Planning

Superpowers is a complete software development workflow library for AI coding assistants. It provides structured skills for test-driven development, systematic debugging, brainstorming, implementation planning, code review, and subagent-driven development. The skills enforce disciplined practices through mandatory workflows and integrate with Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex platforms.

Conductor is a Context-Driven Development plugin that organizes software projects through structured documentation and workflows. It creates and maintains product vision, tech stack, and workflow artifacts while guiding implementation through specification-first, TDD-based development with git-aware progress tracking and semantic reversion capabilities.

Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.

Planning with Files implements the Manus-style context engineering pattern, creating task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md files to serve as persistent 'working memory on disk'. It helps manage complex multi-step tasks by tracking phases, storing research findings, logging progress, and recovering context across sessions. The skill supports 10+ AI coding assistants including Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Kiro.

A brainstorming workflow skill that helps users clarify what to build before planning implementation. It guides exploration of requirements, proposes approaches with trade-offs, and captures key decisions in structured markdown documents.

A specification workflow orchestrator that creates and manages numbered specification directories. It tracks user decisions through product requirements, solution design, and implementation planning phases while maintaining README.md files to log context and progress.

This skill helps create detailed implementation plans that break down software features into executable tasks following Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles. It provides templates, examples, and validation checklists to ensure plans are complete, traceable to specifications, and can be followed independently by developers.

A solution design specialist skill that helps create and validate Solution Design Documents (SDDs). It provides templates, validation checklists, and a structured workflow for documenting technical architecture, interfaces, and design decisions through iterative discovery, documentation, and review phases.

This skill helps manage complex implementation plans by breaking them into phases and executing tasks systematically. It tracks progress with TodoWrite, handles parallel task delegation to agents, validates checkpoints before proceeding, and always pauses for user confirmation between phases.
