Root cause: Codex marketplace sources expect a .agents/plugins/marketplace.json at the marketplace root. The superpowers repo only had the Claude marketplace file and the Codex plugin manifest, so Codex could configure the marketplace name but found no installable plugin entries. Changes: add a repo-local Codex marketplace manifest for superpowers-dev that points at this same repository root via the same-root source pattern Codex already accepts; add a focused marketplace manifest test; remove the unsupported hooks field from .codex-plugin/plugin.json so the plugin validator accepts the manifest.

The script is Codex-specific dead code — nothing executes it on Codex or any other harness. - Delete hooks/session-start-codex. - tests/hooks/test-session-start.sh: drop the two Codex cases that are redundant with the generic session-start tests (nested-format and the legacy-warning omission are already covered by the Claude Code cases). Re-point the \"wrapper dispatches\" case to the live `session-start` script so run-hook.cmd dispatch coverage — used by Claude Code and Cursor in production — is preserved rather than lost. - docs/porting-to-a-new-harness.md: Codex is no longer a Shape A (shell-hook) harness, so re-anchor that worked example to Cursor (a live shell-hook harness that demonstrates the same per-harness field, schema, and matcher variance) and mark Codex as native skill discovery with no session-start hook. Clears the references to the deleted hooks-codex.json. - docs/windows/polyglot-hooks.md: the \"check hooks-codex.json\" pointer referenced a file deleted in #1845; re-point to hooks-cursor.json. RELEASE-NOTES.md keeps its historical mention of hooks-codex.json (it accurately records what that release did).

This creates visible terminal windows that steal focus on every SessionStart event (startup, resume, clear, compact). The fix: - Rename session-start.sh to session-start (no extension) so Claude Code's .sh auto-detection regex doesn't fire and prepend \"bash\" - Restore run-hook.cmd polyglot wrapper to control bash invocation on Windows (tries known Git Bash paths, then PATH, then exits silently if no bash found) - On Unix, the polyglot's shell portion runs the script directly This avoids Claude Code's broken .sh auto-prepend, gives us control over how bash is invoked on Windows, and gracefully handles missing bash instead of erroring.

