Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation. /brainstorming by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/brainstorming) - [ **/dispatching-parallel-agents**266k Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies /dispatching-parallel-agents by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/dispatching-parallel-agents) - [ **/executing-plans**266k Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints /executing-plans by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/executing-plans) - [ **/finishing-a-development-branch**266k Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work /finishing-a-development-branch by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/finishing-a-development-branch) - [ **/receiving-code-review**266k Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation /receiving-code-review by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/receiving-code-review) - [ **/requesting-code-review**266k Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements /requesting-code-review by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/requesting-code-review) - [ **/subagent-driven-development**266k Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session /subagent-driven-development by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/subagent-driven-development) - [ **/systematic-debugging**266k Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes /systematic-debugging by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/systematic-debugging) - [ **/test-driven-development**266k Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code /test-driven-development by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/test-driven-development) - [ **/using-git-worktrees**266k Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback /using-git-worktrees by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/using-git-worktrees) - [ **/using-superpowers**266k Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring skill invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions /using-superpowers by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/using-superpowers) - [ **/verification-before-completion**266k Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always /verification-before-completion by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/verification-before-completion) - [ **/writing-plans**266k Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code /writing-plans by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/writing-plans) - [ **/writing-skills**266k Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment /writing-skills by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers/writing-skills) ### [obra/superpowers-lab](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers-lab) Experimental skills for Claude Code Superpowers - new techniques and tools 4 skills 405 `npx -y skilld add gh:obra/superpowers-lab` - [ **/finding-duplicate-functions**405 Use when auditing a codebase for semantic duplication - functions that do the same thing but have different names or implementations. Especially useful for LLM-generated codebases where new functions are often created rather than reusing existing ones. /finding-duplicate-functions by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers-lab/finding-duplicate-functions) - [ **/mcp-cli**405 Use MCP servers on-demand via the mcp CLI tool - discover tools, resources, and prompts without polluting context with pre-loaded MCP integrations /mcp-cli by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers-lab/mcp-cli) - [ **/using-tmux-for-interactive-commands**405 Use when you need to run interactive CLI tools (vim, git rebase -i, Python REPL, etc.) that require real-time input/output - provides tmux-based approach for controlling interactive sessions through detached sessions and send-keys /using-tmux-for-interactive-commands by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers-lab/using-tmux-for-interactive-commands) - [ **/windows-vm**405 Create, manage, or connect to a headless Windows 11 VM running in Docker with SSH access. Use when the user wants to spin up, stop, restart, or SSH into a Windows VM. /windows-vm by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers-lab/windows-vm) ### [obra/superpowers-skills](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers-skills) Community-editable skills for Claude Code's superpowers plugin 2 skills 736 `npx -y skilld add gh:obra/superpowers-skills` - [ **/brainstorming**736 Interactive idea refinement using Socratic method to develop fully-formed designs /brainstorming by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers-skills/brainstorming) - [ **/dispatching-parallel-agents**736 Use multiple Claude agents to investigate and fix independent problems concurrently /dispatching-parallel-agents by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/superpowers-skills/dispatching-parallel-agents) ### [obra/the-elements-of-style](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/the-elements-of-style) William Strunk Jr.'s Elements of Style (1918) in markdown format for AI agents 1 skill 457 `npx -y skilld add gh:obra/the-elements-of-style` - [ **/writing-clearly-and-concisely**457 Apply Strunk's timeless writing rules to ANY prose humans will read—documentation, commit messages, error messages, explanations, reports, or UI text. Makes your writing clearer, stronger, and more professional. /writing-clearly-and-concisely by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/the-elements-of-style/writing-clearly-and-concisely) ### [obra/clank](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/clank) 1 skill 41 `npx -y skilld add gh:obra/clank` - [ **/remembering-conversations**41 Search previous Claude Code conversations for facts, patterns, decisions, and context using semantic or text search /remembering-conversations by obra](https://skilld.dev/gh/obra/clank/remembering-conversations) Curated skills from @obra.
