I personally don't like superpowers very much. My boss does. I think Claude makes more mistakes when using superpowers than when not.

but maybe it's my fault.

I recommend trying. it doesn't hurt. Just don't believe it's a silver bullet. It's still the same Claude.

The way I use Claude is quite similar to what super powers does under the hood anyways. Like I always ask things like this: "if I want to do X, what questions do you need to ask me to have all the information you need to make it happen"

I bake my own bread and solo code, both episodic. No matter how I vary fresh starts, I always end up in the same place. The optimization problem feels to be a giant bowl.

This reminds me of named flavors of management style for teams of programmers. A friend in this role instead prefers deep dives into Apollo flight control, and abstracting.

As a solo programmer I always converge on staying extraordinarily involved in planning and code review, and working in steps of finer granularity than superpowers suggests. One may produce less code this way, but it's the only way I know to discover one needs less code.
