Superpowers integrates with Claude Code through its plugin system. Skills load automatically via Claude Code’s native Skill tool.

Installation

​
Verify installation

Start a new session and ask for something that triggers a skill: 
Help me plan this feature
or 
Let's debug this issue
The agent should automatically invoke the relevant Superpowers skill. You can also ask directly: 
Tell me about your superpowers

​
How skills work in Claude Code

Claude Code exposes a Skill tool that loads skill content on demand. The using-superpowers skill is loaded at session start and enforces the rule that agents must check for a relevant skill before taking any action. When a skill applies, the agent announces it: 
I'm using the brainstorming skill to refine your idea before writing any code.
Skills are mandatory workflows, not suggestions. If there is even a 1% chance a skill applies, the agent must invoke it.

Updating

/plugin update superpowers
Skills update automatically when you update the plugin.

​
Tool reference

Skills in Superpowers are written using Claude Code tool names. All tools work natively:
ToolPurpose
SkillLoad a skill by name
TodoWriteTrack task checklists
TaskDispatch subagents
Subagent workflows (like subagent-driven-development) dispatch fresh Task subagents per task. This works natively in Claude Code.
