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

Installation

Official Marketplace (recommended)

Superpowers is available in the official Claude plugin marketplace.

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official

Community Marketplace

Register the community marketplace first, then install:

/plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace

/plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace

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:

Tool	Purpose
Skill	Load a skill by name
TodoWrite	Track task checklists
Task	Dispatch subagents

Subagent workflows (like subagent-driven-development) dispatch fresh Task subagents per task. This works natively in Claude Code.
