' phases, even for minor tasks, as this leads to technical debt.
- Evidence-Based: Remember the core principle that no task is 'complete' until evidence is provided. Use this overview to remind yourself to run verification commands before reporting back to the user.
- Context Awareness: While this tool provides the full scope, always ensure your agent is running in a proper workspace context to make the most of the sub-agent and parallel-agent execution features.