[Permalink: We're Hiring!](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#were-hiring) We're hiring someone to help out full time with Superpowers community and code work. You can read about the job at [https://primeradiant.com/jobs/superpowers-community-engineer/](https://primeradiant.com/jobs/superpowers-community-engineer/) If this sounds like someone you know, definitely send them our way. ## Quickstart [Permalink: Quickstart](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#quickstart) Give your agent Superpowers: [Claude Code](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#claude-code), [Antigravity](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#antigravity), [Codex App](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#codex-app), [Codex CLI](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#codex-cli), [Cursor](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#cursor), [Factory Droid](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#factory-droid), [GitHub Copilot CLI](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#github-copilot-cli), [Kimi Code](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#kimi-code), [OpenCode](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#opencode), [Pi](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#pi). ## How it works [Permalink: How it works](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#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 [Permalink: Commercial Services](https://github.com/obra/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](mailto:sales@primeradiant.com). ## Installation [Permalink: Installation](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#installation) Installation differs by harness. If you use more than one, install Superpowers separately for each one. ### Claude Code [Permalink: Claude Code](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#claude-code) Superpowers is available via the [official Claude plugin marketplace](https://claude.com/plugins/superpowers) #### Official Marketplace [Permalink: Official Marketplace](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#official-marketplace) - Install the plugin from Anthropic's official marketplace: ``` /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official ``` #### Superpowers Marketplace [Permalink: Superpowers Marketplace](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#superpowers-marketplace) The Superpowers marketplace provides Superpowers and some other related plugins for Claude Code. - Register the marketplace: ``` /plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace ``` - Install the plugin from this marketplace: ``` /plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace ``` ### Antigravity [Permalink: Antigravity](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#antigravity) Install Superpowers as a plugin from this repository: ``` 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 [Permalink: Codex App](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#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 [Permalink: Codex CLI](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#codex-cli) Superpowers is available via the [official Codex plugin marketplace](https://github.com/openai/plugins). - Open the plugin search interface: ``` /plugins ``` - Search for Superpowers: ``` superpowers ``` - Select `Install Plugin`. ### Cursor [Permalink: Cursor](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#cursor) - In Cursor Agent chat, install from marketplace: ``` /add-plugin superpowers ``` - Or search for "superpowers" in the plugin marketplace. ### Factory Droid [Permalink: Factory Droid](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#factory-droid) - Register the marketplace: ``` droid plugin marketplace add https://github.com/obra/superpowers ``` - Install the plugin: ``` droid plugin install superpowers@superpowers ``` ### GitHub Copilot CLI [Permalink: GitHub Copilot CLI](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#github-copilot-cli) - Register the marketplace: ``` copilot plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace ``` - Install the plugin: ``` copilot plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace ``` ### Kimi Code [Permalink: Kimi Code](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#kimi-code) Superpowers is available in Kimi Code's plugin marketplace. - Open Kimi Code's plugin manager: ``` /plugins ``` - Go to `Marketplace` \> `Superpowers` and install it. - Or install directly from this repository: ``` /plugins install https://github.com/obra/superpowers ``` - Detailed docs: [docs/README.kimi.md](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/blob/main/docs/README.kimi.md) ### OpenCode [Permalink: OpenCode](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#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](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/blob/main/docs/README.opencode.md) ### Pi [Permalink: Pi](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#pi) Install Superpowers as a Pi package from this repository: ``` pi install git:github.com/obra/superpowers ``` For local development, run Pi with this checkout loaded as a temporary package: ``` 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. ## The Basic Workflow [Permalink: The Basic Workflow](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#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. Dispatches fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality), or executes in batches with human checkpoints. 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. ## What's Inside [Permalink: What's Inside](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#whats-inside) ### Skills Library [Permalink: Skills Library](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#skills-library) **Testing** - **test-driven-development** \- RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle (includes testing anti-patterns reference) **Debugging** - **systematic-debugging** \- 4-phase root cause process (includes root-cause-tracing, defense-in-depth, condition-based-waiting techniques) - **verification-before-completion** \- Ensure it's actually fixed **Collaboration** - **brainstorming** \- Socratic design refinement - **writing-plans** \- Detailed implementation plans - **executing-plans** \- Batch execution with checkpoints - **dispatching-parallel-agents** \- Concurrent subagent workflows - **requesting-code-review** \- Pre-review checklist - **receiving-code-review** \- Responding to feedback - **using-git-worktrees** \- Parallel development branches - **finishing-a-development-branch** \- Merge/PR decision workflow - **subagent-driven-development** \- Fast iteration with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality) **Meta** - **writing-skills** \- Create new skills following best practices (includes testing methodology) - **using-superpowers** \- Introduction to the skills system ## Philosophy [Permalink: Philosophy](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#philosophy) - **Test-Driven Development** \- Write tests first, always - **Systematic over ad-hoc** \- Process over guessing - **Complexity reduction** \- Simplicity as primary goal - **Evidence over claims** \- Verify before declaring success Read [the original release announcement](https://blog.fsck.com/2025/10/09/superpowers/). ## Contributing [Permalink: Contributing](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#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 [Permalink: Updating](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#updating) Superpowers updates are somewhat coding-agent dependent, but are often automatic. ## License [Permalink: License](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#license) MIT License - see LICENSE file for details ## Visual companion telemetry [Permalink: Visual companion telemetry](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#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. ## Community [Permalink: Community](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#community) Superpowers is built by [Jesse Vincent](https://blog.fsck.com/) and the rest of the folks at [Prime Radiant](https://primeradiant.com/). - **Discord**: [Join us](https://discord.gg/35wsABTejz) for community support, questions, and sharing what you're building with Superpowers - **Issues**: [https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues) - **Release announcements**: [Sign up](https://primeradiant.com/superpowers/) to get notified about new versions ## About An agentic skills framework & software development methodology that works. ### Topics [ai](https://github.com/topics/ai "Topic: ai") [skills](https://github.com/topics/skills "Topic: skills") [coding](https://github.com/topics/coding "Topic: coding") [superpowers](https://github.com/topics/superpowers "Topic: superpowers") [brainstorming](https://github.com/topics/brainstorming "Topic: brainstorming") [sdlc](https://github.com/topics/sdlc "Topic: sdlc") [obra](https://github.com/topics/obra "Topic: obra") [subagent-driven-development](https://github.com/topics/subagent-driven-development "Topic: subagent-driven-development") ### Resources [Readme](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#readme-ov-file) ### License [MIT license](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#MIT-1-ov-file) ### Code of conduct [Code of conduct](https://github.com/obra/superpowers#coc-ov-file) ### Uh oh!
