Superpowers is available on the official Claude plugin marketplace. Run this command in Claude Code:/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official
If you prefer to install from the community marketplace, register it first, then install Superpowers:Register the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
