Who it is for
Engineers who want an agent to follow a repeatable development process rather than improvise each task.
Overview
What Superpowers does
Superpowers is a set of skills by Jesse Vincent that shapes how a coding agent moves through a piece of work. The stages run from brainstorming an idea, through implementation planning and test-driven development, into systematic debugging, code review on both the requesting and receiving side, and the steps that close out a branch.
Parallel work is part of the design. One skill dispatches multiple subagents, and another handles execution of a plan that has already been agreed.
The record marks it interactive with read and write capability. Its example openers are as ordinary as describing an idea worth building or adding a feature to an existing project.
What stands out
It is a methodology package rather than a service connector, with no external account or API behind it.

Where Superpowers is listed
Superpowers is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. Jesse Vincent has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
