(Not a Claude user) What is "superpowers"?

That initially looked pretty interesting but a quick peek through issues and folks are complaining that it’s opinionated on git workflows and overriding user instructions otherwise. No thanks.

Edit: a deeper look at the issues and there are many examples of it not behaving as intended. Seems superstitious at best.

Didn’t know what Superpowers was until this thread. Found this blog [0] describing how amazing Fable was at enhancing Superpowers.

Definitely not superstitious. It's just an opinionated workflow, you can see the steps further down in the repository.

It's just spottily enforced because it's just written to the context in markdown - it's basically one of the very first attempts from the very beginning of Claude code.

But superstitious would mean it's just in your head, essentially - but this has an effect. It does create questionairs, documents every decision and plan etc. Wherever you want that is up to you, I personally didn't... But it's also definitely very much causing an big difference in behavior from Claude Code

Some people just need to complicate things as a state of their natural being. What a tremendous waste of time.

That's funny, cause I'd argue superpowers barely does anything, and you need a much more complex setup to gain value.

I find it very useful. What do you use that’s better?

It's great for feature development. It queries you about you intentions, creates a spec for you to review and modify, creates a plan for it to follow, then farms out the work to subagents.

Crap on it all you want, but it makes LLM work predictable.

It does not make LLM work predictable. Try it on the same type of project twice and see. You think you're saving time but youd accomplish similar results with 2 or 3 skills.

In the three years I've been vibe coding, it's the only way I've found to consistently and reliably build complex apps. How do you do it?

Exactly. It really is such a ridiculous waste of time
