Superpowers: Making Coding Agents Think Before They Code

Coding agents like Claude Code show a consistent pattern: they jump straight to implementation without planning, specifications, or tests, resulting in code that looks right but is subtly broken. Superpowers addresses this by enforcing a structured development workflow—brainstorming, spec creation, test-driven development, and code review—that triggers automatically. This methodology is significant because it reveals that improving AI-assisted development isn't about smarter models, but about better processes that ensure quality at every stage.
