# Claude Code

> Install Superpowers on Claude Code via the official plugin marketplace or the community marketplace.

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

## Installation

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Official Marketplace (recommended)">
    Superpowers is available in the [official Claude plugin marketplace](https://claude.com/plugins/superpowers).

    In Claude Code, run:

    ```bash theme={null}
    /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Community Marketplace">
    Register the community marketplace first, then install:

    ```bash theme={null}
    /plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
    ```

    ```bash theme={null}
    /plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Verify installation

Start a new session and ask for something that triggers a skill:

```text theme={null}
Help me plan this feature
```

or

```text theme={null}
Let's debug this issue
```

The agent should automatically invoke the relevant Superpowers skill. You can also ask directly:

```text theme={null}
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:

```text theme={null}
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

```bash theme={null}
/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 |

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