Agentic skills framework and software development methodology for Claude Code. 30K stars, 2K forks, 13 contributors, 64 open issues.

Key Features (from video)

  • Code Review — automated code review as a skill
  • Security Guidance — installable via claude /install anthropics/security-guidance. Scans for: command injection, eval()/new Function(), XSS vectors, unsafe deserialization, os.system() injection, path traversal, SQL injection, hardcoded secrets
  • Full dev cycle: planning, subagents, TDD, code review

Status

Previously evaluated 2026-04-08 and skipped — 22K tokens at startup (11% of context), forces full brainstorm-TDD cycle on every task regardless of size. A custom /implement-spec skill covers the core value without the overhead.

New signal: The security-guidance plugin is a standalone install separate from the full superpowers framework. Worth installing independently for projects where code handles real operations data.

Action

  • Install anthropics/security-guidance standalone — test on current projects
  • Re-evaluate superpowers if context window increases or token cost drops
