superpowers-custom

A fork of obra/superpowers (v6.0.3 base), packaged as a standalone Claude Code plugin. It is a drop-in replacement for the official superpowers plugin — you install this and disable the official one, so there is never a duplicate or a conflicting copy of any skill.

What's different from upstream

• Subagents do not commit, the orhestrator agent commits each task after its review passes and a file-collision check. Per-task review uses git tree snapshots (scripts/snapshot + review-package reworked to diff tree-ish, with -- <paths> to scope one task of a parallel batch).
• Parallel subagents: orchestrator crafts plan with parallelisation in mind, using a DAG to track task collisions and dependencies, and prevent inter-subagent file write race conditions.
• Tiny token usage: Sonnet implementers for step-based plans; escalate to the most-capable "advisor" model only when the plan itself is defective.
• GitHub centric PR workflow: PR body built from the repo's PR template and passed via --body-file; CI monitoring + Copilot comments + Code-Quality comments resolution.
• GitHub centric issue and branching workflow: Use GH issues to store specs and manage branches.

Everything else tracks upstream. Skills are namespaced superpowers-custom: (e.g. superpowers-custom:subagent-driven-development).

Install (Claude Code)

/plugin marketplace add stanlrt/superpowers-custom
/plugin install superpowers-custom@superpowers-custom

Then disable the official superpowers plugin if you had installed it before, so only the custom one is active (otherwise both load and the model sees two copies of every skill):

• /plugin → manage → disable superpowers@claude-plugins-official

Verify: open a new session and check the skill listing shows superpowers-custom:subagent-driven-development and not superpowers:….

The official and the fork cannot both be enabled — they provide the same skill set under different namespaces. Pick one. To go back, re-enable the official plugin and disable this.

Updating the fork from upstream

git remote add upstream https://github.com/obra/superpowers   # once
git fetch upstream --tags
git merge upstream/main        # or a specific tag, e.g. v6.1.0
# resolve conflicts (only in the 3 custom skills), then bump version in
# .claude-plugin/plugin.json + marketplace.json, commit, push

See CLAUDE.md for conflict-resolution rules.
